Well, I couldn't wait. The weather was really nice today, so in spite of the fact that I couldn't get into the passenger side door, I went ahead and installed the Dynavin in the dash and ran the Fakra and radio antenna extension cables from the head unit, down to the floor and over the back seat and into the rear. I temporarily stuck the GPS antenna onto the steel bracing behind the head unit (it works there!), and put the Bluetooth mic on the console ashtray. It's a jury rig, but it'll allow me to get familiar with the Dynavin while I'm waiting on a part to come into the dealer, as well as allow me time to plan my permanent installation.

I didn't get too much time to play with it after I got everything hooked up, but I'm VERY pleased with it. I popped a Don Henley Live Inside Job DVD into the player and the sound is MUCH better, and I'm just running through the factory DSP amp right now. It's obvious that the Dynavin's electronics are superior to the factory setup! I'll be replacing the stock DSP amp with a miniDSP and Soundstream amplifiers, and adding a 10" subwoofer in place of the stock sub, so expect that I'll be very pleased when it's all done.
