No problems at all, it went super smooth I got a lot of info off of here which helped quite a bit. Thanks I love the wood wheel, my es300 had one and I missed it.
I'm trying to find a wood shifter now to match, I think there about $325 off of Sewell.
The best prices I've found for those have been on eBay, it's also good if you know which other models have the same shifter.
Today I installed the alpine microphone in the factory spot, Let me know what you think. I still haven't got the wiring for the head unit so I can't test it yet.
I started by removing this small plastic piece put in the models with no factory mic.
I used a couple of small zip ties and some clear silicone. I didn't cut, drill, or brake anything. Everything can be put back to OEM. Gotta Love Silicone
You'll have to let us know how you cram all that stuff in! I haven't had mine out yet, but I'm guessing there's not a lot of space behind the head unit for all that. I don't have XM and plan on bypassing the Lexus amps when I do my install, so I will save a little space - but I still want the steering wheel interface (once I've gotten used to them, I can't go back!)
Did you get the camera as well? Not sure if the 900 has this feature, but the 910 has this amazing feature where it will actually make a flashing square and beep when there's a moving object behind you while you're reversing out. Pretty awesome. You can also standardize the alignment lines so that they are as accurate as possible. Neat stuff! Here's a vidoe of it at work! When I have enough dough, I'm definitely going to try to install this HU
I haven't got a camera yet but I plan on getting one before I put everything back together, I've been looking for a good thread on a aftermarket camera install with no luck. I found a camera on ebay that replaces one of the licence plate bulbs, I added a link. If anyone has done this install or knows a good thread please let me know.

There's actually quite a bit of space back there, I also have a Bluetooth module and a head unit booster I have to squeeze back there. You should have more than enough room for a amp bypass and a steering wheel control interface.
