There isn't a more complete install thread that I know of. I also added a backup camera to mine (I have a roadster so rear visibility is very limited). In a thread about the camera install I found a good description of how to remove the dash pieces and radio so you can get to the wires you need to cut. Check out page 2 of this thread: DIY: Rearview Camera & DVD.
As for the switch, you need to interrupt the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) to be able to play DVD's as well as use menu items on the nav that are normally greyed out when the car is moving. You can't permently leave the VSS disabled though or the nav works poorly. So you install the switch to cut the VSS signal only when you need too. People with coupes use the blank button between the seat heaters to mount the switch. I cant do that because on roadsters that's where the top control switch is. I have a 7AT so I mounted my switch where the syncro rev match button is on 6MT cars. Where to mount the switch is up to you.
