You'll have to fit a couple of looms to get everything working properly. If there's already a 6 button obc fitted it'll make things a bit easier.

It's a bit fiddly. You'll have to remove the dash clocks and heater/radio panel. If I can do it anyone can though.

You'll need 2 looms. One for the unit/clocks and another for the outside temperature sensor.
