This install is probably the easiest of all the modules we sell (except maybe the traction control memory module).
I'm not much for taking pictures of the disasembly, so I don't have any.
Taking the car apart was easy, I removed one screw from the drivers side lower dash inner bezel. With the screw removed the inner bezel pops out. I then removed the drivers side under dash by simply pulling down on it (its the black piece actually under the dash).
With these two pieces removed I could access the back of the sunroof switch. I reached my hand up and pushed on the back of the sunroof switch and the entire housing popped out. I unplugged the two switches and thats it!
I pulled back on the split loom tubing running up to the sunroof harness to reveal a bundle of wires.

My wiring digram told me:
Black - Ground (KPtech black wire)
Gray/Sky Blue - Sunroof Open (KPtech green wire)
Lt Green/Black - Sunroof Closed (KPtech blue wire)
Green/Orange - Sunroof Vent (KPtech orange wire)
In order for the module to work with the 'Vent' function you have to cut the 'Open' and 'Close' wires and install a diode in each one. This prevents backfeeding of voltages on the 'Open' and 'Close' wires during vent. If you do not want the 'One Touch' feature to work on the vents you do NOT need to cut these two wires. For reference only, the stripe is on the harness side. In the final production version the diodes will be color coded and easy to install, if chosen.
In order to make my connections on each wire I gently stripped about 3/8" of insulation back to expose the copper. I then wrapped the wire from the KPtech module securely around the exposed copper and soldered it with my butane iron.

After my connections were all made and covered with Scotch 33+ electrical tape I stuffed all the wires back in the split loom tubing and retaped the tube.

The final wire (yellow ignition wire) can be found under the dash in a large wire loom. It is Black/Yellow in color and is of a fairly large guage.
This is simply a low current ignition feed to power the module. It may be possible to find this wire elsewhere, such as in the fuse box if one desires. Since I tapped in to the main ignition wire on the vehicle I installed a 3A fuse inline between the Black/Yellow wire and the KPtech yellow wire.

I then stuffed this soldered and taped connection back in the loom and covered it up with electrical tape.

Now, its time to test the module!
I turned the ignition on and pushed the 'open' button twice quickly. The sunroof opened completely! I then pusehd the 'close' button twice, and it closed!
I tested the vent function and it worked perfectly as well!
Please keep in mind that once the sunroof 'One Touch' module has been triggered the only ways to stop it are:
1. Turn the ignition off
2. Press either of the OTHER two sunroof buttons
If you push the same button again it will NOT stop the sunroof from opening.
Never operate the sunroof when anything is obstructing its path of movement (small animals and kids especially).
Never operate the sunroof when the sunroof in not within your view.
Please use this module with respect and common sense!
If there are any questions don't hesitate to ask!
