Default LMC5 install

Do I need to disconnect my car battery before my LMC5 install?

Yes. I just installed mine today. Follow the (well written) instructions. There is also a YouTube video.Also do the brown wire mod while you're there.

Hardest part for me was removing the relay. Mine was a PITA. Otherwise everything else was quite easy.

Search the forum, many posts about the brown wire mod. Basically sometimes a service message can appear on some units. This takes care of it. The mod is included in the instructions and only takes a few extra minutes.

I was apprehensive about doing it, but all went well and now I'm glad it's done.
