Thanks again for the setup sir. Another possible option I had considered was putting the bracket in a vice and bending it so when it attaches to the radio the slide portion sits at an angle and can use two of the bolt holes on the side of the Navigation unit. That would also work and either way I will have the problem fixed pretty easily. Just didn't think about it on the first install.

if you want a little extra work
pull off the old tabs on the front from old radio
put one on the bottom and one on the top
this is even better yet

How did you get the HVAC flush to the bezel, did you use washers, please
detail.
Thanks for the wallpaper, how about one in Mag Red 1.

If i recall yours was no ash tray
which requires spacing out the hvac controls to mount
If not you will have a gap.

anything to correct it yet. In a week or so, I'm going to send it out to Carskinz for a cf/half wrap in leather (like yours) and then when I get it back, I'll correct it.

Dennis (Double D Mods) is an incredible vendor. He did my double din bezel and sold me the Pioneer X020BT. Everything was perfect and his customer service is the best!!!
Now...somebody get him to move to NY!!!!!

Man that OEM texture looks great! Looks like it came from the factory!

Radio was a Pioneer X920bt
The x920bt is now being replaced by the X930bt which i will have late March
NAV units for Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC, Alpine Sony ect are the same. ONly difference is if you have a full screen and then we allow a little more room for the screen to flip out
