Thanks for the write up, it was extremely helpful for installing an ebay kit I got that didn't have instructions provided. This install was much more difficult than I expected - figured the car would be pre-wired for options like this from the factory for ease of manufacturing.

For those considering this upgrade, understand the connectors have pin locks that prevent wires from being pulled out (or pushed in) and you have to unlock the connectors to install the wires. Most of the time this means using a small screwdriver to take a piece of plastic out but on some (the door connectors, for example) you have to push the insert out from the back of the connector. Bottom line - don't try to force any pins.

My car goes in next week for unrelated work, and I hope to have the stuff flashed while it is in there.
