Default X-Type Homelink Conversion - Need Wiring Help

I know there are lots of threads out there about how to do this. None of the ones I found show the wiring modification. I have a donor overhead console with light switches, Sun Roof Switch, and Homelink. My 2003 X-type Automatic has two connectors, three wires for the lights and a larger modular connector for the sun roof switch. The donor console has the single multi-pin connect (lights sunroof switch, homelink). I have the pigtail ready to wire it in. Anyone know how to tie this in? Also have a 2003 X-Type Manual that only has the lights switches (no sunroof). Have a donor console for that one as well. It only has the three wire connector for lights.

I have the 2005 X-Type electrical guide, but it only shows wiring for the overhead lights. My best guess is Battery for the homelink and lights, ground for homelink and lights, switched interior, 2 wire for sunroof open, 2 wire for sunroof close. Not rocket science, but which 9 wire... Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, the "manual" has 200000+ miles on it and is still a daily driver. Am driving it 200 miles to SF on Sunday to catch a flight. Just changing the struts and shocks to improve the ride. I have been using ebay and trips to the u-pick wrecking yard to keep it cosmetically looking new.
I just purchased the 2003 X-type automatic. It has 83000 and is immaculate. It is my wife's daily driver. Our 2010 Prius just died with 198000 from a total engine failure. It is almost comical a 15 year old X-type is still going strong. Bought a new XE Prestige AWD Diesel to replace the Prius and will never look back. The XE is approaching my son's SL500 for mountain road drive enjoyment. The car has shown us it is more capable than either of our skill levels.

You still can't beat the X-types for their "light on their feet" and "nimble" response.

If you have the electrical diagrams for 2005, the Homelink wiring is on Fig 19.1 and the sunroof is on Fig 14.2

Thanks, I traveling this week and will look at it again when I get home. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Just drove a new, rented mid size Japanese/Italian/American car 200 miles to SF. It make me realize how much better the Jags handle, even with high miles, and why I expend the effort to keep the X-types in excellent condition and on the road.

Aah, you caught me. My fingers don't always type things correctly!

It should have been Japanese/FRENCH/American

Nissan Altima

Japanese Brand - Datsun then Nissan
French - Renault owns Nissan
American - Altima is made in Tenn and Miss plants

Japanese/FrenchItalian/American.

Ok, I found a 20+ console plug pigtail on a donor X-type and have successfully installed the Homelink upgrade in my 2003 X-type for my wife. I have the second overhead console for my own 2003 X-Type and want to install it as well. My is the base model with 2.5 and 5 speed manual transmission. I am not finding another 20+pin pigtail and was hoping someone might know where I can get one. I would try to wire wrap the pins and solder them, but my hands are not that steady anymore.
