Also, I covered the dash plastic with tape and had a towel over everything low...

Going to have to agree with xxlbeerz here. The only way to efficiently wire the unit up is to 1) have a plan and 2) do as much organization out of the car as possible. the wires for the Metra interface can be made into two nice bundles which will easily tuck behind and under the head unit.

the silver finish is identical to the stock finish and IMHO the metra looks considerably better than the afterthought radio/controls from the factory......

I put the GPS antenna and the Sirus antenna in the left rear quarter trim next to the rear window. I magnet mounted them to the body and reinstalled the trim. Perfect reception.
