BEGINNER PUZZLE

Item looks exactly like the listing but the quality control and ease of installation is TERRIBLE! The chart is not included. It comes via email in PDF format and was NOT written by a native English speaker. The wires listed in the PDF by color and location do NOT match what was installed. So if you don't pay attention to the position of the pins and use paint, you will connect them wrong. Orange is brown, brown is orange, etc. Also, this manufacturer doesn't have an "aftermarket connector" so you REALLY have to cut the wires and connect them to the old wiring harness, rendering the installed wiring harness useless when you replace the radio too previously. Line. In addition, the cables supplied are significantly smaller and of lower quality than those installed in the car, which makes it almost impossible to use splicing correctly and forces you to manually solder each splice in hopes that the device will work is working. The rear camera cable is not long enough to reach the back of a car unless you plan to mount it on the roof. The connectors aren't waterproof, so for indoor installs you'll need to remove the inner fairing to "maybe" route it to the inner rear deck before you run out of cable. They don't tell you to add additional adhesive modules to the windshield beyond the antenna connector. The connectors for the reverse light are so short that they need to be spliced, which means additional soldering. Terrible instructions, poor materials, inadequate connections. It's just a mess. Buy a brand name and order a plug adapter for your car. This is just terrible.
