I covered the front of the headunit with painter's tape to prevent scratches. That made it a lot easier to work with since I could turn the HU on it's face to access the rear screws.
A 6' mini headphone jack cord was enough to route all the way from the headunit to the center storage console under the armrest.
Following Craig's advice, I applied medical cloth tape to the plastic parts on the center console to minimize rubbing and squeaking.

Ken,
Did you set it up so the iPod is being charged? How did you bring the mini-jack up through the storage console, drill through the bottom of the console?
Thanks,
Francis
