I finally got my radio and antenna set up and running. It was a lot easier than I thought. I routed the antenna cable through the floor and side trim in about 20 minutes to get it to the front and under the dash. I put the radio above the glove box/ under the dash. I then routed the mic behind the infoscreen to the driver's side, where I hung it on a drive-side molle panel . Then, I put the radio controller up on the dash using a 1" ball mount. Lastly, I pulled out the grommet between the engine and cabin to cut it for the power cables, which was pretty easy to do. Overall, I am pretty happy.
