How difficult is this to install? I don't know much about batteries and wires!

Very easy. One wire on the negative and one on the positive. The device uses double sided tape and can stick to any smooth surface near the battery. It took me no more than 15 minutes. Worst case you might have to loosen a bolt on your battery connector, but still very easy.

It's an easy install, but if you have doubts about doing it yourself, get help doing it. It's OK to not want to do this yourself. Get professional help, or a competent friend. In my case, I chose to mount it in a very well hidden location underneath my dash, and wire it discretely to an always-on power source also under the dash. Discuss options with your installer. It isn't a difficult project, so won't cost you a lot of money. Or no money, in the case of a friend. You will be amazed how well it works: Instantly locate you vehicle, download a complete history of where it has gone, every spot along the way, and how fast it was going at each point.

I was not able to do it myself. I am a 31 yr old female with no knowledge of automobiles. I had a friend help who had basic knowledge and between that and the instructions was able to do so with ease.

I couldn't figure it out. The number of wires on mine didn't match what the directions described. I couldn't find any help online or at their website. Everything was ambiguous. I finally took it to an auto mechanic and paid to have it connected, and it wasn't obvious to him either. Very frustrating that they can't go to a little more trouble on the directions.

Very easy hook the ground wire to any bolt that hooks to the frame that is not painted. Hook the hot wire to the positive side of the battery. Or better a wire away from the battery that keeps power on it when the car is off. Place the gps unit somewhere it cannot be seen use extra wire if needed. Under the dash neer the windsield is a good location.be sure to test to be sure its working properly after install. Repositioning may. Be needed to get good satilite signals.

It's very easy to install. You have 6 led lights all with their own wires. They plug into that box which is called a module. Now that box has power wire that DOES NOT have the 12volt plug. You buy the plug for about 4$ than a pack of but crimps for 2$ and connect the power wire and 12volt plug. Then plug it in. The installation is very easy but hiding the wires so it looks professional is the tricky part.

Just plug it in the balance port on your battery. Mounting it, I used the velcro provided and drilled two small holes slightly off center and close together, mark one of the wires and the terminal block un-plug them from the block feed through the holes and Bingo. Mine came out very nice. Also cut out a small rectangle on the velcro on the light to make a nice fit for the wires on the light itself..

I could scan the instructions and send them, but really there isn't much too the install. Just mount the transmitter and plug the harness into the winch, put the batteries in the remote and your ready.

I think it can be easy or difficult, depending on the vehicle. I installed mine (with a Kenwood DDX371) in a Land Cruiser, and it took me several hours to figure out where to hide the wires, how to remove the panels, how to get the spare tire out of the way, how to wire it, etc. I also researched it on ih8mud.com (a forum for everything Land Cruiser). I'm a girl with moderate mechanical ability, but I figured it out and learned a lot. I would not say it was easy. I probably saved $200 by installing the radio and camera myself. The most difficult part was fitting the wires through some of the rubber grommets because they had other wires coming through them and there was not much room. Running it under the vehicle as one person suggested would have been much easier. Good luck!

Also be sure to make sure you have your radio code if required, if you choose to disconnect the negative battery terminal while installing. Good luck

Wires need to be spliced. They give you just enough wire to make a decent splice. Otherwise order a kit that provides switch etc.

I did not get any instructions either. However that being said... It's not hard to install. Red to power side of battery and black to ground. I installed mine inside my saddle bag and ran remote up to handle bar for quick change of Chanel

If you have any knowledge of wiring, it want be difficult. If it is your first time, I would ask someone with more experience to give you a hand. I would also suggest putting an in-line fuse on the wire, just to be safe.

Pretty simple...just have to remove old unit and reattach new one, connecting the proper wires to one another...lots of instruction/how-to videos available on YouTube. It's not hard as each wire has a certain color, etc.

Assuming the batteries and your electrical system requires no other changes the than the installation of the battery monitor then all you will need is the 22 gauge wires (8) for the length you need. These are cheap at a hardware store and there should be no need for the wiring kit.

Easy if you are replacing the old ones, 2 wires and a ground wire. If this is a new install, as opposed to a replacement, you will probably need the services of an electrician. We love ours.

That wire is included (at least with both mine). You just need to attach the battery clips. I think it is about a 16 gauge wire.

It was not that difficult. The machine was together in under 20 minutes. It may be helpful to have a second person helping but not completely necessary. I did this on my own. The most frustrating part is getting the wires in position, that's where most of the time is spent.

Now that I've looked at the product, I remember. The wires will hook up as Tinkerguy notes below. Just put the wire into the hole and screw the screw in and it holds the wires firmly. So basically, you just need to strip the end of the wires from your 12V supply bare and put them in.

Run the 2 leads to your battery terminal or to your fuse panel, battery is easier. I used Velcro to mount my lights, but you could use self tapping screws if you'd like if you need to extend the wires you'll need a set of wire strippers and some additional 24 ga stranded wire and butt connectors.

I would not try to install this yourself if you don't have experience or expertise of any kind in this field. This is a bit more involved than setting up a home theater system or solar lights and such. Go to a professional who does this for a living and you'll save time, money and stress.
