Hope I'm not to late...

You'll need the button (located in the glove box) with some of the wire (2 skinny wires) on it and the trunk lid lock with wire (2 thick wires)...

Basically you hook 1 of the buttom wire to a inline fuse and that to a 12v source, then the other wire should be attached some new wire and run that all the way to the 1 of the trunk lid lock wire and then ground the other one...

It worked for me like that.. but just be carefully and try to on a battery before hooking it to the harness..

Has anyone installed this kit or anything like it?
Any advice on how to attach it. Id like to install it maybe tomorrow.

Something like that should come with instructions. Should be very simple.

That looks like a pretty big solenoid.

Now that's slick. What does the hole look like in the glove box? I didn't even know I had a button in there until about a month ago...
