Or goes on the lighter opening? What comes in the box?
This module plugs into the CD-changer port on the back of the radio. The installation is actually quite simple. You remove the radio by simply inserting the radio removal tools into the two slots in the bottom corners of the radio and pulling on them after they latch. You then run the cable that connects to the iPod/iPhone between the carpet and the bottom portion of the center console. After you have that cable routed, you connect the other cable coming out of the module into the CD-changer port above the main wiring harness on the back of the radio. Don't worry as you cannot plug it into the radio incorrectly. After this, you remove the radio removal tools, situate all the wiring behind the radio and reinsert the radio into the dash. On a scale of 1-10 for being easy, it's a 1. It will be completely plug and play and will probably only take you 10 minutes for the install.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you
