Can anyone answer my question.... Would it be expensive to have a car audio shop do this install for me? I'm sure I could handle it but I'm scared I would mess something up.

jase -- I would say go for it. Wiring cars is not that hard, especially if you have all of the right wires identified. Get yourself a good multimeter so you can figure out which wires are for what purpose. They are cheap (around $20) and very useful to have. However fishing the wires through the door hinge into the driver's footwell can be a PITA, so start with the windows and add sunroof later if you feel up to it. For an audio shop to do it I would assume they would charge you for about 2-3 hours of labor. The hardest part for me was figuring out the wiring to do which is already documented for you.

Robbz - Thanks for the response! I'll start the process then!

The sunroof will stop on it's own, I've tested with my hand. But I sure as hell wouldn't stick my neck in it.

I don't know much about wiring and with out starting the process i couldn't figure it out. In order to get the full effect (press unlock 3 times for down and lock 2 time for up, both windows and sunroof) I need 1 530t and 2 TR7s? I want to order the parts before I start, thanks

yes that is is exactly. However I know they have a new version of the TR-7. You should make sure that the wiring and programming are the same as the ones I put up here.
