Do you have the installation instructions?

This is not a factory system, it's installed only by the dealers so it's about as plug and play as it gets.

The only catch is you have to drop a serious number of garnish panels to run the new wire harness from the driver's side over to the passenger side and mount both the gateway and RES ECU. The knee airbag also needs to get dropped so be careful not to damage the connector for the squib or you'll get an airbag light after you power back up and make sure you torque it back to 10Nm in the correct pattern so it does its job correctly if the time comes.

Also don't forget that little short pin gets installed in the RB for registration only and then must be removed for the system to operate properly. Many of the registration steps are highly time sensitive so practice the sequence first. Some steps limit you to about 20 seconds before you have to start all over again.
