Default F.R.E.D.

Has anybody installed F.R.E.D. or other similar progressive controlers by themselves? I just was looking at the NX instructions and it is difficult to figure out. Were is the best place to install it? I'm thinking of placing it in the center console. :confused:

FYI, I know someone that has a brand new FRED for sale. I'm sure he can save anyone that needs one some money.

I've got mine in the glovebox too.. I left about 24" of wire so it could be pulled out of the glovebox to change the settings ect.. Velcroe on the back keeps it from jumping around in the glovebox (i.e. no chance of changing the settings).

If you take your time it's no more difficult than installing a car stereo system..
