I was finally able to finish wiring the center console. Basically the entire thing powers up with the key on. This way the heated seats and the XM don't stay on all the time. I used a 15 pin Molex plug to make the connection between the truck and the console. This way I can remove the unit with only fishing out the audio and XM antenna cables. I could do a plug for the audio but the XM would be more work. So.. I didn't spend much time on that.

Next since I was back into the dash I decided to hook up and run the mic for the hands free audio that the Retrosound Radio is capable of.. I ran it up the a-pillar.

We've been also still fighting a shake in the rear of the truck. After going through 4 different drums and still not getting one that doesn't vibrate it was time to bust out the antiques..

Every one of the drums was off the chart.

Here is a 50 gram weight placed to static balance it.

Next we just need to braze on some ballast weight and should be good to go!
