the pod is not uneversal, it's for the edge attitude and insight. it just snaps into place which is nice cause it doesn't leave any holes or sticky junk behind. the cord just goes over and runs down the inside of the weather striping and out at the bottom, i zip striped it up so it's not in my feet. you could run it through the dash but i wanted to be able to take it out easily.
the dd is attached with 2 small strips of balsa wood that run vertiacally on the inside of the pod. the dd is screwed to the wood sandwiching the pod lip inbetween the dd and the wood. some people use metal but that's all i had sittin around. i'll change it next time i have it apart. all in all it turned out pretty good and i can remove it without and permanent damage to the trucks dash.
