Default PanaVise Dash Mount for 2011-2012 JK -- Good Alternative to CoolTech VersaMount?

I'm looking for a dash-mounted alternative to the CoolTech VersaMount that fits in a 2011 JK. PanaVise part #751052008 seems to fit the bill.

Has anyone installed this in their 2011 or 2012? Did you have to trim anything to make it fit?

Installation instructions: panavise.com/pdf_indash/751052008.pdf (2011-2012 steps are on page 2.)

Default simple

Install is CAKE. All you have to remove are 3 screws and pop off the dash. No cutting/trimming is necessary. The bracket is designed to attach to the right two screws that hold the radio in.

2012 has the same interior as the 2011, so I don't see why not.
