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.

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.
