I was hoping I could prove him wrong with a pic, but it looks like he may be right.

If you or your installer have enough patience you can drill new holes in the brackets and move it back some.

Well, I'm beginning to lose patience with Kenwood. Car Toys has tried swapping the Ecoroute module but it still has problems connecting with the head-unit about 25% of the time and some of the gauges still only display randomly (coolant temp, timing advance, battery voltage). They want to try replacing the head-unit but I hate to have my dash taken apart again if this is just a software/firmware problem since it will probably eventually be fixed with a software upgrade.

Does anyone have one of the new Kenwood units using the Ecoroute HD function without issue?
