i did the initial programming on my bench, it took some time to wrap my head around the menu structure, and i wired a momentary switch to the programming wires to make it easier, but once i had it set the way i wanted it it was time to install.
the kit comes with crimp on bullet connectors and wire taps. in the sedan you remove the 5 locking pins in the top of the trunk liner and pull down to access the wires.
you snip the positive wire, crimp on the connectors, and then tap into the ground wire and thats pretty much it. i used 2sided foam tape to mount the unit in the correct orientation so the accelerometers work properly.
some initial setup issues were worked out quickly and i absolutely love the product now.
it kinda grabs your attention and says "HEY! IM BRAKING!" in a cool, yes-its-modified kinda way.
Looks cool. I got something like that but it seems like a PITA to get to the third brake light. How was the process of getting to the third brake light? I know you said remove the 5 locking pins, but was the process hard? I think I was reading somewhere you have to remove the back seat as well to get access there.

if you want accecss to the actual third brake light you have to remove the back seat, center rest, plastic covers on the sides of the bench, side pillars, and rear shelf. But the wiring to the third brake light can be easily accessed through the trunk by removing the 4 plastic pins or whatever you call them where the speakers are.

once you remove the 5 pins in the top of the trunk liner, it drops down and you have full access to wires.

I ordered one, do you happen to remember the color code for the wiring on the brake light? Thanks
in mine (2012 sedan) the GREEN wire was positive and black was ground, but please... use a multimeter for your own install. cant be too sure with electronics, you send one magic pixie down the wrong tube and kaput
