the only thing you might have an issue with is airbag lights, both the one on the ctr console as well as the dash. if you disconnect the battery/dont start the car while everything is unhooked, you may be ok. esp for the dash light. however, i know a few folks who ran into issues with the console light (like me). after install mine stayed on due to the AWS so i had to disable it with a durametric. it seems sometimes an AWS recalibration is needed after an install but i dont feel like paying a dealer $150+ to do it. i already had the front seat latch kit with key activated airbag shut off installed so i dont really need AWS - i can just switch the airbag off when i need to.

good luck
