This was the hardest part for me. Initially I wasn’t pushing the credit card hard enough in fear of breaking something......and you won’t. Once you are in it’s a 5 minute job and I am mechanically challenged. Works awesome. I have a 2017 C2S.

Yes Sir! Your correct.

This +1

I can vouch for this too, although I have mine wired for a dash cam. It does differ from a 991.1.

Allright. I was able to wire up everything in the passenger side fuse box and close it up. (Just...it's a very snug fit.) I also wrapped the remaining slack into a piece of cloth to prevent any potential rattle or noise.

It's what you see in the picture. Unfortunately I didn't write down the numbers but looking at my photo it looks like I am using:
-Top row, #7 (this is switched I think)
-Bottom row, #1 (this is continuous)
