You buy a smartlead from autoleads they do two models one for just the remote and one that does remote & display. I think they are normally only compatible with Sony CD Changer compatible headunits? You dont need to take the whole dash apart just the top part that houses the clock / cd display etc, the wires can be run from here to cd player without any further work.
remote only approx £35, both est £50 - 60.
But why dont you just leave the cd player out to save weight, BMW have done this on the M3 CSL which is around £12k more than one with a cd player!
