Here is a DIY and it helped me a lot when I was installing mine. You just have to be super careful when you take out the center vents so you don't scratch your dash. There is a youtube video that shows hot to take it out:

I used the install PDF that I received from David over at carlighttrends.com along with the DIY. It really is easy JUST BE CAREFUL when working around your dash board.

I've looked at a couple of back up camera's on ebay, does it matter what type of back up camera I get or is there a specific type that I need?

What did you do to fix it? I moved my yellow power antenna wire and it made no difference at all My reception is dreadful!

The curious thing is, from my understanding the Flyaudio HU doesn't have a radio, it re-uses the stock radio. However, the stock radio is diverted through the Flyaudio. My stock radio and reception was 100% perfect.

I also just found out that my IPhone cable won't charge my phone. Several people above have also mentioned this issue. How is this fixed? (my firmware was updated 2 weeks ago)

I'm thinking you moved the wrong wire or to the wrong pin in the harness, cause I did it and it worked perfectly.

Is there a way to tell what latest version of firmware in the unit. I tried the last one I could find but the password in the txt doc was not accepted.

Maybe i have? I pulled the yellow wire out of the FA harness, and fitted it to the plug that plugs into the radio on the bottom (3 pins along). Does this sound right?

You pulled the wrong wire. Here is the pic. That wire could be the fix for your ipod not charging.

I pestered CLT and Flyaudio until they sent me a new harness.

Is yours Gen 1 or 2? I've only heard of 2 units that had the ipod charging problem, both Gen 1, and both AFAIK never had a solution for. If yours is a Gen 2 (from your radio problem I assume it is) then yours would be the first Gen 2 I've heard of that has that problem so far...

I will pull it out on the weekend to triple check the connections (again)

If the centre plug pictured (which has the relocated yellow wire fitted) plugs into the bottom radio plug, that's what i have done.
