Yes, when you pull that top trim piece off, you will see all the wires leading to the mirror. You may have to peel back some if the black wire loom to expose the wires. Then I just used T taps.

My SPOD also powers lights on the bumper, windshield lights and my radar detector has a spot on it. I also have open spots for CB (installing next weekend I think) and rear lights (waiting for the bracket). That fills it out and I don't need to add anything else to it. If I ever run out of space, I'll consider moving it. I don't mind it's always hot as it's not obvious (the switch is "Landing Lights" from OTRATTW) and I like being able to open my garage when I need to from the truck on or off.

This is a great mod. I'm developing a kit that will include the new trim and use more rugged buttons....
The wiring list above is correct. No need to use an spod for this.

I did it out of want, not need. I know there's no need - I didn't want another "thing" in my Jeep. This is all hidden which I like. Not for everyone.

I don't know the answer to your question. But what I can add is that I added Homelink to my 2013 JKU Sahara. I bought a unit off ebay, programmed one of the buttons to my garage door. I then broke out the soldering iron and forced the switch to always be on. Then I wired it to a spare switch on my SPOD, waterproofed it and put it under the hood. Now I have Homelink from my SPOD.

Here is another option -

I am actually doing this right now as I took my rollbar padding off and now have no place to hide my garage door remote. Bought 5 mini buttons on ebay for $5 and going to mount two of them on my a-pillar with the unit hid just inside the side of the dash.
