Ecu in car location

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...

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

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.
