I have no dog in the fight, just not seeing how it's cheaper to buy it new, than at a discounted price.
Well, did some serious research, talked to a couple guys...that kit he has wouldn't work for mine, and his pricing is rather high.

Long story short - the wiring harness is pinned to your VIN, so it won't just work w/ any vehicle. That aside, it's a 2009 kit, I need something for a 2012-2018...lot of little things you don't think of w/ the wiring changes, etc.

So, I'm still learning, digging, finding out what this will all entail if I actually pull the trigger.

thanks for sharing the link tho
