POINT

To mount the ETC unit, use the tape attached to the ETC unit or the double-sided tape supplied with this product.

Notes

The position of the plastic mounting parts differs by model year and model, but install the mounting parts in the same locations as stock. Due to the thickness of the paint, the keyhole mounting area and the inside of the door may become thicker, making it harder for the key latch to catch when locking. In that case, a minor adjustment is needed, such as slightly bending the key latch or slightly filing the groove on the body side. If you are unsure about installing it yourself, please have the work done by someone with the proper knowledge or by a custom shop. If you have any questions, please contact us via our contact form.
