Need help locating the 2-step plug

Hi,

On my evo9 rs the evo 2 step plug is unplug. I would like to plug it in but its very complicated. It is the plug way above the clutch pedal. Does any have any hints on how to plug this thing in pain-free?

haha it's easy...

1. move the seat as far back as it can go
2. tilt the steeringhttps://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-general/438932-need-help-locating-2-step-plug.html wheel all the way up
3. take your shoes off (optional)
4. sit in your seat backwards...(legs on the backrest with feet pointing at the roof)
5. lower your head under the steering wheel and dash
6. slide yourself off the seat until you can see above the clutch pedal
7. find plug, plug it back in

If you didn't get the above, ill try to describe my final position. My head was in front of the brake pedal, turned to the right looking above the clutch pedal. My lower back/butt was on the very edge of the seat. My legs and feet were resting on top of the backrest.

When i did this, i was adjusting the clutch pedal. I figure it would be the same.
