Are the coding options in iBus for things like fog lights as cornering lights and turn signal changes pretty obvious in the app? I haven't seen a thread devoted to programming options but I probably missed it.
I was planning to run one of the USB cables into the glovebox for easy access and the other behind the climate controls for CarPlay access through the ash tray. Other suggestions for USB cable routing?

Everything is pretty straight forward to install but I am not sure what you currently have (factory nav, DSP, etc.) and will define your installation.
One of your USB cables will go to the iBus adapter so I would select the shortest one for it and route the other 2 to your glove box area so you can easily access them later. You can load apps via WiFi, any USB or the microSD slot in the front of the unit. Once you have apps loaded, any updates like the iBus app, AutoPlay (CarPlay/AA) and camera software are done online via WiFi internet connection.
As far as iBus app features like cornering lights, triple blink, DRL, etc. are easy to understand but if you need assistance, we are all right here to help. I am in Lake Norman and would be happy to lend a hand if you need help. PM me and I'll give you my phone number, I can provide a experienced lifeline if needed.
