I know there’s plenty of threads that have posted about the RedArc Tow Pro Elite install. I just want to add my two cents yhat theres an easy way to access that left-knee Button Cluster.
Found out by accident that there is no need to remove the whole knee panel which also holds the knee airbag loke what they mostly show on youtube.
All you have to do is pop out one of those blank off button plates, insert your finger and pull and the whole thing comes off easily.
Behind that button cluster panel of course is the factory plug-in connector is located. At least it is for this 2020 LC.
I also just mounted the main Redarc unit on that left-hand kick panel. Just my personal preference preventing spurious emission from other components.
on this MY 2020, if you remove one of the upper left two blank off plates, and just insert your finger inside, and lightly tug out , that whole panel will come off. No need to remove the whole buttome knee panel that holds the knee airbags.
This picture surely looks like the unit is gonna get kicked, but its really well up and tucked to the left in there when oure in sitting/driving position.
This picture is looking inside/behind that left knee switch cluster plate removed. Arrow pointing to the factory receptacle for the trailer brake. It is taped upon a wire bundle and has a cover insert. Able to work everything just thru this hole and from underneath the dash(Did not need to remove the whole knee panel that holds the knee air bag).
