Default Trying to install an AOI Electrical air bag switch. Anybody ever done this?

I have got to install an air bag switch in my '99 coupe, because I now have a daughter and she will be riding with me from time to time. I bought the switch from AOI about a week ago, and just now got around to putting it in.

When I talked to the guy on the phone, he said that mine was one of the easier ones as far as a corvette install. It is all plug-and-play, which is something I would much rather have as opposed to cutting wires do to the un-nerving thought of messing with the airbag system in the first place...

Here are some pics.

Here is the yellow plug I found that looks something like the ones that came attached to my switch.

That yellow plug is the plug that connects to the passenger side air bag. Simple enough. All I had to do was disconnect the neg. on the battery of course to start with. Then, I unplugged this plug, and the two ends on the switch itself plugged into those ends. The switch also has a 12v+ and a gound wire also, so I tied those in down near the fuse panel. Put everyhting back together and the install is done
