I finished this project today. First you need Navigation Radio with screen complete, DVD drive nav ecm, gps antenna and custom made harnesses. Here is the pics of those with my custom made harness. This is GEN 3 DVD GPS ECM and Radio with extra harness set which I didnot use it.

First start from the rear trunk and back seat. Open the trunk top support by removing clips and two screws from right and left side. You have to remove the red line black bar by removing few screws to easy access with amplifier. Look at the pic.

Leave the GPS DVD ECM in the trunk and connected with amplifier and run harnesse by right side door sills to the front by the glove box. You could fry out the clips of sills and door piller cover. Look pics. Don't worry about the yellow wire. This is mute wire for bluetooth.

Now open the front radio and u shape wooden cover. First you press the parking brake and move the gear towards N position. You first remove the U shape wood cover by prying out with two flat screw drivers same time red circles. Then remove red circle four screws from the radio. Move the gear shifter to L position for easy removing the radio. I took the pics after removing screws.
