I've installed three of them.  The first two boarrds came with different
thickness of foam pad that are a double sided sticky thing and you put one
under and one on top of the board as I recall.  It is easy to plug in.  Just
remove the cover with the speaker holes in it.  It is easy to see the
connector, near the front of the radio as I recall.  The last one I bought
came with some wierd little plastic clip that I really didn't know what to
do with, no foam pads,  and had no one to read instructions.  I just  took
electrical tape and roled it up sticky side out and made little pads, the
one under the board doesn't have to be all that thick, the top one has to be
so when the cover is put back, it holds the board in place.  Hope that makes
sense.  I don't recall if the speaker has to be removed or not, but I don't
think so.  If it does, it is held in place by the cover, so it is easy to
move if necessary.  Hope that all makes sense.  I didn't find it at all hard
to do, but I'm use to working with such things as I studdied electronics in
1966, so been doing this a long time.  By the way, if you want to open up
the radio for mars or whatever, the jumpers are under the synthesizer board,
so do that mod before installing.
