Alright well it's done! Took the truck in on Sat and spend most of the day trying to learn as much as I could about the installation process. Needless to say, much more involved than I thought and I won't be doing one any time soon. The amount of crap that had to be removed from the truck was amazing!
I had the Pioneer AVIC X930BT installed (blue tooth, NAVI, etc etc) and also decided to buy a backup camera (went with the Crimestopper SV5420IR licence plate camera with uv LEDs for night vision). I'll post more on another thread about all this stuff, but the point of my post here is to show how we managed to elimiinate the "wire" required by Pioneer to play music via iphone / ipod.
What we ended up doing is dropping the cord down the panel behind the HU, and up out a little hole in the storage box right under the dash in front of the cup holders. We then hot glues the interior base of the hole to keep the wire in place. Here are the pics in order (kinda) ( I don't know why the last two ar upside down...they don't appear like that on my system). Anyway the end result is I get in the truck, plug the ipod / iphone into the little black plug sticking out of the compartment, and off i go. Once it's in it looks completely wireless. (=
