I got it but not installed yet. It won't be fun installing so I'm saving it for last. The hardest part I think will be tracking down the reverse light wire in back to splice into and also a hot wire under the dash to splice into as well. Gonna be a bitch poking needles in wires to see if they are hot or not. Wish Helm had the service manual available so I could see the wiring diagrams and not waste my time. Might wait until Helm releases it, probably another month or so. Ahhh, who am I kidding, I won't waitCtrl-Z said:

You're right it shouldn't be too bad with that. Seems the only good place to mount the lcd screen is right above the left power outlet so that should make it easy and have no or barely any wire showing.
Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck with the mud flaps, should be easy. Of course I thought that too when I installed them on my Ody. There was no clearance to get one of the screws off between the tire and fender well. Had to get out the jack and raise that end up so the wheel would drop down a bit and give me room to work with. Easy enough though, I suspect the Ridgeline has more clearance than the Ody so it should go easy.laserfan said:This is the coolest toy I've seen yet--this and the discussion about the hitch installation inspired me to join this ROC.
My own hitch and mudflaps arrived yesterday, so the mudflaps go on this morning. A recent back sprain will keep me away from the hitch install for a while, especially Vertrkr after your description of it!
You need to be commended on all the effort you have made so far. My focus is on the factory radio. I don't seem to get any takers on the questions I have been posting. I will hopefully get my OmniFi connected soon. I should receive my parts from UPS this week and I will try and do my install this weekend. Hey Vertrkr, I will be in Union City this Saturday. Are you still thinking about Mt Diablo?vertrkr said:
Just to follow up here too, They did install just fine, very clean, they just don't work is all However, I'm pretty sure my control box is bad. I'm going to order another set, swap black boxes and then return it with the bad box. All might not be lost yet.bongus said:
Unfortunately that's as far as I got as the wife left me with the infant and toddler for the night so let the diapers and crying begin, they don't seem to like to work on cars at the moment but I'm trying.
