That's correct, in fact, that's actually a part of the OBD-II
standard. IIRC, OBD-II mandates that the connector must be within
three feet of the steering wheel. So, usually they end up being
on the driver's side, under the dash simply because most vehicles
don't lend themselves to having the port being in the dash itself,
and unless its a very small car, putting the port on the passenger
side is probably going to be stretching things a bit.
