The install is very easy. The hardest part was routing the mic. Once I figured out how to remove the passenger side pillar, it was all downhill from there.

Here's a YouTube video that got me going down this path in the first place:

Where did you get the wiring for the usb portion as well as the actual physical usb jack to replace the aux only jack under the armrest (assuming that is what you did)? I noticed that the ebay ad only says it includes a microphone and there's no mention of the usb portion.

I take it I should disassemble my head unit from the dash and see if it is different from what is shown in both the video/ebay ad, and if it is this might be a relatively simple path to go down besides coding, which I haven't the faintest clue how to handle, but I guess I'll worry about that after I know where to get all the parts needed for such a swap first.
