Yeah, you missed it.

It's a big sticky.

I unanimously approve of it.

Just check the resources section.

If everything goes as planned, I'll have a video guide up in about a week.

Everything other than the speed sensor wire was easy to find. If anyone needs help with that let me know. I forgot to take a picture of it after I found it but, after that it was real easy.

Besides the removal and follow the removal steps in reverse to put it back in, all there is is soldering wires together.

But as I said before, I'm going to try and video my complete audio system replacement in about a week, if you need more help.

Not needed, but it helps in tunnels.

Always safer to have somebody who's done it before, but this one rates about a 4 on the difficulty of install. Tucking the wires away enough to get the new unit in gives some people trouble.
