How much time are you spending to install and get functioning to your liking? I am also looking at the Signal Dynamics BackOff.

5 minutes tops. Basically acess the 3rd brake light and find the ground and power. Link up the grounds. Cut power lone to bulb and then attach one cord to bulb and other to the power line going to the car. Configure with two white cables. Pretty simple. Then tuck it away.

The instructions are pretty straight forward. Follow them and it doesn't take much time at all. I spent more time getting the wiring correct and soldering the joints. Programming the unit probably took ten minutes.

Installation is just three wires so the time depends on you skills and access to the light. Configuration takes a couple minutes.

While it has been some time since I purchased this unit, I have yet to install it. Since I have put it off for so long, I am now waiting on my power company to come install it under a plan that I am subscribing to whereby they will do my electrical work for me. Check back in a few weeks if you haven't gotten your answer by then

I had a professional come and install in my absence, he had to cut a box behind the TV in the wall for $K converter and he fixed it with a mount he suggested, also I had a sound bar installed just below the screen.I wish I had run an Ethernet wire from my router, even though I mage to trouble shoot wireless connection by using the Media part the WIFI spectrum at 5K htz.

I Have not installed yet. Will let you know when I do. Probably in a few weeks.John

Can you tell me what type of the devices that you used to strengthen the signal (name, model, the frequency)

I haven't had mine installed yet. Hopefully that will be happening next week. Really glad you asked this question, and grateful to Gerald for his answer! This will probably save us some frustration!

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the answers. One more question, did any of you did a new install? based on the answers it seems that most or all of you just replace an old/broken board with this one. I am actually looking to do a new installation.

Depends on your skill level. I just installed mine on a 000 last night; it took me a couple of hours and sounds great. There are full instructions online in PDF, they may help you see if it is something you want to do yourself or not.

Sorry. I bought so long ago that when I went to install it, I could not find it. It will show up someday in one of the boxes in the garage, I am sure. LOL. I ended buying the RoadPro RPPS-16ES which I did install immediately and it is great. High quality build and 6 ft wires (though I only needed about 1 foot). For $2 more (and since wire length seems important to you) I would buy this one instead. I am very happy with it. Good luck!

I installed it last January and so far it is working great with no problems. Sorry you are having trouble with yours.

There is a #for service if you have problems. We called they were very helpful. We called because we could not get it to work. The problem was at the factory the miss marked the cables going to the outside and inside were backwards. The # to check your signal is *3001#12345#* make sure you use the star keys. Good luck

Dear John--Great!Although I am an electronic engineer, I never had installed a serious audio system until a few months ago. At the time, I was amazed that people with non-technical backgrounds were able to get their Surround Sound systems going, especially considering the sometimes inaccurate and usually incomplete instructions from the component manufacturers. I am thankful for this and other forums that help fill the information vacuum!Best Regards--Bill

I did not install yet as I have to make some repairs in my house. There is a review of another customer -By THOMAS PAGET - that had problems but manage to solve them. Hope I don't have the same problems as Andrea C. Sorry that I can't be helpfull.

Check fuses first. Then look at you high pass, full range and your low pass switch. Sensitivity also. Also your level min/max settings. If all else fails, contact planet audio.... they are great over there about walking you through installs.

haven't installed it yet, headed to michigan in may. will post how it works

Difficult is all in perspective, with some knowledge in radio connections, you should be able to install yourself as I did! It would also depend what you are installing it into?The levels of difficulty will of course vary...
