Nice job on the install -- very slick inside the storage box! I've been thinking about doing something like this myself, but for some reason I can't get past the little loop of cord to the front-panel AUX input...
I have the 6-disc w/ Sirius, and looking at the pinouts here, there are some labeled "Audio Return" 1-4... I'd *really* like to hard wire the iPod input to the back of the unit and bypass the front input all together. Anyone tried this or have any more thoughts on the issue?

Question is, if you use the audio return, what input do you set the stereo on for your sound?

Right -- I'm not even sure what "audio return" means. One time I rented a Durango that had a little DVD player console thing where the dome light usually is, and it also had a set of A/V RCA plugs in there. It did not have an AUX input on the head unit, so pressing "AUX" just took the input from those RCA plugs. I wonder if this is a similar kind of thing -- I could imaging something like pressing AUX more than once to cycle through the different AUX input sources. Doesn't seem too far fetched...

At $13 + s/h, it's a bit pricey, but I searched around for quite some time and managed to find this 3.5mm right angle cable (1m)
