I didnt want to go too crazy with wiring direct. I took the car off my wife's hands, traded in my trailblazer so she could get her new CRV. Its a 2001 so wanted to take it easy on the electrical system.
I am using a Scan-Force (

Right now I am using the reare seat pocket to house the base 996XT until my remote cable extension and speaker arrives. At that point it will be permanently installed in the trunk or other non-conspicuous location (open to ideas). I wanted to use the glove box and got really excited when the base fit perfectly. That was before attaching any cables. (oh well)
I took the storage tray out from under the stereo controls to see if it would fit, and it is almost perfect. The reomote mounting plate is a little small so there is a gap. But I was able to manipulate the standard bracket to reverse-fit into the mounting harness that holds the AM/FM receiver in place.
Bought a three-way adapter from CellPhone Shack to cover both power supplies and my cell phone charger.
I have some lights that need to go in, but the Civic is tough on my as I am accustomed to working on Chevys.
I have added some pictures, more to come.
