Thank you fellas. I was all pissed off. Installing that JL box is a bitch to say the least. There are 2 carriage bolts that are supposed to go into a couple OEM holes in the rear deck lid. In order to get them in you need to remove the driver 6X9 which requires taking the whole back seat area apart. I ended up using a stepper bit, drilling holes next to the oem ones so I could get a finger in there then used a magnet to work it through the hole. Yeah I am serious its a bltch. LOL So back to my challenge. I ended up looking at the reviews on JL and there was 1. Funny thing the guys tag was "50th" or some shlt so we had the same car. He said he loosened the "ecu" and meant the FP module and it fit. I went ahead and did the same thing and bam good to go. I wish JL would mention this. Odd that my car is different from others. The guy I bought the box from has a 2017 2SS as well. Why the hell would they be different blows my mind. None the less its in and let me tell you. That box bangs. LOL I hope this helps the next guy.
