Install was easy. 30-45 mins. Pop off plate that holds the fake buttons, replace fake with the spoiler indicator. Remove gauge cluster, tap and run the wires from harness behind cluster to button. Put everything back together. The instructions provided were pretty good, if I remember correctly and the seller was quick to answer any questions I had.

This product is not a function button, you can not raise and lower the spoiler. It just blinks when it is raising and lowering and stays red when the spoiler is completely up.

One thing I do remember. When I installed it, my spoiler only raised 1/4 the way right after install. I don't know if it was because my battery was weak or what. After a quick 15 min drive, everything worked perfect and has been that way every since.

^^, the whole time I thought it was an actual switch. That's quite expensive for an indicator...

i just kind of stood up in the driver's seat with the top down and looked at the back of the car. did the same thing to figure out that it lowers when you get down to about 30 or 35mph.

I thought it was a switch too. Was considering it, but I guess not.

If you just sit up and peak over the back you can see if the stocker is up. Otherwise click on the link for another option.

That's what I did, and I was able to see the spoiler sticking up, smiling at me! I'm a tall person, so a short dude may not be able to raise up that far to see the spoiler.
