I hope to wrap up my install this weekend.

RG2000S - where are you with your stereo purchase/install?

Thanks again

TRP,
The faceplate that came with the stereo did not fit very well on the head unit, it took some filing and sandpaper to set the depth and fitment. Also you'll need to massage the 986 faceplate as well to get it to your liking. I didn't like the way it sat in at first, so I made my son sand and file it until he liked the flush fitment at the top and bottom, the sides can't do much since they snap in to the dash. Take your time and don't file and sand too much at one time.

RG2000S, hope this helps your decision on which to get.

BTW, I got tips from this thread as well: New headunit with usb and mic integration
