A few concerns are
- routing the new mic since OEM isn't compatible
- routing GPS antennae to a good spot
- cost

Just wondering if anyone has a guy that did it for them or whether someone followed a really good DIY with no issues?

Thanks
Yup super simple. I didnt have to mount a GPS antenna but I would say it would be most out of the way on the rear parcel shelf... but thats a lot of extra wiring routing. Im sure harbringer will steer you right. I mounted my mic using a tiny piece of 2 sided tape on the top of my steering column right next to the gauge cluster. Its nearly invisible and gets great audio. Others have run the mic up into the roof to where the OEM one is.

Best of luck on the install! I would also recommend a relay to allow your passengers to watch videos on the road... and remove other stupid pioneer limitations that despite being for your safety are downright annoying.
