If you sit in the passenger seat, the computer is behind the dash, basically around the right half of your map pocket. Most people here will tell you not to use it as they don't do much. Also, I believe they reccomend a 160* thermostat if you don't have one.

Becuase:
1. If you have a stock car its just gonna dump more fuel into your engine.
2. If you have a modded car it won't be anywhere as good as a decent dyno tune.

Well you have one so give it a shot. I personally would never run one, especially with stock stuff, but I'm nowhere near a car expert.
