Thank you. Yes I am now very pleased with the installation. When I first fitted it it was sticking out too far. THere isn't anywhere for the DIN "cage" to grip and so with all the cables and tight fit the unit was forcing itself back out slightly. But by making two very tiny holes and utilising two really small screws I managed to get the cage/frame to stay where it was supposed to. So now the stereo sits more flush with the centre console. And with the surround matching really well it certainly fits the dashboard visually.
And yes the sound is superb. I can't emphasise it enough! I've had decent stereos in previous cars, but this one is much better. It might be a combination of the decent standard speakers, plus the Crossfire's amp with a strong and clear input from the Clarion. Whatever it is it's a pleasure to listen to.
