#The next step was to, very carefully, position the block of wood exactly where I wanted it to ensure that the Face was at the right depth and was level. Since the block was a tight fit, it basically stayed where it should. So I slid it in so that it was about 1/4" too far out. I then took the Face Plate Assembly and carefully, slowly, inserted it exactly how I wanted it, pushing the block to its correct position. I then carefully removed the Face Plate Assembly, flipped the Pocket over, and screwed a couple Pan Head Wood Screws in to keep the block in place. Next I screwed the Face Mount Bracket into place and, once again, test fit the entire thing.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_14.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_15.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_16.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_17.jpg|400px]]
#Using a Stepped Drill Bit I increased the diameter of one of the holes in the back of the Pocket enough so that I could fit the RJ11 connector, on the Interface Cable, through it.<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_18.jpg|400px]]
#After putting the Center Stack back together it was time to put the car back together! After threading the Interface Cable into the back of the Center Stack I cleaned up the extra cable length. I gathered up & zip-tied the excess into a nice bundle and then zip-tied it out of the way behind the glove box area. I did, however, make sure to leave plenty of slack behind the Center Stack so that it was easy to remove the Center Stack. Note that the photo shows the cable threaded through the Pocket, but you'll have to thread it through the Center Stack 1st. I only did this as a basic length check. Once everything is tidied up, put the whole thing back together, plug in the Face & the Mic and you're good to go!<br />[[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_19.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_20.jpg|400px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_21.jpg|266px]][[File:Yaesu_Install_Face_22.jpg|266px]]
