Thanks friends! Tubi sent me instructions. You were right Rob- just tap into a12v switchable dude (there are three empty ones in the trunk). Find some clues as to where to run the the valve cables, install ExCU, and should be good! Did NOT need to remove the bumper, but I did give a deep clean ????. Up at 530 am and waiting for the local parts store to open. Hoping to get videos, pics etc. Up later today.
From a control perspective, there is the remote and an iOS app to further customize the sound!

Awesome news [MENTION=805]DSpec1[/MENTION]
Can't wait to see the finished product [clap]

Do you know if there is an Android version of the Tubi app?

Little hiccup-had to order a Micro2 fuse tap on Amazon. Now I need to wait until Wednesday to finish.???? no Micro2 taps close to where I live ( a major Canadian city).

Interesting. Any reason why it had to be a micro2 fuse and not a regular fuse holder?

Oh I get it, you are trying to tap into the factory fuse box for the 12v switchable input.

Yes, they are the same.

There are drain plugs on the trunk, that are covered by rubber seals. You should be able to remove those and run the cable through those holes. Then you will need to cut the rubber to fit the cables and put it back.

Dont drill holes.
I have had a look at the install instructions of Kia bimodal and it looks like they run the wires behind the right tail light.
Removing it and there should be rubber that you can push the wire through.

The install pdf is on facebook if you are after it.

Looks like the wires run exactly where I ran mine first?then I tried the drain plugs?both too short. I need a longer wiring loom. ????

Wow. I spoke to Tubi this morning-they called me. A tech is going to provide live support to install today, very good customer service despite language and location barriers. (Really nice folks there!)

Glad to hear they are now responding.
Keep us posted with the progress. Also let us know what indication and recommendation they give for the installation of the valves ecu.

Okay everything is installed and the valves work. I have one issue: does anyone know of a switchable power source in the trunk fuse box?? I used a fuse tap into the AMP temporarily and now have no music! Help?
