Default Double DIN HU's with Fold Down Faceplates - Gear Shift Interference?

I'm looking at eventually upgrading the stock HU to a Double DIN unit. Has anyone installed a full screen, drop down faceplate unit in their Z? It seems the faceplate would hit the shift lever when folded down.

I've got my eyes set on Alpine's INA-W900BT, which has a folding faceplate. I know there are other Double-DIN's with externally accessible disc slots that don't have folding faceplates, but I rarely (if ever) throw a CD into a slot.

I do not think you will have a problem just make sure to change a cd when not driving.

I've got a Kenwood DNX9960 and there are no issues.

Most likely will, but it'll down the road - too much fun drivin' this car around.

The INA-W900BT's been on the market for awhile now, I believe. Is there a replacement in the works that you know of?
