    Sounds like a load of crap to me. I know for a fact you can just interchange the wires and it will work like a champ.

    I don't have a module on mine. I just wired it up to the existing wires.

    What stereo do you have now, JBL or non-JBL? I had the non-JBL (single disk)

    You shouldn't need anything other than a harness adapter if you don't want to cut into your existing wiring.

    Just don't hook up the elimination "dimmer" wire! You'll blow the guage cluster.
