I suggest against the clear bra if it is the clear 3m stuff. it yellows and after a few months you can see it. The car is prone to chips but in your color they will be hard to see.

Just my opinion

Pretty fast shipping and packaged very well..
Read the instructions in about 5 minutes and started to get set up for the install...

Disconnect the negative on the battery..
First was to get the brand new packing blanket out to cover the seat and floor.

The instructions say to pull off the trim pieces being careful to pull them off in a straight motion so that the clips are not damaged.
I like to use the trim tools designed for this type of work

I wrapped up the trim pieces in clean micro fiber cloths to avoid scratches and damage

The small panel next to the knee air bag takes quite a bit of pressure to remove..
It does provide access to one of the 10mm bolts that need to be removed..

Glove box comes off with 5 screws like this.. 2 bottom 3 top

You can see I se all of these on the floor because they have wires connected to them and you never want to disconnect the air bags.. Just put some soft cloths between the pieces so nothing gets damaged..

At last we find what we have been looking for

Disconnect the plugs and start plugging in the harness

There is a hole in the back of the glove box that you can put the cable for the controller in

Put everything back in the reverse order

After I reconnected the battery and touched the start button.

And the unit is installed

Total time including stopping to take pics along the way 40 mins
Followed the instructions and set the system up with 5 pre sets of differing combinations...
Nice tutorial! It really is easy. Folks should never pay to have this installed IMO
