Nice simple and cosmetically very neat. You could run it to the centre console cubby so you can place your phone in there, or even have a phone holder on the dash somewhere and have it that way, it's totally down to how you want it.
Thanks for answering all the questions, Looking forward to seeing your video.

Edit: was wondering if there was a way to reuse the USB port in the center console to connect to the screen? It must be a USB pass through to the original unit (CIC). That would be nice
