My favourite. Cut OEM wire, wire to be joined, strip 10mm (c. 3/8) an inch back solder one side of cut wire to the stripped portion, heat shrink then slide a fresh piece of heat shrink over then butt joint soldered to other end of cut OEM wire and last slide and heat the heat shrink over that last joint.
I think I used that method when I botched one of my early installs. I used a low wattage soldering iron on a 12ga ignition wire. I melted the insulation before I could manage to flow the solder. Long story sort, I ended up replacing a section of the ignition harness by using this method.

I like the Compustar to beep the horn on the second lock press.  I usually end up using the Compustar remote

all the time and like that audible feedback ( especially for a PitStop ).

Here is the info on the Trunk Release fro Audiovox :

Trunk Release  GREEN  (+)  @ MICU MODULE AT REAR OF INTERIOR FUSE BOX, UNDER DRIVERS SIDE OF DASH
Be real careful when probing for this wire.  Try to get a better location ( Plug & Pin ) and only use a DMM.  Honda's
have been known to have a major BCM failure when testing for this wire ( usually in Accord's ).

Soldering is fun!

That's scary! Maybe I'll leave well enough alone and not mess with it. :-)

FWIW, I came across Kenny's write-up for the '07. That should help somewhat. Might not be 100% dead-on with the 2012, but it should be similar.

Yes, Kenny has a nice photo of the (+) Trunk Release wire.  As you can see, there are several green wires in that bundle.  The correct one is slightly paler green and has two silver hash marks on it.  Of course the 2007 is an 8th gen and your 2012 is a 9th gen model, so it might look different.

I have to admit that getting to wires on that box on gen 7/8/9 are all PITA.
