    The plug is located below the right side of the glove compartment.

    There's an English tradition at Christmas of Pantomime and one part is that if anyone says Oh no it isn't someone has to reply oh yes it is

    Page 198

    Oh no it isn't

    Oh yes it is......

    Hmm. This image on page 198 only shows where the fuses are located.

    I found the photo of it in the manual. It's on page 210 but the picture is pretty dark and difficult to see the exact location. I'll find it eventually lol.

    Passenger side, below the corner of the dash lateral to the passenger foot well . Just run your hand till it comes to the end of the passenger side under dash.

    It’s way to the right
    You have to line it up perfectly
    A normal 458 is much easier to plug in
    The Speciale is a little harder

    You should have the tender attached at all times when the car is not being used so I'd find it sooner rather than later....

    Thanks guys. I found it. I was looking much too low under the glove compartment and near where a passenger's feet would be. lol

    Asking here too just in case : I got a Ctek adapter to plug the tender to my speciale, but when I plug it on that 3 pin plug, nothing happens.
    Am I doing something wrong ? :D

    I figured it’s always better than creating yet another thread ^^ plus our speciales aren’t getting any younger aren’t they ? :D
