Hey JFox, that is exactly how I did mine as well earlier this year. I myself can also be called one of those who needs to see things done first before being able to do it but I've searched and searched for step by step install instructions here but somehow most of the members who did the DIY seem to miss some small steps.

I kid you not, I've had this auxillary cable in my garage for over 1 1/2 years before I finally got the courage to do it. I gave myself 2 hours since I was going blind in doing it but after I figured out how to take off the darn radio head unit, I was done in 20 minutes. That is where I hit a roadblock the few times I tried doing the install...all the DIY doesn't tell you how to take off the radio unit. If you look at all the write ups, they just tell you to pull the volume knob off and that's it. So finally after tinkering with the knob off, I slipped a small screw driver into the small hole and lifted it up and VOILA...I got it out. After that whole ordeal, everything was a piece of cake.

Good job!
