How difficult is it to install? Is there a lot of wire cutting & splicing? Or is it pretty much plug & play? Are the instructions clear enough?

Absolutely NOT plug and play. I recommend having an experienced technician do the installation. $125 for my son's 2012 Avalon and well worth it. The tech did a great job of hiding all the wires, putting all pieces back perfectly, and obtaining extra parts needed due to the Avalon's keyless entry system, etc. Glad I didn't try it.

hi this is randy I am karlas husband I was the one that purchased and installed the viper starter. not plug and play and the big problem is that it does not come with installation instructions I had to lokk all over the internet, I did find them. the viper is a very good unit, range on it is excellent. you have to have some electrical skills to install. I install it as I am a certified master auto tech. hope this helps. if you want the web site for install directions let me know'

The directions are very difficult. Warranty is void if a Viper technician doesn't install it. Also I had a difficult time returning the product and did not get my full refund.

Hi, there is splicing into wires with this kit, it is not a plug and play system.

Yea they are easy just the wiring gets complicated. It took me about 2 1/2 hours.. Pretty easy!!

Not hard at all, I'd say removing the door panels was the challenging part. I used the metra adapters for the speakers so that I didn't have to cut any wires.

Hi, this package is not a plug-and-play system; there are splicing connections that are made in the vehicle. The amount of wiring is minimal, total connections range from 8-14 wires, for the basic install. Most, if not all of the wires are located in the driver's under dash area, and drivers kick panel.

Its pretty easy! Took all of 30 minutes at the most and that because I flushed and lubed the conduit that the wire runs through. make sure you tie off the old light to the new light or use a fish tape to pull the wire and you will have no problems. Good Luck!

Acually it's pretty much plug and play. But don't go by the instructions from the factory they are pretty lame. I found a video online that showed how to properly installed and it was pretty easy. Took me about 15 minutes a light

It was a plug and play install. Nothing technical about it. I only remember it being easy! I like them and am replacing the rest in the house with these! ; )

It's easier to install than others I've ever used. And you can find the instruction inside the package. Good luck~~

You would have to cut & splice the wires - wires as they come are def not that long.

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.

its been awhile since I installed it...I don't recall having to do any of that. Can you send me a pic of the wires or I will check mine later and reply

It's a pain to install. A lot of wires. I eventually got mine done but it takes a lot of patience. I had to get a separate harness for the remote start to work in my 06 gmc sierra.

Just follow the directions (the received fits snugly into the cover-just leave the wire exposed). It is a really simple installation but if you're asking this, you may need to hire someone....

I don't really understand the question. If you understand what the modulator does the installation is very straight forward. It does come with clear instructions.

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