Activate OEM foglights - no MUT-III

Activate OEM foglights - no MUT-III
I have a 2007 Outlander LS that came without the factory fog lights. I've found an OEM set online and installed everything that came with the kit (lights/harness/relay/replacement stalkswitch). The new stalk switch with foglight switch operates all original light/indicator functions, but not the foglights yet.
In the included manual, there's a non-MUT-III scan-tool procedure to update the ECU, but so far, I haven't been able to get it to work. Maybe there's a trick to it?
Here's the procedure:
-Close all doors, insert key in ignition and turn to OFF, wait 5+seconds
-buckle drivers seat belt and passengers seat belt.
-turn key to ON, and within 10 seconds, open and close door 5 times
-turn foglight switch to ON position, and a buzzer should sound. (but it hasn't for me yet)
-once buzzer sounds, turn foglight switch to on and hold for 3 seconds, wait for buzzer to sound again and foglights will have been enabled. If buzzer sounds twice, foglights have been disabled.
Now, my question.
- Is there a trick to this?
- OFF is the default key position when first inserted, should I first turn to ACC/ON, then OFF? before beginning?
- Do I need to pull the NEG terminal on the battery between attempts to clear the ECU of instructions?
- foglights only light while driving lights are on (not headlights), should I switch driving lights on before these steps?
- could it be that the instructions are only suited to later model years, and 2007 has a different procedure? The kit is MZ380376EX
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
