Install is easy and comes with directions - I ran the wire into the car through the grommet under the PCM - disconnect the battery before removing it.

like he said it is really simple. The hardest part is finding out where to mount the switch but I had a spot picked out for it before I started. When I did my M6 swap my center console didn't have an ashtray cover so I made a plate to cover it and have it mounted there. a really nice spot is on the driver's seat next to the seat controls, hidden and looks stock if done right. I ran it through that same grommet nbmz28 mentioned but I recommend using some rtv to seal it up nicely afterwards since I've had leakage problems when I ran my amp power wire through there.

well just got it. where did you ground it to? can i use a existing ground or do i have to make a new seperate ground for it by it self?

was going to use an extra oem swich but it has a 3 way switch. soo im guessing its not possibol.

Use the ground right by the connectors...remove the nut and put the eyelet from the switch on it...retighten...that's the only ground you need.

Here's a picture of mine


I traced either a nickle or dime with a pencil to get the correct diameter hole the directions call for (measure them first). I then used a dremel to cut the hole out.

It's a very easy install and very straight forward. The switch really helps with engine temps during the summer.
