Thank You very much guys. I actually relocated the Climate control last night. It wasnt all that bad. I just had to cut the bracket so the Cables could reach the Climate Box. Now Im a little stuck on Wiring the thing. I hate wires to begin with. The Unit came with XM Radio & the iPod box with cable.

Is it Possible to fit all that in there?

Or should i put it behind the glove box somewhere?

The stock White harness, How does that wire to the colored Harness that came with unit?

Sorry for all the questions but I want to get this done!

The only minor obstical I ran into was that I had to cut a little metal off the subframe to make the climate control fit perfectly.

Yea. I did that last night. Now (since I suck at wiring) i have no clue how to wire it.. I did a radio before on my car but every wire was color coded this is all white.
