I ordered a replacement head unit from Crutchfield, and I said that I didn't have keyless because I am ripping the factory radio out and tossing it due to all the nightmares it has caused!
One thing you can do is see if they make a master harness for your particular head unit. They are more expensive, but are plug-n-play! Circuit City and a few other places sell them.
ETA: Something like this: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Metra...oductDetail.do
ETA2: You would also need this if you went the master harness route: http://www.audio-discounters.com/kn16-0001.html
Personally, I only used one ONCE and it ended up being a buttload of wire to have to hide behind the dash in a 90s Dodge Dakota. The only reason I went with it was due to the fact that it was the only thing I could find on a Sunday afternoon.

Two wiring harnesses are required to complete the installation-the vehicle wiring harness and the radio wiring harness. Make sure you have both before you start the installation.

RE: So, sonic electronix gave me a call.help me!
If you want to go the master harness route you usually need two! Every now and again you can run across a master harness that has your vehicle plug on one end and a direct plug for your aftermarket radio on the other end.
You can go the one harness route, but you will need to solder and heatshrink the wires to the aftermarket radio yourself.
Alternative 3 (which I do NOT recommend) is that you can cut the factory plug and wire directly to your aftermarket radio. The reason I do not recommend this is because it is a royal pain to work in certain dashboards after you clip the factory harness and if you ever have to change your radio again it really sucks.

I don't see the master harness available in that link you provided. Since you don't have access to a solder gun, your next best bet is to get a cheap crimp set and use butt connectors to join your wires together, then consider using electrical tape over the individual connections. Personally, I hate going that route because it seems that one crimp connector will always fail over time, and it is usually the one that causes the most problems (i.e. remote turnon shorts out or every light blows in the dashboard). I used to "fix" professional installs that used crimp connections and failed before I started my career.
As for the Tape Deck, I am planning on leaving mine in there because I thought I had a spare din pocket laying around, and come to find out I think I tossed the dang thing. Also, my cupholder lid is broken and won't close, so I don't really see much of the tape deck. Lastly, I am planning on either routing my iPod cable to the glove box or console to keep it out of sight. But in your case, if you can find a local shop that will sell you a din pocket, you can drill a place for the iPod wire to run through and put some anti slip mat in there to keep it (your iPod) in place.
