The MITO plugs in where the stock Rockford stereo plugged in. You don't have to cut any harnesses. Read the paper that comes with it, or just pull out the stock stereo and look at it. It takes about 2 seconds to figure out. The only thing abstract at all is the wire colors on the MITO for some of the special wires like speed sensor and parking break. The Scosche should have come with a small piece of paper in the box that explains installation. If it didn't come in a Scosche box with that piece of paper, then I'm not sure what to tell you. There are a bunch of "how to install a head unit" howtos on here, just search and you'll find one.
Or just contact Scosche, Im sure they have a tech line for support or can get you instructions.

^^^ Not gonna happen. Get a head unit with Bluetooth built in. The F700 is $400 and has it. Most modern ones do. The Sirius module is behind the glove box and uses a proprietary connector for the stereo (although when I looked at it, you may be able to get the factory Sirius antenna to work). Pioneer uses IPBus for it's accessories (like XM, Sirius, HD Radio, etc.). The Mitsu unit is definitely something else.

You cannot do anything from the display exept dial numbers. All setup/pairing/name entry/etc, is done though voice prompts. The car has to be in park/neutral and then you press the talk button on the stering wheel. The car will ask you questions and tell you your options.

P.S. The screen only shows the number that is calling you. There is no way to make it show a name.
