I love Alans parts, but the install was something I couldn't of possibly done by myself, especially because of how by my arms are. Its really a by feel not site job, we pulled the air bag cover as well as the console/radio and bezel for working room. I wouldn't call it absolutely necessary but your dumb not too! The rest is simple wiring, I have one last custom touch to add to it but it will take some work before I am satisfied with it enough to show everyone!
