However, this was my first time working with car electronics of any kind, so I really didn't know what to expect going in. Having said that, even with that setback it still was not difficult to use and now that everything is straightened out it works great. No major complaints. Just be prepared to adjust some wires. A quick search on youtube for removing wires from a wiring harness was all I...
