[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8219843, member: 659121"] If you still need the headunit pulled out (after I finally got it in lol).. I will do it as I know how to get it back in now.. But.. essentially what it is.. Is an aftermarket, obviously,.. Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD doubledin headunit,.. and to mount these you take the side brackets off the factory doubledin radio and attach them to that hole gauge pod. Here.. I quickly dropped some lines in paint to point it out: [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/111739693@N04/11959393264/"][IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3688/11959393264_16f61bc6d8.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The yellow arrow is pointing to the factory brackets.. see those LONG as.s legs on them ? Those were why it took me so long to figure out how to get that thing in there.. But that's not the issue now. Now.. The red circle is the mounting holes.. two screws on each side that go into the headunit. It has the original factory holes.. and another set just beside them that whoever installed this head unit drilled to make it fit flush. Which , again, doesn't make sense to me.. because I used both sets of holes (more than once).. and it doesn't line up.. Well I'm guessing it's not lining up since the trim piece isn't fitting without gaps. So basically it's the factory brackets.. with another set of holes drilled in it.. really simple set up (pain the butt to put back in due to how long those bracket bottom bolt legs/holes are.. you have to angle it down there where those legs go behind the very back of the bottom of the console area..
