So I FINALLY did a DIY and re-installed the MID/OBC inside the glove compartment. I extended the connector using different colors of RCA plugs so that I don't get confused when I reconnect them. I cut them one-by-one and connected them one-by-one as well so that I don't get to short circuit anything (better safe/slow than sorry). Here's the final look of my glove compartment now...

I did the exact same thing about a year ago when I installed my AVIC. 5 wires, nice and easy, and I had to do it anyways to run all my iPod and male/female USB connectors. I even put in a long screw down the side so it snaps into place. It's easier than it looks people, hardest part was removing the glovebox itself.
