You're expecting more than 15 minutes and you've got the super-amazing
instructions from Crutchfield? Yikes.

The wire for the sirius setup shouldn't be too bad, how much cord do you
have? If there's enough, you could just tuck it under the carpet along the
doorsils and bring it up and out at the top of the tailgate. If you don't
have lots of cord, try pulling it through the firewall along one of the
existing harnesses and mount it on the wiper cowl, satellite radio antennas
are rediculous small now so you probably wouldn't even see it there.
