H3T Wiring harness for the stereo...how long should I make it?

[SedonaBound]

I'd like to solder up the wiring harness for my new audio head (Pioneer Appradio 3) while waiting for the dash kit and iPhone cable so I can just pull the old head and plug in the new one. The full length of the new harness (Metra GMOS-04) is about 30" to the OEM connector after plug everything together. Is there room behind the head unit to coil & tie-off that much wiring harness? I could shorten the wires 6-8" before soldering if it would make a difference.

I'm sure you can make the room back there, there's always room, you just have to play around (and probably get your hands cut) I rather leave it long, so if you need to ever pull the unit you have lots of room to lay it on the console.

That's exactly what I want to do. I know I'll be changing the phone cable at some point in the future.
