What's involved in the wiring?

Hey Greg, ill let you know how my experience goes once the pieces arrive. It seems pretty straight forward and plug and play with pass throughs. I had one of the sellers send me the install instructions before I ordered. the only lights that seem a bit more involved is the pano roof sky lounge lights. the sheet has an asterisk and notation about programming.

Thanks. It's not clear to me from the photos and text where the power module is located.

My 2020 had the 3D, and I miss the sound very much.

But what surprises me, is how much I miss the look of that tweeter ambient lighting. It really completes the interior look of the car in my opinion.

Hope the installation works well.

Installation is very straight forward.

- Remove the existing "Ford Mustang-ish" plastic speaker cover from A-pillar using a trim removal tool.
- Remove the door panel (instructions were sent on removal by another member).
- The kit comes with a "Y" adapter plug.
- At the ambient light module on the door, disconnect the wire that plugs into position 6 and plug in the "Y" adaptor.
- The end that was removed from position 6 now plugs to one end of the Y adaptor.
- The other end goes up to connect with the new LED speaker grill.
- Test to make sure all lighting functions including color changes.
- Reassemble door panel.
