Lots of threads on this already, but the reason I went with the OEM module (and paid quite a penny for installation/programming) is that it gives you 4 wires already fused and ready to just hook up t lights (no in-line fuse necessary) under the hood, AND....the same 4 wires inside the passenger footwell, with 2 additional ones: Battery/constant on, and Ignition on...meaning 6 wires total inside. So you can wire up a whole slew of lights and accessories both in and out. Plus, you get programming on your Infotainment which lets you choose what you want the electrical system to do when you hit an AUX button and whether you want it to remember the status when you restart the vehicle. The aftermarket options are plentiful and customizable for sure, but with the OEM setup you get great capability in and out of the vehicle. Not an advertisement, just put it in mine and the options for wiring are crazy convenient and the system works great for me. Good luck!Thank you all. I guess I am thinking old school, buy switch, hook to power, and to device, done. Not through Uconnect, so I can have multiple switch functionality. Nice feature, nice kit to, but does seem a little pricy for gaining 4 switches. The plastic piece that goes next to the switch panel they sell separate for only $14. Not sure what else in the kit would cost so much, plus when done you still have to pay the dealership. I do like the clean look though.
Have to do some more research when I get ready. Thanks Again.
