Well, I finally got around to installing my Eclipse CD7100 headunit. It was previously installed in my old daily driver so it wasn't quite as exciting as the first time I powered it up, but it was nice to plug the iPhone in and listen to some tunes.
I installed the deck in the stock location, and routed my USB, iPod, and auxillary input cables to the glove box. The iPod control box and Sirius Sattelite radio box are installed cleanly in the dash as well (There is a ton of room behind the dash on these trucks!). The Sirius antanae is mounted front and center on the roof of the truck, and the wire routes behind the windshield trim, into the engine compartment and through the firewall on the driver's side inside of a factory grommet. From there, it is strung along the firewall until it reaches the control box behind the dash.
All inputs work properly, the CD player functions and Sirius comes in the same as always. Now all I need is enough money to finish the system...
