As promised this is the detailed review of how to install NickJ's/KB Voodoo's REMOTE START KIT.

U need to remove some panels from the car to gain access to the harnesses.

First is the doorstep panel(just pull it up)

next is the kickpanel(it has 1 plastic 10mm nut that has to be removed).
then just pull the front top or bottom of it to the right.

next is the big cover panel under the steering(3x 10mm bolts as 2 of them can be done with Phillips screwdriver.

next pull down the the bottom of it all the way around to separate the bottom clips. then do the upper left by pulling toward you and last do the upper right side and its free.

disconnect the 3 harnesses from the back of it and u can let it sit on the car floor

the last one is the steering column panel(2 Phillips screws behind the steering wheel) .start the car and turn left and right to access them

and the removal video as somebody ask:

this is the kit that I started with as I believe the KB Voodoo kit comes with 3M wire taps and the wires are loomed in bundles(better looking). as you installing you can reorganize them as you like.

the kit comes with 11 wires coming out of the unit. people with AUTO-lights will use all of them. the ones with NO AUTO-LIGHTS will use 9 (just cover the ends of the 2 auto-lights wires with tape or cap)

these are the car modules behind the cover panel

the first one to start with is the Main Body ECU connector(white)

I soldered the wires, but you guys will probably use the supplied 3M wire taps from the KB Voodoo's kit (the easiest way to do it right are the 3M taps from the kit)
Soldering:

Wire Taps:

All 5 wires tapped(3 if NO AUTO-LIGHTS) to harness. (6 more to go ))))))))

Next is the big black wire below :

I pulled the connector from the cover for easier tapping(It clicks back in)

Next is the push button harness( just 1 wire to tap):

Next is the OBDII connector( push on the left and get it out from the back)
then tap 2 wires in it (u can do it inside the leather looking thing that covers the wires)

2 more wires left)))))

Next is the steering column harness

I routed the wire that goes there in the back and along the oem plastic tube and tap it where the plastic tube meat the rubber tube.

Finally next is the last connection(Ground). you will use the supplied self tapping screw to do it.

And that's it with the wires.))))

this is where I put the unit as Nick suggested(Great spot)

Refer to nick's video to see how to activate unit( its just 2 clicks of the START BUTTON)

I did not point any wire colors but everything is explained PERFECT in the Instructions.

Final NOTE:

as you installing the big panel under steering wheel start from top left then do top right and then bottom clips.

Thank you and I hope this will help most of you.
