    If you remove the head unit, there's a relay on the passenger side that supplies the proper pink wire:

    That might be a little easier to get to. I just tap in to it like I would at the switch right?

    To be fair, my warranty was up so I figured I had nothing to lose. If I was still under warranty, I might not do it either. Also harnesses weren't available at the time, so...

    It also helps that electrical stuff and using a meter is pretty easy for me due to my job, not everyone is comfortable with the stuff.

    Yes he is the king. He could make out what I was asking for and pointed me to the right wire both times.

    OP, I have a question. I couldn't find the full install information of the Cool dog gadget. So, my question is: Is the vehicle going to be ON for the system to work?

    Yes, I will turn it on when I get out of the truck and it will be armed. Here is the installation pdf

    If you have any other cool ideas I should do with it let me know. I still have a window down wire free.

    I found an issue. If the vehicle is OFF, there's no juice to the sliding window relays, so providing a ground to the sliding window switch would do nothing.:(
