In order to pull the rear part of the wall carpet up, I have to pull the wheel well carpet up. In order to get that up, do I have to pull the side liner out [a little]?

I'm going to try to tackle this tomorrow, so I'm just getting the best idea that I can before I jump in...

I didn't want to get into the trim right away so I put all the wires in a conduit and ran them up the crease of the wall and back down the other side... No very elegant. I think when I get done planning out the latest activity, I will crack into the trim (you are correct) and properly conceal the wiring.

The head unit takes graphics through a program that Pioneer supplies for free. Create your graphics using the tool, burn them to a CD and then feed the CD to the head unit. It's pretty neat. You can put anything there and it looks best if you scale the graphic to the proportion of what's displayed because otherwise it stretches it to fit...

I have read recently that there's a path for wiring that runs under the passenger seat and can be brought over on the passenger side. I will research that when I get ready to clean up my wiring and investigate that. I may also pop the console (which requires removing most of the panels on the fascia) and get that cleaned up too.

Right now you can't really see the wires unless you flip one of the seats forward but it would be nice to completely hide it...
