Since there was no clear instructions or tutorial on this site, I took some pictures of what I did.

Pushed driverside seat forward to remove the plastic underneath it to allow the removal of the driverside step panel.

Tho I do have a question about wiring the RCA cables and remote switch to the headunit. I made a RCA female to single solid wire adapter so that I could just plug in the wire to the harness and connect the other end to the RCA cable leading to my amp. I don't know which connection to plug into for these and was wondering if anyone else knew?

From what I gather the remote switch is either yellow/green?
Sub+ is red/blue?
Sub - is red white?

Here are some pictures of the remote wire switch I installed. Nice OEM look. Bought it from Radishack.
