Oh hell. This is too much electrical for me :( I'm scared to death of electrical work, so I guess this is something I am going to have to get someone to do for me - this is where I tap out lol I thought it would be easier than that *sigh* Well, maybe I can get it done next weekend. :)

If you have a 2010, then it won't fit, due to the antenna coil for the transponder key.

Bring it down here and I'll hook it up for you if there's not someone closer.

Yeahhhh I see what you're saying, even with modification, it doesn't look like there is enough clearance for it. I guess this just sucks :(
Just to say I at least tried, I am going to go out and make sure that's the case. But since it's coming from you and you're 90% sure; I am already 99.9% I can trust that it won't fit LOL

It's actually on the last two pages of the DIY that Laz posted the link to; it doesn't fit. That sucks. I'm gonna ask Garm to put that up on the page so that no one else with the engine immobilizer buys it; it's only $39 - but that is almost 1/2 of what the foglights are, so I could have bought the foglights instead :P

Alright, so Scott said the difference between the ignitions was about 1mm - so I ran out, took the steering over off and tried it out; it didn't work. It is too small. *BUT*, do you think it's possible to snap off the piece surrounding the ignition and mount it somewhere else in the steering area and still have it work? Or does it *have* to be around the ignition itself for it to work as designed? I'm not sure really how that whole thing works, so it's a shot in the dark - but I figured I'd throw it out there.
Here's pictures of what it looks like:
