Ok, I'm done! I never did find the cd changer bundle in the console, so I took the "easy" way out. I plugged it into the connectors in the rear. I'm assuming they are the Sirius connectors. Then, as you mentioned, I had functionality with no sound. To continue with the "easy" way, I removed the head unit (MID?) from the dash, and swapped the cables - plugging in the satellite connector. Ran the cable from the back to the front (using my recently acquired skills at seat/trim removal!), reinstalled everything, and voila! We done got sound!

Currently, the cable comes out under the driver's seat, and runs up between it and the center console. When I get the urge, I'll do an install of it like yours into the center console itslef.

Thanks for the help! I ended up not doing it quite the same way, but it worked, and I was glad for the advice!
