HU sitting flush
according to crutchfield the HU I want (Pioneer DEH-P7700MP) will stick out of the dash by 1" . what did you guys do to get your HUs sitting flush in the dash?

go to best buy, they make an adapter plate that makes it flush, and also gives you a handy storage compartment...

I was there two days ago to buy everything to install one into my mom'* car. since before that she had no CD player. Worked pretty well. Although 45 in parts just to install it myself really sucks.

I had the same thing with mine. In my case there was an install kit in my car when i got it, with no radio in it. The tab behind the factory radio that i guess that little plastic pin slides in was getting in the way of my new HU, but i just took a hacksaw and cut it off flush with the tray below the radio. Worked like a charm, but the wires still have to tuck off to the side. Your'* could be different though because mine'* an '87.

Ok...I just pulled my new HU out of my 95 and put it into the 97. Changes that were needed included cutting that little piece of plastic from behind the radio.
