this is always the way for me .. my car was made in 2000, so i dont know what the round port under the hood is about.. defo only 10 pins there... from what you say i should have ALDL connection under the steering wheel? I guess its under the plastic? ..

heh this is starting to sound like a repeat my last car which was a 2001!.. it still failed to be aldl and the connection under the hood made no sense ... only person I saw getting info out of it was a mercedes tech with a think pad. the ALDL connection was there but not apparently ... I never found it any way in all the known places .. it was concluded it had it but the port was never connected to harness.
only problem with these car that are on the cusp of 1999-2000+ seems like manufactures were quiet put out over these systems and refused to implement it in conforming to specs fasion.
I want to get a scan-gauge
