Helpful Expert Reply:
According to my contact at Curt the battery in the trunk of your 2014 Chevy Malibu is for running the hybrid portion of the vehicle and should not have any circuits attached to it, whereas the battery under the hood of vehicle is charged by the alternator which would work well.
I attached an install video for this harness for you to check out as well.
