Glove Box (Standalone Owners only please)

[Boosted Supra]

I'm trying to figure out a way to run my DB9 serial cable from my AEM EMS to my custom glove box plate but not sure how to connect my gender changer to the plate. I was thinking of drilling two tiny little pilot holes on the plate and screwing it in, but I don't know how it will look? How should I cut the hole for the gender changer?

Has anyone done something like this? Have Pic's? Some of you guys must've done something to get the cable off the floor (so ghetto) of the passenger side. Thanks

I mounted my Haltech E11 in the stock ecu case and my serial cable will be attached inside the glove box, I dont like the thought of a visable plug on the dash.

I took out the stock lumbar switch (I have sparco seats) and ran the line to there. I need to make a little thing to hold it there though, it's just a hole right now.

I just tucked my cable up under the dash undercover peice on the pass side. Was easy to pull out when needed and tuck back up without issues.

I'm doing the same right now, but I like the idea of having a serial port mounted somewhere hidden yet easily accessible.

Has anyone else had difficulty placing the AEM standalone in the factory ECM location without interfering with the glove box opening and closing? Mine will open and close, but it is stiff due to the back - top edge of the glove box rubbing the glove box upper liner. I assume the fix is to shave off some material from the glove box?

Thanks,

i'm not using the glove box liner with my aem car.kinda suck's that you can see the ecu with the glove box open,but the glove box open's and close's.

I mounted my AEM in the glovebox and keep the cable beside it. How the hell did you guys fit your AEM unit in the stock location and did you have to cut the glovebox?

The ECU would be fine behind the glove box btt as far as the cable, I have a custom CNC port that sits in the lumbar location. I anodized it black and etched the MoTeC in it. It is invisible when unplugged and looks OEM.

I cut the top back of mine with the snippers enough to where it won't rub

I run an extension cable from mine to down beside the passanger seat.

This way I can throw the Laptop on the back seat when it's not in use.
(rare these days as it has the SatNav software installed.)

That is a great location for the port in a space that is blocked off and unused
in my interior. How did you design the opening and closing feature for the
port cover? Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one putting it in the glove box huh. I figure since I have to drop the box to adjust boost settings, why not add it next to it? Thanks guys

Duane, very cool place and nice custom work.

Top notch machine work as always

Though I am surprised you did not find a way to make it a complete face plate instead of the edge cut outs.

Thanks, I think with some different ideas, you will choose a good location for it.

Thanks guys.

In the edge cut out is a lock to keep the adapter from coming out. I need to push inside that cut out and push a button in order to release the MoTeC adapter. :icon_bigg No worries of it popping out while driving hard and wanting to data log everything. :icon_bigg

PS: Figgie, your number doesn't work anymore, you change it?

Ahhhh that is right! I Forgot that is it an audio connector that MoTeC uses for the CAN connector.
