Have a wiring question for a DEH-P7800MP

[D-DAY 10+ year member]

I think I may have screwed up.

I bought the DEH-P7800MP, the CD-IB100II (i-pod adaptor), and the GEX-P920XM (XM tuner). So is it possible to install both components to the HU at the same time???

I saw that the unit only had 1 IP-BUS input, but both components have in's and out's. So, can they be wired together in piggyback style using IP-BUS.? Like from ipod adaptor, to xm tuner, to HU???

On the wiring directions for both components it shows that a "Multi-CD Player" can be connected via the IP-BUS to either component and then the HU, but can it be done with this equipment???

If so, in which order? ipod to XM to HU or XM to ipod to HU????

This is really bugging me!

You can piggyback both of the components, and it doesn't matter what order you do it in.

Can I wire the yellow/battery wire of both components along with the HU's yellow/battery wire to the car's wiring harness? (Can I run all three wires to the same main car harness wire?) Same question for the black/ground?

Just want to make sure there aren't any problems befor I do this. Also, should I solder (sp) the wires or just use the blue/pink crimp connectors???

You can wire the power wires together but I wouldn't put 3 grounds together.

So what do I do with the grounds? Find a bolt or nut somewhere in the interior frame and wire one or two of them to it and lock it down???
