Some cars have them factory installed and they don't hang out the front bumper
unless you want them to. I have such a car and the plug is tucked away
in the engine compartment. You have to pop the hood and look for it.

If it isn't readily visible, just take the car in. If it turns out that it
already has one installed, hopefully the shop would charge for pointing it
out.
