Omnifi MP3 installation pics

Atomic, I used 3-way taps to connect the wires. It's a connector that slips over an existing wire, then you insert the new wire and press down on a small metal tab that slices through the insulation without cutting the wire. They're easy to find at Radio Shark or auto parts stores.
 
How functional are the cupholders when you are using the omnifi with this installation? I'm thinking seriously about copying your idea but that is the one thing that concerns me about it.
 
The panel blocks the holders a little when it's open, but the nice things is that you don't need to leave it open - just start the music and close the door. You only need to see the display if you are picking songs (or just like to see the name of track).
 
wkparker,
Do you still like the OmniFi? I'm thinking about installing one myself. You've had it for a while now, what do you think?
 
another question for ya, wkparker:

why did you mount the harddrive in the center compartment?
Did you look at mounting it in the glove box? That's what I'm thinking.

For those that might be interested, here is the link for removing/replacing and upgrading the Omnifi's harddrive to 60gb, or even 100gb:

afsu - I still like it - even more after a loooong road trip to Orlando a couple of weeks ago. My Grand Cherokee had a HU that played MP3 CDs, but the OmniFi peformed much better - the controls for artist/album/playlist, etc. work better than the CD player.
 
Atomic, I had a few reasons. One, that is the recommended mounting orientation for maximum shock protection, and it works great - I've really bounced around and never had a skip. I assume that the vertical location lets the heads "hang" so they are less likely to bounce up and down. I also already had plans for the upper glove box - that's where I installed the power/audio adapter for the Garmin GPS: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9626
