Have fun crawling thru the airplane to install and service it but hey you know what's best for you. If you watch what you are doing you can keep the wires away from it and it works. The manual warns against ppl putting it on top of the battery because someone would do it but putting it in the tail is overkill.

Sorry I'm having a very bad day and your question was taken as a smart remark... I really thought the coils would be the main problem but the compass doesn't fluctuate at all. I leave 6 inches of shielded wire just in case I have a problem. I'm trying to dig up the other photo's but they are in 3 different pc's The center stick XL has it in a slightly different place.

A lot has been said, but here's what I did and why. I finally mounted mine near the rear access panel at the back of the plane. I first hooked the unit up and connected to the Dynon before permanently mounting it. I had an inexpensive magnetic compass that I used to verify the heading of the plane. This also validated the magnetic alignment of my workshop on our plat. The plane was setting parallel to the building. I planned on putting the electronic magnet behind the passenger seat. I couldn't find anywhere in that area that it read accurately. The flap torque tube was causing a lot of magnetic interference (ferrous), and when I got it far enough from the flap controls the steel tube framing of the step started taking over. My final location in the back of the plane is very convenient and easily reached and there was no measurable deviation due to local magnetic fields.
