Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is equipped with trip computer controls and does not use a sport steering wheel, lane departure warning, or cruise control before ordering. This CBS-2186 uses a bolt-on mounting style, a single rectangular male connector, and blade terminals, so connector shape and terminal count should be matched to the original part before installation.
