Electronic rust protection

Anyone know a good spot on the 128i to install electronic rust protection box? And good spot to get power and ground?

hmm is it a OEM protection box?...if not I wouldn't touch it as it will must likely void your warranty.

I plan to get one on my own but its the same brand as the dealer sells.

Don't. They have no technical merit whatsoever in the automobile application. The placebo effect alone will be improving whatever rust protection it came with from the factory.

Although this test was commissioned by a chemical rust prevention company, it seems to have been carried out in an unbiased manner. It shows an electronic rust protection devices to be useless: http://www.krown.com/faqs/COMPARATIV...LECTRONIC2.pdf
