Media Control Unit - Remove And Install: Installation

Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except for the following:

CAUTION: Identify an MCU with LTE modem. Look for ALS3-E or ALS3-US in cell_model, this can be read without removing the MCU.
CAUTION: Do not install used MCUs that have not been remanufactured for diagnostic purposes. Installing a used, non-remanufactured MCU might result in corrupted odometer readings.
CAUTION: North American vehicles with LTE:  Put on an ESD wrist strap and connect it to chassis ground before connecting the electrical connectors to the rear of the MCU. Do not remove the ESD wrist strap until the screws (x4) that secure the MCU to the IP carrier have been installed.
