Where do you plug the cable in to code?

My wife has an F30 328i and I have an F30 335i on order.

OK, the guide to coding starts with the following:

"Connect cable to computer then to car"

But it doesn't show a photo of where to connect the cable or describe the location of the port...I've been searching these threads but I can't find it. A little help?

RHD = Right hand drive cars? As in non-US cars?
