    E350 Cabrio buying advice

    On the E350, you simply lift the carpet in the boot and take out 3 plugs plug them into the new loom and plug the new loom into the control unit, you can then plug a laptop in to program it with the settings you want using their app. Really simple took about 10mins to fit.
