Thanks guys. The basic idea was pretty simple, but making it work the way I wanted it to using some of the factory parts took a little trial and error. Now that it's all figured out it would be cake to do again. I just wired up the radio back light today so I went outside a few minutes ago to check it out after sun down and it looks great
I think I'll move the Omnifi face-plate somewhere else in the future and put the ashtray back, but for now this works.
You could run a stand-alone CD changer or HD-Radio unit this way too.
