Look in the groupbuy threads or the DIY . There is tons of stuff on the first page in both areas
Tools needed
Metric Hex key set ( #6 I think)
Razor blade or knife ( enlarge hole in carpet behind pedal assyb.)
Flat head screw driver or Kife from above ( to pry a Hex hed cap off)
20 mins tops
match the # up on the connectors right the first time and pull apart gently and straight out, not at an angle ( keep pins from getting bent).

the plug only goes in one way.you can actually tuck the excess harnes or wires on the side of the pedal assembly.at first I was scared of it coming out but once its tucked in there its all good.I was too lazy to cut carpet.lol

nelson it will take you 5 mins to put this in. remove pedal unplug factory harness plug in booster, put the pedal back and go drive. It is really that simple.

Yes quite easy to install and not even needed to cut the carpet I think.
Installed it last night in the dark, in 10 minutes, I am not so technical
But it's quite easy, just make sure that you hear a *click* if you attach the cables on both sides and you won't get any Idrive error. Haven't fully tested it, but the pedal is more sensitive. However I am thinking of resetting it, maybe that leads to a smoother transaction.
