you should turn the volume up all the way on your ipod rather then on the radio.
This way you won't get any humming noise from the speakers and you can control the volume from the big nob or if you have the steering column volume controls.

I must say for the XM install you went to way too much work. The Terk - Audiovox unit just plugs in to the FJammer - no holes, no major disassembly of the truck, just pull off the radio face plate and pull the radio out a bit. You don't even have to cut or splice a wire!! let alone drill a hole. Totally integrated with the radio and steering controls. Works great with excellent sound quality.
Since I don't have an FJammer or steering wheel controls, what I did made more sense.
"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. . . .He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. . . .When all other friends desert, he remains." --- George G Vest
I have the same tuner mounted down near the center switch panel and I find the backlighting is very bright and intrusive at night even at it's lowest setting. I've tried a layer of window tint film over the display which makes it's tolerable but then it's too dim for daylight. I have the Roady in my 4runner and its' backlighting is more adjustable.
It would seem with your location it would be even more noticable. Have you addressed this in any way?
Or maybe it's just my sailors' habits with night vision.
The locations and the installs will never get dull. We will constantly be praising others for their ideas and I for one praise others for their ideas and suggestions for my installs.

No, I'm not having a problem with that at all. During the day, I've got the backlighting, brightness and contrast set so it's very easy to see. And, if I'm doing any extended night driving, I'll turn the backlighting down a bit so that it's about the same brightness as the dash panel (which I like to keep somewhat dim).
