Looks good. 'Tis very similar to how its installed on my Ford Fusion. That 6 round connector provides a great place to mount the cable in front. You're going to love the simplicity and reliability of the Readybrake. :)
One small challenge I've had, that based on the pictures you may have as well: The first time you hitch up, and you try to lock the base plate tabs in, the one on the driver side will not want to lock in place. This is because your Readybrake cable is right up against the back of the base plate where that tab is trying to lock into place. Cable is in the way, basically.
Solution: I just reach back with one hand and hold the cable out of the way while locking the tab in with the other hand. No big deal, really, just wanted to let you know. At some point, I'll probably re-route the cable slightly lower or higher to solve the problem completely.
