I did not find much on this in my half-hearted look in the archives. I'm
looking for suggestions on where to route the ribbon cable to place it out
of sight until needed, but convienent for use when it is needed.

I have seen the pictures of the keypad mounted under the stereo. It looks
nice and is a possibility but I am not sure it is what I want to do. Any
other FM ECU owners handling this in another way they like?

Thanks for any info,

I ahve my cable running under the center console, ending up under the
ashtray. When ever I feel like plugging the ECU in I simply remove the
ashtray and plug in the ECU. Works ok.

I run mine up over the top of the carpet in the passenger footwell, then under
the mat up to between the passenger seat and transmission tunnel.

Works for me.
