Maybe those who have one would like to share a photo of where it's located and how/where it plugs in.

Very interesting.
Live tuning.
Unichip can control Boost.
Unichip can control Idle.
Unichip can control Fuel.
Unichip can control Timing.
Unichip has engine over heating protection via coolant temp sensor.
Unichip has an EGT protection mode.
Unichip can drive extra injectors or drive factory injectors directly.
Unichip can be set up for launch control.
Unichip can eliminate most road speed governors.
Unichip can fully control water injection, nitrous and water spray.
Manipulate throttle response. (Most late vehicles with drive by wire)
Simulate cat converter signals. (If the cat converter is removed.)
Unichip can have up to 5 different maps. –Using a map select switch or a blue tooth switch.
Different maps can be from an immobilizer map, high boost, low boost, different octane, and towing.
The Unichip has a 95% chance it will be transferable to your next vehicle.
Chips are suited to all Australian Vehicles, and fuels.
Ease of useability, simple as plug and play.
It is the first chip of its kind, now the ENTIRE industry of “Piggy Back” ECU’s has copied the design and signal interpretation.
The most in-depth tuning software for this style of chip on the market.
Unichip can do v-tech control and other cam timing control.

Stoneman, reason I asked about how it was wired in and what the Unichip actually monitored was to make some comparison with others. Matt Bailey mentions some other brands in his video but, AFAIK they're more petrol oriented (although they may have diesel options). The Unichip is, then, basically the next generation from the ChipIt style which controlled a few functions but nowhere near as many as Unichip. That means that tuning should be better than the ChipIt style and, obviously, streets ahead of the sub-$200 Ebay specials.
Particularly interesting was Matt Bailey's comments about ECU tunes and how the tuning software didn't quite interface with what was written to the ECU by the manufacturer. So, while it was possible to get quite a good tune it is very much a case of trial and error rather than being able to see the actual parameter as can be done on chips like the Unichip. His conclusion that the piggy-back style was far superior seems logical to me.
