Also toying with the radio bezel as a location.
I'm trying to add physical next/back and mode buttons for the stock radio because I hate using the touch screen at speed on bumpy roads.
The buttons don't have to light up, but I thought it would look cool, be oem looking, and make the buttons easy to find in the dark.

Have you verified the radio can even do this? It's usually not just as simple as connecting wires, it requires a module or interface to interpret the signals from the buttons into signals the radio expects, inputting onto probably unused pins on the head unit. Typically this is done the other way, retaining stock buttons to aftermarket radios, and I can tell you those don't just send straight 12v signals, they send pulses corresponding to the different type of button pressed.
