I did mine this way, too. The little cig snuffer cone pops out and the aux ID plate covers the hole. The screws that come with the kit are tiny so you have to drill the exact right size pilot hole through that steel top plate.

It is easy to feed the aux cable to this location and the lid closes. I was thinking of one of those ash tray iPod stands that hook up to a Dice. I think you could drill a hole in its base and still have access to the aux.

It figures that I finally have a vehicle that has all this electronic stuff and I end up screwing with it.
