I also have an HSE.
I'm interested in following this thread as I'm intending doing the same.
Can you connect the underseat CD changer to the Alpine?
Does the new radio fit exactly in the hole left in the dash?
The warning lights in the in instrument cluster are non replaceable LEDs I believe which one do you mean to use and is there a spare terminal to connect to?
Haynes says that if an LED fails the whole cluster must be changed!!!!!
Can you get easy access to the rear of the cluster?

What year HSE have you got? 
Mine left the factory on 13 Sept 2004 - I've got the amp under the passenger seat and a 6 CD changer under the driver seat.

Ah, - in the rear storage box, beside the tool kit.
That's all the gubbins relating to the sub-woofers and whatnot that comes allied to the Harman/Karden upgraded sound system.
Do you have an H/K logo on the 'tweeters' on the doors? If so - that's it.
