Head Unit Relocation in Glove Box?

Has anyone done this? I would love to see how you went about mounting everthing, what type of unit you went with, and if there was any need of a wiring harness extension.

I plan to make this work so that I can use it's current location for a triple gauge setup similar to the TRD style gauges.

My thought was to use a single DIN head unit mounted in some type of full enclosure. The only accessories I would want is some way to have an analog volume dial wired outside the glove box, and similarly a power switch. The power switch I believe I'll integrate into one of the switches on a Series Blue panel.

I was briefly hesitant about doing this but I couldn't think of a single reason to keep a head unit over gauges that could be vital. I use a phone and Bluetooth almost exclusively for media, so if I have the phone on a mount showing audio information what else do I need? So here I am.

Even if no one has done this any suggestions or advice would be well received as this isn't an area of expertise for myself.
