code reader connection ?

Have a 95 sl320, bought a code reader since this car is OBD II compatible but the reader has a rectangular hook up and the car has a round plug. Is there an adapter for this plug, or is there another place to plug in. The round plug is under the hood, passenger side close to the windshield.

I think your 95 is OBD1 compliant. But, check under the drivers side left knee space in case I'm worng.

Take the code reader back. Your car is not OBD-II. That started in 1996.

Your car is OBDII compliant - several 1995s were. The plug should be under the steering wheel - by law it must be readily accessible from the driver's seat. You can also read other OBDI codes on the 38 pin connector in the engine compartment.

I knew that it was because I had read through the forums and found that the 95 SL320 was OBD II compatable. Also found out that if you check under the hood you will find a sticker stating that it is. Thanks again, just hard finding the plug under the steering wheel. Will look again this afternoon.
