[quote name='Iceman' date='Aug 5 2004, 10:24 AM'] I have something what looks like a socket on the left side of the glove compartment, but there is a plastic cover over it.

[/quote]Yes. Plastic lid by driver's door is the socket for the diagnostic equipment. I picked up my car one tiime and the lid was still open. Obviously this was where they plugged in the laptop etc for Car Memory programming.
