I found a small problem with the JDM panel piece which is easily remedied. If you use the hazard button that comes with it you will get an airbag warning light. To fix this simply re-use your stock hazard light and the problem is solved.

Just giving you guys who ordered it a heads up so you don't have to take your dash apart again like I did.

Here are some reference pics:

JDM Hazard button (notice there is no lettering on it)



USDM hazard button (notice there is lettering on it) This is the one you want to use.

To each of their own, but i have yet to see an after market setup that can look as good as the OEM navy system.

Dont quote me on this, but another member said that if you plug the JDM unit in a USDM evo the airbag light comes on.
