An excellent piece of kit, very simple to install and functionality very good.
This doesn't diminish the quality of the product, but you should be aware of this when you purchase it!

Plugging the battery in it arrives disconnected is a fiddle as there is barely enough slack cable should really be a single multiplug but youll probably only ever need to do it once
