It's the neat part that takes all the time. Unused wires wrapped in electrical tape and then zip-tied so the tape won't peel. Clusters held together throughout the run with zip ties. I'm a little OCD when it comes to wiring. Hope the installation goes as well tomorrow. Haha.

Thanks again, immortal, your help is really appreciated. It wasn't as different from old school as I thought it was going to be. Thanks to the PAC unit doing all the CABUS stuff.

Finally done. The HU came with two different sets of screws for attaching to the dash kit. At first I installed the machine screws which made the sides sit perfect with the HU. However, I couldn't fit the unit in as the screws were hitting the sides of the dash. I switched to the flat head tapered screws and they make the sides distort as you tighten them but then it easily fits by the dash. If I was to do it over again I would trim the dash cutout a little to let the machine screws fit. But overall, I'm happy with it.

Looks really good, to me.

And here's where I cut the stock bracket thanks to Immortal.



Also found a mystery connector. May be power windows.
