The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812 for your 2012 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L V6 will install on the right hand (Passengers) side of the engine in the rear most (Closest To Firewall) plug.

Don't forget to use the Kat's Heaters Plug Cover part # KH28405 to prevent dirt and debris from getting inside the connector while not in use. I have attached an illustration to give you a better idea where the right rear plug is located.

The port will be located more or less in the middle of the block, on the right hand side of the engine, closest to the firewall. The port will be below the head and above the oil pan. If you are unclear of where to install the heater, a local automotive shop should be able to install this for you relatively quick and for a small fee.
