Here's the forward clamp. Loosen both and slide just a bit forward. Tighten and check alignment. You can see the screw accessible from the bottom of the door here - these are for tilt and closing pressure on the door seal.

Ordered from Crutchfield - nice one stop shop. Kit includes Metra mounting kit, keys, etc. From the advice I've read - ordered their prewired adapter. Made installation a non issue. Only things I forgot to order initially (parking brake bypass and USB port for cubby).

For rerouting HVAC harness, found it easier to remove the lower center console. Just a few screws on each side.

Test fitting the head unit, metra kit, etc. Wish the top/bottom were equal, but haven't seen a kit where that was the case.

The phone/aux plug - anyone make a harness for this themselves? Contacted Becker Audio - they no longer sell the harness pigtail.

Metra bracket that holds radio from sliding forward. That bottom protrusion posed a problem for me. Hadn't heard others mention that.

Bottom of the Metra bracket caused interference. Tried installing without this bracket, but the radio is too loose without it.
