# How do I plug in the Lyteflo Device to a Tesla Model 3 (2018) ?

With Tesla vehicles, you will need to remove a plastic trim panel to locate the OBD diagnostic port. Then you can connect an adaptor which will allow you to plug in the Lyteflo device. The adaptor cables are labelled. 

 

### **Model 3 (2018)**

**OBD Port Location:** Under the rear passenger AC vent in the center console.

**Demo Video:**

*Note: The video below mentions 2019-2024 Model 3. The 2018 Model 3's port is in the same location, it just uses a different adaptor cable.*
