I zoom therefore I am.
It was a bloodless install. I can take that console out in my sleep, just printed out the one picture that shows tapping the red wire and connecting to the point of the blue wire.
It's very nice to just push the button once, pull the e brake, grab my phone and shut off the car.

Very nice, I purchased the DEI 530T so that I can make the windows one touch and controlled with the alarm.
So when I install this sunroof mod, can it take a trigger from an alarm to close it?
Making it a true one touch for the car by locking and all the windows and sunroof close.
Or open in the summer to let the hot air out.

4 Years... Can you make a DIY thread when you finish this? Thanks.
Rotary Rasp... This GB for the sundroof module isn't ending soon is it? If so, I need to buy one. Otherwise I am probably going to wait a little longer before buying it.

The Green / yellow is the one in the opposite corner of the clip as the correct pink / black. I clipped the tape that had it held together, makes it much easier.
I didn't check to see what the other pink / black wire is for.

I will if needed but I think Rotary Rasp did a good job in the first post showing where the connections are for this one touch module.
The one thing he may have missed is where to press the clips on the map light assembly to release next to the lights.
I did it last night to hard wire my Valentine One. It is about an inch in from the back of the car on the sides of the map light assembly.
Go in a little bit horizontally with the screwdriver and then move the screwdriver tip toward the ceiling about a fourth of an inch. Then push the clip in toward the map light assembly while pulling down on the back of the assembly. Do one corner and then you should be able to shimmy the other corner out.
I think there may be directions in the manual as well but I don't remember them being as helpful... if you can make heads or tails of my long winded descriptive description.
There is a DIY on how to remove the map light assembly.

I had to play golf in the golf league today after work, got home after dark, ate, and need a shower. I'll do it tomorrow......I don't think the sunroof is going anywhere!
