Leadfoot, this is a great set of instructions. Thanks for all the info that must have taken you a lot of time to collect!
After my dealer parts guy warned me that the parts would not fit, since this was an American JSW and the dealer service guy gave me the whole liability with non-approved accessories spiel, I just pulled the trigger today: ordered the towbar at PF Jones, a list of parts (easy to find with your #s) at ECS Tuning and the electrical hookup (Curt) from eTrailer.
I will keep my flat connector in the back of my car. Had it there on other cars too. It keeps the connector nice and dry and the cable on my trailer is long enough to pull into the hatch on my JSW. You just need to keep it off the exact center, so that it does not get into the lock.
Will let you know how it all goes!
