The only "difficult" part of the install is determining how long, or short, the connecting cable should be. The instructions say 2-4 inches of play. Yours is a bit tighter than mine. When I first installed mine on the new car, I had it about as tight as yours appears to be. I had a guy cut me off and braked hard to avoid a collision. Upon inspection of the cable, I found it had snapped off near the front of the vehicle. Easy repair with some crush clamps but now I've increased the length a bit. I wish they had a better way to determine the length of that cable. After install I had a friend wait in a parking lot while I braked to watch it in action. Your video is a cooler way to do that...:)...thanks for posting....now I've gotta get out and mount the video camera so I can watch...:W....Dennis
P.S. I see you have the ReadyStop also installed....good call....D
Oh yeah, interestingly enough, I had to back off the brake cable some when I did my first test run. had it so tight it was barely enough to turn on the brake lamps(Jeep).
