I installed it. and OMG it's f*king amazing. Everyone who has the regular kit
MUST upgrade because it's so boss.
Procedure (the way I did it at least, couldn't wait for them to release an install video). Sorry I already put everything back together so can't take any pictures. I REALLY recommend having someone help you as feeding wires through the center dash can be difficult. Or use a wire hangar type of thing.
1) take out your head unit, left/right tweeter covers, and the trunk pull button kick panel.
2) feed the umbilical cable through the cavity of your head unit, send the RIGHT cable (believe it is red and black) to the passenger (right side) tweeter/old 3.5" speaker slot. do NOT go under and glove compartment, go through behind the glove compartment so it is the most direct way because you will want as much of the cable on the left side as possible. plug in the (yellow black 2 pin female) cable to the old 3.5" male connector.
3) feed the rest of the cable to the left side of the car, send the LEFT (blue/yellow) part and connect it to the left old 3.5" male connector.
4) feed the main wire to the back of the car toward the factory amp going behind where the kickpanel was so it is hidden. tuck in the wire where your origianl OEM audio+ harness is so it is hidden from view. Take out the left rear seat so you can get the wire under (you do not need to take out the side panel).
5) Disconnect where the old OEM audio+ harness connects (10pin) and plug in the umbilical cable (10pin) to that, the old OEM audio+ harness bypass (10pin female) will not be plugged in to anything.
For this part, I had the 10pin->2pin portion of the umbilical cable going from the factory amp area (where it connects to the factor amp wire) to the area under side panel where it connects to the rest of the wire. I fed the wire under the panel by going under the seat (not how to word it but there is only one way to connect it so it's hard to mess up, sorry if it sounds confusing).
6) zip tie and clean everything up, put everything back in and reconnect your headunit.
7) Play your favorite song with bass and start crying from joy

P.S.: I don't think it is necessary to put back in your old 3.5" speakers as they will not be connected to anything anyways (the connections are bypassed by the umbilical cord). Also saves a pound or so.
EDIT: I completely forgot about installing the 6.5" on the door lol. Just look in the Audio Directory in this subforum and go to Sealing and Deadening the Doors. This will teach you how to install the 6.5s in the door.
