They must have radically changed the wiring and alarm systems in the '08 model year... all I do with my '07 is remove the battery hold down, then the positive post wires, then the negative posts wires, then pull the battery out. Don't need to turn the ignition on or have the key fob with me or remove any fuses and have never had any issues with the factory alarm when removing or installing.
We just did the job (after repeated delays in scheduling)... it turns out you don't need to remove the maxi-fuse - just turn on the ignition with the fob nearby and then disconnect the battery. However, the top caddy covering the battery and the solenoid assembly that was on top of the caddy was very hard to remove/get out of the way. The instruction manual wasn't very clear. It took us probably an hour to do it. However, now that the guy has experience removing the battery, it should take 30 minutes max the next time (hopefully).
