Did the kit not also come with an installation guide?

THANKS, that's perfect. and the remote interacts with the inline RF receiver to turn it on and off. and no, no installation guide...plug (USB) n' play.

You need to heed this: "However you will need a switch to turn it off as I would think it draws power even when the car is turned off." - IT being the USB charger. That would need to be double checked, else it will drain your battery.
