Soft close sliding door retrofit

[borat]

Is this an easy job? DIY or does it need coding? For those that have it - any issues or regrets? I am trying to engineer out all of the annoying things from current van in the new build and having to slam the sliding door in the middle of the night is definitely one of them!

Its a DIY job, not too tricky. @Pauly sold me the kit.

Is there coding required? Watching a video online I got impression there was. @Pauly how much are the kits?

Thread 'Power Latching Retrofit Kits'

7 Feb 2017

Following a couple weeks of trying out and testing we are now ready to release the retrofit power latching kits for tailgates and sliding side doors.
The kits are supplied with a custom wiring loom and all required parts to complete the job, the install is relatively straight forward and can easily be completed by a single person.
A 12 volt positive supply is required (negative connections are provided) in the rear of the vehicle to power the control modules that activate the power latching and a cable is provided for this for the installer to take to a place of their choosing.
Each kit...

No coding. Running a 12v perm from wherever (mine was starter battery, through firewall, under cab flooring then up thru C pillar and through to the back) to the new motor is the tickiest part and absolutley no regrets here. First time close every time.
