IB = Instruction Book or in this case, Installation Book.

There are 10 or more wires and a less then great schematic, a bag of parts with only 40-50 percent of them identified, twelve DIP switches with 4-5 of them a guess as to which way they are to be set. Then to top it off, the operating cable is a set length (too long) so I had to buy a $70 Lokar(out of stock everywhere) that could be shortened - and that cable had no information as to how to shorten either so a phone call to Lokar. Then to make life even more fun the Dakota Digital IB differed from the on-line Summit version and they both differed from the manufacturer's on-line version. Then of course, since the car had already been finish wired, many, many of those nice cable ties - they had to be cut which I then did again for the stereo installation. I think this car has probably kept the cable tie industry alive this past year

Of course, this is no big deal as building a car from the ground up has to be a challenge and a time eater. Those without patience need not apply if they want to do this kind of project
