Done mine a few months ago. As other will tell you, there is a huge amount of info about this across the forum, albeit scattered everywhere.
Have you decided on where you're fitting it? Once that's done the rest is simply tapping into the existing wires and extending them. I have my stereo in the passenger side of the central console, with power coming from the lighter. Looks tidy as the wires can easily be run from underneath. As for a guide, I did see a pdf aroudn here somewhere of a guy hacking into the existing console to fit the aftermarket unit into there, that helped me with the wiring.

Done it under the steering wheel. Was a challenge but i got it fitted and i am very pleased with it.
i spoke to my mate who owns ice direct in peterborough and states the best thing to to do with these is get a jl audio clean sweep. they cost the same as a head unit and act as one but it does not have a face but has your pre outs and and ipod connectivity etc.
might get one tho i like have ing a flashy head unit

No, I believe he takes your standard central console and modifies it to be able to fit your custom HU in the central console itself, i.e. where the factory radio buttons are... looks like a clean job
*edit: i'm sure you'll find a few pics of ppl who've had it done on here somewhere
i think im gona try and find away of wiring one off thoose mini laptops in to play music through and just amp all the speakers
