Take 5 minutes to remove the driver seat - or at least set in in the back seat foot well.Any pointers for the brake controller install. Doing mine soon.
4 bolts, E-torx (maybe an E6)
Slide the seat clear back, take out the front two bolts, slide it clear forward and take out the two rear, then lift and pull back. There's a wire/cable going to the seat if there's heated seats, really easy to disconnect at the seat bottom if it won't move far enough back for you.
Man, that gives a lot more room to lay down there and see things. Don't know why I didn't do that when I installed it on my 2020.
I did take the seat loose and lifted it back when removing the controller from my 2020, and then did it on the 2022 when I installed the controller on it.
Install the knob in the dash first, run the wire over to the left side where the controller box will be.
Make the connections to the controller, then install the controller. It's a lot easier to connect thing when you have that controller box with bracket in your hand looking at it (ask me how I figured that out LOL)
IMO, placing the controller itself in place and installing the two nuts should be the last part - then strap the wires in place.
It's not too bad if done in that order - and with the seat taken loose.
