5 trucks for both mtbcyclist and 05_X!

I followed their instructions and my head unit install went flawlessly. My only additions to their procedure:
  • With my head unit (Alpine CDA-9847) and install kit (Schosche from Crutchfield) I was unable to utilize the side brackets that supported the OEM double DIN unit. I had to use the DIN mounting sleeve that came with the head unit.
  • I also fabricated a support strap from the back of my head unit to the back of the Schoshe bracket. It supports the head unit at the correct angle and makes everything a lot more sturdy feeling.
  • There is plenty of room behind/above and below the head unit. I took advantage of the space and wrapped my wiring harness adapter in foam to keep it from flopping around.

Thanks again for the help you guys...sometimes disassembling a dash is like watching a magic trick. Without your help I would still be struggling to get the top panel off and I would have probably scratched up the front of my dash.

regards,
