    VDO box Help!

    My friend was helping me replace the dash... Unfortunately he got bored and decided he doesn't want to help with reassembly. No problem, everything is back together as it should be except this:








    Any ideas on how and where this mounts?

    Thats the cruise control module. It goes right above the DME. Its a pretty tight fit.

      I have this exact question but still can't figure out exactly where it goes. Does it go directly above the DME? Mine has some kind of small bracket attached to it which looks appears to attach with one screw. TIA.

        Yes it goes right above the DME and mount to the dash.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          It wedges in between the dash and the bracket. It's a very tight fit. Its forward of the DME, IIRC.
