I want one of those . Are they that easy to fit?
They are relatively easy for LHD (left had drive) cars. It is do-able for RHD (right hand drive) vehicles.

The difficulty in RHD is getting enough working space as the CANBUS is on the right side of the vehicle. You can gain more working space by removing a single bolt that holds the accelerator pedal (this is a drive-by-wire, so no mechanical links to remove).

Second, is fishing for and hooking up to constant 12V power line (some in the UK have suggested using the one that leads to the circular light control switch). Ground wire is easy: use the factory ground next to the engine hood/bonnet release lever.
