Thanks for the pic....We pulled it and moved it as far back as possible and it came out just about perfect.
Here are the before and after pics.....quite a difference. I'm perfectly happy with the install. I wish Kenwood would fix the gauge display problem with the ecoroute module but they said that they won't be looking into it. Apparently it works fine with most vehicles but I can't get it to work right with the Z and noone else on here seems to have one so I can verify if it is a problem with all Z's.

Big difference! looks great. That was worth the extra effort!

What did you do to move it back that far?

If I remember right it just a matter of loosening everything up and pushing the mount and HU in as far as possible and hold it there while tightening up the screws.

And which dash kit are you using?

It's the Metra kit. We used part number 99-7607B.

This is what I did with my Sony. It was sticking out just like yours and know its flush

I love the install, the front camera and back camera were done very well, me personally I'd just do the back camera, the front camera is a little over kill, but it does say BALLER status all over it though.

That looks very clean! I wonder for us with touring Bose with voice button built in the steering wheel if we can use that with this HU? Can someone please confirm this? Many thanks.
