You do not need brake cables. You just need a threaded rod and some coupling nuts to extend your current brake set up. It is MUCH easier this way.I install the SC console to my 2007 E. I found it on Ebay with the oem subwofer. The only thing is that the brake cables have to be exchange too. I buy the SC brakes cables (on the web below) and install everything, it works great and look much better. Also paint over the blackpiano trim to match the gray interiors. The only thing I did not found is the wire cables to connect the MP3/auxiliary input jack and 12-volt power outlet that are inside the console. http://bkhondaparts.com
