Purchased a Scosche FM-Mod02 from Amazon for $25.
Install was fairly straight forward.
Remove the ignition bezel.
Remove the face plate, carefully so as not to break/crack it. Do not pull all the way out until you unplug the DIC.
Unbolt and disconnect the radio. Remove the hvac controls( do not have to disconnect), and cubby.
Connect power wire to power wire on radio harness.
Connect ground to radio harness ground.
This next part takes some rigging..
You're supposed to connect the vehicle antenna to the female antenna from the Scosche harness, but the factory antenna harness is smaller than what they provide so I cut both male antennas and swapped (factory male antenna on scosche antenna and vice versa). This allows the Scosche antenna to fit into the factory radio*** Note- purchase an antenna adapter in stead of cuttingm( thanks to KeithGTP03 for the reminder)
I ran the Aux adapter by "drilling" a tiny hole in the bottom of the cubby at the bottom of the radio. Then I cut the mat just enough to pass the wires through. Once all is done, run the wires so that the radio will fit snugly and put back together.

When it's all said and done, admire your work look, and collect your accolades from your girlfriend.
**I used scotch tape as I could not find any electrical tape, but it was just for initial mock-up. Once I got things the way I wanted, I did purchase some electrical tape.
** Also, before you close everything up, ensure you select the fm station on the side of the modulator and set you radio to that station, ensure it works as you would hate to put everything back together only to realize you didn't select the station.
** Results may vary.. ** Not responsible for any problems, issues, situations that may unlikely arise. Yadda yadda yadda..
