Step 1: Pull off bezel around radio and climate control. To do this, push both A/C vents so they are facing down. Now you can get your fingers below the vent to pry the upper portion of the bezel. Work your way down to unhook the next 2 clips on each side. Finally the bottom clips will pop, partially releasing the ash tray. Leave the bezel and ash tray loosely in place for now.
Step 2: Pull out the shifter tray. Insert finger in hole on side of bezel(in the tray area) and pull up on bezel to pop the snaps. Do not pull up on the front of the bezel, as it is still held in place by two screws near the ash tray.
Step 3: Remove the cover in front of the ashtray. This simply pulls up. Underneath are two phillips head screws to remove.
Step 4: Disconnect the wire to the radio bezel and set the bezel aside. Don't just pull on the connector; there is a releas tab that needs to be depressed to free the connector! Pull the ash tray out. Remove the wiring to the cigar lighter, and seat heat switches, if equipped.
Step 5: Gain access to the DSS module wire: in the harness to the right of the shifter, there will be a violet wire with a light blue stripe (In some vehicles there are two bundles: one with about 20 wires, another with 4 wires. If you have two bundles, the wire you will cut is in the smaller bundle.) This wire needs to be cut and connected to the wires on the NO-ESP board. The power wire (red) from the NO-ESP board gets connected to the portion of the cut DSS wire that is towards the FRONT of the car. The DSS wire from the NO-ESP board (yellow) gets connected to the DSS wire that runs towards the REAR of the car. Make sure to cut the violet wire with the LIGHT blue stripe, not the one with the dark blue stripe. It is not that easy to tell them apart. If you do connect to the wrong wire, it will not damage the vehicle, but the mod will not engage (I made this mistake on my own car).
Step 6: Using the wire taps provided, tap into the following wires that are in the harness that leads to the ESP button: Ground (black or grey) from the NO-ESP board taps into the (black/light green stripe) wire. The ESP (green) wire taps into the (dark green/white stripe) wire.
Step 7: Cover the NO-ESP board with electrical tape, heat shrink tubing, or other appropriate methods to ensure that no electrical connections make contact with any of the car's metal.
Step 8: Tuck the mod behind the climate control area, and reassemble the cigar lighter, radio bezel, and shifter bezel. Be sure to plug all of the connectors back in!
Step 9: Test it out: Press the ESP buton once, and it operates like normal: "Mr Squiggles" lights up, and the ESP runs at about 50%. Press the button and hold it down for 5 seconds. You will hear a relay click (on the NOESP board), a chime, and the ESP and BAS idiot lights will light up, indicating that ESP is fully disabled. To re-enabe ESP, the car simply needs to be shut off and restarted.
