    Pretty straight forward, you have to get the wiring harness for the radio that plugs into your existing wires. I don't have the steering wheel controls but I know they sell the harness for that also. I tied into the rear backup light so the camera automatically comes on when I put it in reverse.

    Is the underside of these mats shaped to go in the channels in the bed? Or just flat and lays on top of the ribs?
    I assume it lets water still get to the drain holes, yes? I like the idea of stuff not sliding around so easily, but I don't want to have moisture, dirt, oak blooms, and all the other crap that falls in the bed trapped under a mat instead. How big of an issue is this?

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    A couple minor things today. Replaced the batteries for the flyeyez led lighting modules in the glove/center console. Replaced a burnt bulb in the oem fog light switch and installed a shorty antenna. Didn't noticed any difference in reception(a main concern) as i listen to some AM and FM time to time. Looks better and I won't be hitting the ceiling of parking structures.

    Not a very big issues. Yes water drains and yes it lays flat. It’s well worth it. Look on Craig’s list. Got my mat for 40 from a guy that sold his taco. Don’t pay full price. U can find it cheap online and give it time to pop up on Craig’s list
