Do you guys have any pictures of where you put your Dinan unit under the hood? I don't think mine will last where I put it.

Yeah! I think it was a coincidence. I can't imagine it caused his problems. It's hard to determine though, all we have is the letters on the screen

Heres a screen grab from my AWE s-flo install video showing where I installed the Dinan Elite unit in my 19 F60. It seems pretty secure under the strut brace.

Thank you. That's where I put mine. I'm hoping that it doesn't vibrate loose

correct! I think the fancier unit has more connectors so this won’t be a good reference for that. But for the sport this worked well.

I've got the elite, and it's so big, it's hard to find a place. The JCW doesn't have much room for it

'18 JCW. As you can see, I shaved the ears off the one side so that there was more contact area between the unit and the car. It is held in place by industrial velcro. I did not want a permanent installation although mine has stayed in place just fine.

It also made running and hiding the harness a breeze.
