I didn't see a need to run it into the glove box since I need to be hands on with the iPod to control it. I have the Mopar iPod integration kit in my PT Cruiser with the factory head unit, and THAT controls the iPod via the HU so a glove box mount makes sense there.

My only gripe with the St. Louis is the display being very difficult to read, but that's partly due to my old eyes.
I had a little trouble figuring out how to get the removal tools removed from the stock unit after I removed it. Here's how -- there are two metal tabs that are sticking out on each side of the stock radio. Push them in, and pull out the tool. Or is it, pull them out a little more, and then pull out the tool - I can't remember now - it's been a while! Nothing to it, after you figure it out! Why don't they tell you how to do that too?
