Video, what video?

My unit has been shipped and I'd love to watch the video before I do the installation. Would you please post a link to it?

Thanks in advance,
Michael
Not aware of any video. Here are links to installation pics and operating instructions:

Thank you, Ron F. I was looking for the video that Lykris, the OP, said was helpful to watch before you install. I've read the written instructions and they seem straightfoward. (I wish I could get them to print so I'd have them in hand when I do the install. I asked the folks at Area 451 about that and about a pdf. This is the response:

"Hi. You aren't the first to request a PDF version, and you certainly won't be the last. I've been meaning to do it but just have been so busy. I'll try to get to that soon."

I offered to make a pdf for them if they would email me the file. So far, no response but it is 3 hours earlier out there.

Thank you. I just got a message that Area451 is going to try and post a pdf of them today or tomorrow. If they don't get around to it, I'll try your method.

Guys... I know Baby Benz personally... It was a joke... calm down... take a zanex or something... man this forum is uptight.

I would love to buy it... got my email last Thursday... just can't justify it right now financially...


Oh and Fed??? It's the name of his car ... Just like mine is named Serendipity... and countless others have named their cars...

Wdhitch, glad you personally know Baby Benz...I guess that with the posting, it just didn't come across as a joke. I didn't mean to sound "uptight" but at times, somethings just rub the wrong way...hope you understand? and besides, zanex wouldn't help as that I wouldn't be taking it.
Fredvon, 95% of Americans can't be right...there aren't that many smart cars out there yet and with all the attention this car draws, I wouldn't be picking my nose...heck, I'd be on someone's cell phone camera! LOL

No worries... I'm alittle uptight too sometimes... especially when i can't find $400 to spend on the one thing I want most for my car...
