I installed mine the other year, and I have to say it's been one of my favorite mods! Coding is required though. I assume you had to as well using winkfp or did you use something else?

The plugs have changed but you can reuse the plug from the old menu button. I wouldn't advice cutting in-situ too many things can do wrong.
