Got the double-DIN installed last night, which required some epic cutting of the lower brace, much more than flash's version, as I wanted to retain the DIN insert that came with my stereo. That insert didn't survive unmolested either, as I removed a good portion of the bottom panel of it, and a bit of the side panels on the lower rear of them. I found at least one connector in there that was not connected to anything - it was rounded on all edges and had only two positions, and they were for quite large round pins, the wiring going to it was quite beefy, I need to get the unit out and get a picture and the colors of the wires so I can look it up.
Now I need to figure out where to route the GPS wire, the iPod wiring, the Bluetooth microphone, and the USB cable for GPS/firmware updates... For now I'm considering putting them into the glovebox, although running them beneath the carpet and into the otherwise useless armrest area is tempting while I have the console apart.
Any suggestions on what to do to route the GPS and microphone especially, and keep them hidden?
