Stereo install in 2004 matrix - help?

Hey all,

So I ordered the Pioneer FH-P8000BT from Crutchfield, along with the Sirius Satellite radio tuner. I've never installed a car stereo or anything, but I'm somewhat handy so I thought I could do it. But I'm nervous about a few things that don't seem to be mentioned anywhere - I've searched the forum but can't find the info I need, and some of the posted docs are no longer hosted on the links.

Anyway, here are some questions I was hoping someone could help me with... thanks in advance!!
1. Where does the bluetooth microphone go? I mean, I know it's good to clip the mic itself to the visor, but where does the cord go so it can stay hidden? How does this work? I have no clue. Any pictures you could provide of where the cord gets hidden or how it snakes along behind stuff?
2. Where does the satellite tuner go? I read it might be good under the passenger seat.. can I driller there without puncturing stuff? Where do the corresponding cords go? Again, like the microphone, I'm not sure where to snake the cords along. Any pictures?
3. The Pioneer FH-P8000BT has Aux out and USB out on the back. Where do THESE cords go?

In the end, it seems it's easy to install the head unit, but I just have no idea where all the extra cords and equipment goes. Do i need to take apart door panels or the floor or something? Pull off the dashboard somehow? I'm so clueless.

ANY pictures or details you can post would be SO appreciated. Thank you!!
