Hello , I'm planning on installing my ms2 box in the dash in front of me, the ecu will be directly below the pioneer headunit;
Will the headunit make any electrical noise or interference on the ECU?
I find it to be the best place because of wiring simplicity and communication...

Re: Ecu in car location
there's a slim change you might see interference from the stereo at high volume probably best to tuck the ecu out the way, glovebox works well for some people, i personally have mine tucked in my centre console
Re: Ecu in car location
More likely is the other way round - the ECU will interfere with the radio. A good place for the ECU is to make a kickboard in the passenger footwell across the bulkhead, and fit it behind that. There's usually space there for pedals on a RHD version.dochka wrote:Hello , I'm planning on installing my ms2 box in the dash in front of me, the ecu will be directly below the pioneer headunit;
