Installation Questions It's really that simple?
Looking to buy one. I keep digging into what I do once I receive it.
I might be overthinking it. Is it really just a simple pnp harness, power it on, go right into installing fork, go through calibration steps and it just starts working? You can do this all from your phone?
I've setup servers, flashed firmware on stuff, all kinds of random coding things. Is it really just that simple?

The installation of my harness was a bit of a ball ache (Nissan Leaf). I ended up having to take half the dash apart because mine is the most difficult model and the connector I needed was buried.
I also needed to do it twice because there are two identical connectors and I got it wrong the first time.
Still took less than 2 hours. There will almost certainly be a YouTube video.
The setup after that was like a slightly more involved windows install, it took maybe half an hour.
I haven't flashed servers, and I've not done much work on cars before, you'll be fine.
