Anyone fitted one themselves? Easy enough to do?
I use to fit loads when I worked at dealer, there’s nothing two technical just follow the instructions and take your time.
Ideally you want to fit the two cutout switch’s in a concealed place which is hard to get to so be prepared to remove some panels. I use to put one in the ignition circuit and one in the ecu ignition live. They work wirelessly and so dose the key pad so no need to run loads of wires. The key pad needs to be on an ignition live not a permanent one.

As long as your not fitting the switches into a high amperage circuit (below 10A if I remember) there’s no need for the relays. Ideally I’d solder them in also to prevent future problems.

Hopefully that’s a little bit of help?

Ironically I used to take loads off ex hire firms excavators that were going to be farm machines! Most of them key fobs but a couple maybe with key pad. Loads came from a hire firm in Guernsey if I remember correctly. Some were wired with loads of black wires but quite easy to trace to the ignition feed, starter feed and injector pump solenoid! These were stil pre emissioned 4 cyl engines in 2.5- 10 tonne excavators. I kept a few for a bit then decided WTF and chucked them!!!
