Install including speakers took about an hour with testing wire color codes, splicing the wires and physically installing the parts. It was super easy and worth the savings for me.

The M8540 may use a different connector, but I doubt it. The websites which sell the connectors make you believe the connectors for the 8540/9540 is different from the 6040/7040 and still yet different from the RTV. In my case I bought the RTV 9 pin conector figuring I would only be out $10 if it didnt work. Worked like a charm!
