alright, just got done with that two day excercise. There is enough room to run it down the door, through the glove box, and behind the radio. I have the dice mounted underneath the radio area where my feet are (between the drivers / passenger side).

The ipod cable comes up through the ashtray and the ipod just sits in there. theres enough cable to handle the ipod if need be.

I also purchased a panavise mount for my Audiovox PNP3 Sirius Satellite Radio. The display is red so it matches the interior nicely. I just couldn't bring myself to spend 800 on a sirius oem upgrade, so I have something sticking out the dash now that doesn't look horrible.

I was getting engine whine when selecting Aux-1 from the dice (the sirius radio) but put a inline 3.5mm stereo jack ground loop isolater on which seems to take care of the trick.

I'll post pics shortly.
