Mounting the Renntech ELM
For those of you who have this, where did you mount it? Did you just leave it in the passenger footwell? I saw a mention of putting it in the armrest. Anyone want to share there install location? Pics? Thanks.

Mine is mounted upside down just under the glove box. The harness does not need to be extended if you do that or go in the glove box. Most other spots will need an extended harness.
the arm rest is really convenient, but I get worried of a spilt drink.
I'm about to move mine into the little container on the front of the driver's seat.
DO THE KNOBS!!! Bust most importantly, keep it out of the footwell, so you can play.

here is a couple snapsshots. one with the cupholder to better show location and the second with it removed since I put it right under.
sorry the pics kinda stink a little and my car is dirty! Just wanted to give a quick look.
FYI I ran the cable through a small hole I drilled in the forwrd lower section where the ELM is installed and ran the extended cabling under the center console up to the passenger wheel step where it hooks up. have any questions let me know

Definitely fits. the only reason I didn't go there is because i am paranoid of a liquid spill and I don't use it often enough to need it in there. Under the driver's seat was the next best for me.

Anyway wherever you put it just keep it out of sight if you have any warranty stuff going on....
I change my settings from time to time so like not having to move out of my seat or contort my body to make changes.

I dont do a lot of drinking in the car and am typically really careful. Even if there was a spill the enclosure around the ELM is pretty tight...would take several liters of fluid and it sitting for a while to break through....

I've got a bbq I am attending today, but the car is there and the HMS guys know they have free run on it so they can show you or even copy it for you
. I left Jon the metal to do a few.
