It plugs into the side of the ECU (Power FC) by a modified PS2 (not playstaion 2) connector.

The Commander for the PFC is grounded through one of the pins in the connector and to the ECU which is then chassis grounded. Commander does not need an external ground.

The commander can be mounted anywhere. Most people use the Apex bracket and double side tape it somewhere.

The PFC box itself doesnt need to be ground but there is serveral places for the harness to be grounded.

i used the bottom bracket from the stock ecu. I wanted to use the top one for more stability, but it required slight trimming due to the datalogit and commander inputs. I used steel wool to roughen up the bracket and side of ecu a little so the double stick tape will hold more. it holds fine and is very stable. But I'm soon gonna use my upper bracket also. Just knowing that a bracket for an ecu is off, kinda bothers me. So im going to trim that little piece so i can get it mounted up. heres a pic of what it looks like right now.

PS - i just remembered that the pics of it are in my camera, which is in my car, which is in my garage, which means its downstairs, which means i have to walk, which i dont want to do. I'll post the pics when i go down there to get food or something hehe. but hopefully you already know what i mean.
