Double DIN Install
Did Kenwood nav install on a 2015 and it worked great. Even have functions like tire pressure that were not even an option with the old radio.
Just curious what everybody is using to support the rear of the radio? The plastic it is screwed to seems to flex a lot.
Also, has anybody modified the rear bracket to allow for the centre screw on the dash still to be used? I picture somebody grabbing the dash and it tearing off.

This is how I cut my bracket so I still had the top screw for support. I thought I was going to have to grind some off the top bar but I managed to fit the hu in with just a touch of up tilt at the dash face. Not enough to me to warrant weakening the cross structure.
I was going to run a piece of bailing wire under the unit and attach it to the 2 side screws but my unit sat directly on my duct work so I didn't bother.
