That's an outstanding DIY, great job! I just have some small questions:

1. I do not have a CD changer, so when I pull out my OEM head unit would there be an empty wiring housing to plug in the harness built here? In other words, I don't have to unplug anything and leave it hanging?

2. How do you select this device? My guess is it rotates through CD/CDC/AUX where CDC is the USB device.

3. The answer to the above question probably answers this, but does the option to play a single CD in the headunit still remain after this mod?

4. Is this powered USB port and can therefore be used to recharge an iPod or similar devices?
