I believe it has a little door covering it.

Did you find the connector?

Generic scan tools might not show all stored codes or talk with all the modules in the vehicle. The best
Aftermarket scan tool that is close to Dealer Capacity is: VCDS from www.ross-tech.com (PC based).

I made my own video of the location a few days ago... this is on a A4 Jetta like yours, but a 2006 Model.
