Power Commander III install
#14
heres the pic i promised, as you can see i brought the main power commander cable up and over then slid the unit sideways down against the battery.. this way, i have enough cable slack to pull it out and lay it up top if i want to load a map or something.. when i installed it i had to rearrange the wires under the seat to give room on the battery side... hope this helps..

My PC111 is under the seat, at the top facing me so any adjustments are/would be easy. To aid the install i removed all the cable and wiring block ties so that i could shuffle things around and create a little more space. Mines has the alarm in there as well so space is tight, but with a little patience it will go.

I know that when I did mine, I basically moved things around just to get it in there. This spring, I'm going to remove the battery like many have said on this forum, and try to get it in there a little better so that it isn't just crammed in there. My suggestion would be to remove the battery while installing it.

Mine is facing up, right under the seat. I also have the stock alarm in there and that extra alarm module sure made it a lot tougher.
I would also suggest you remove the battery box.
The ECU to PCIII connector went where the manual suggests, I then pushed the alarm module underneath that ECU/PC connector (tight fit). After that I cut off some cable/wire ties to give the cables some more slack. Then it's just a question of patience and time to get it all in there. Be sure to check regularly to see if both side covers (battery and other side) still fit... Had to take it all out once because the battery box wouldn't fit anymore.
In the end I was just happy it all got in there...So it is possible.
I still have to go out and do a test drive to see if the PCIII made any difference, it sure does sound better with it connected, I have the V&H slip-ons with silent mufflers & AN big sucker).
