Johnson is the pioneer on installation. I learned a lot from his posts on this. I had no soldering. I went to Radio Shack to buy some butt-end crimps to connect the wires. Probably the most important lessons I learned from this board are:
1. Do not attempt to use the Onstar microphone. You'll cut the coaxial cable that comes with your bluetooth microphone, only to have to reconnect it when no one can hear you. Use the one that comes with the kit. I clipped mine above the rearview mirror, then ran the wire along the headliner, down the driver side A-column, then fed it from behind the fuse panel, down toward the brake pedal, and back up toward the space behind the acc unit.
2. Mount the control unit next to the buttons for the onstar, behind the steering wheel. Someone made this suggestion because you won't want to have the bright blue illumination light on the panel shining in your eyes on long drives. Put it so that the steering wheel blocks this light.
3. You only need to pull the acc unit, not the radio. Once you pull it out some, you'll be able to feel a bundle of wires wrapped in cloth tape. Unwrap that tape to access the wiring harness that your handsfree harness will connect to. HOWEVER, the harness will not just come apart, no matter how hard you pull. There is some sort of lever that you have to move, then it will come apart.
Search the board and you'll find more instructions. Once you connect the wires, it's a very easy install, and works great.
