I doubt the cable can seal the door better then weather stripping

Ponch..... SLOW DOWN. DO NOT RUN THE CABLE LIKE THAT. Not only does it look terrible but it can be dangerous. You do not want the door to rub through the wire. Look under the car even. There are going to be ports somewhere that you can get a cable through. I ran mine in wiring conduit and int a grommet under the back seat. There are ports somewhere that are meant to equalize pressure between the cab and the outside..... mainly when opening and closing doors. Take your time, run it CLEAN. Look into Scion forums. I'm sure someone has a tutorial on how to run a cable. That is how I started running mine and then went from there.....

Not in the scion. I wish it was. There's shit all over on how to do that. The best I've found for this is someone doing it in a newer f150 and it turns out that it is waay different from the expedition.

Ponch, whatever you do, don't rush.
I know you want to hear how it sounds and all, but do it right the first time. If you rush it'll look like shit, probably have probs in the future with sound and then you'll still end up doing it the right way at some point in time.

Doesn't look like I will be picking up a touchsreen. Faceplate doesn't come off and don't want to take the risk of getting it stolen.

It doesnt matter what kind of radio you got. If its not a factory radio then somebody is gonna want it. Doesnt matter if its a peice of crap aftermarket or not. If they can get it out of your car in 2 minutes or less then they will take it. Turn around and sell it for 20 bucks and thats the end of it.

But I can atleast take the face off of just a regular type receiver and I'd rather have a 200 dollar radio stolen rather than a 400.
