I don't believe any 2x7 radio will fit into the lowest part of the bottom center console. It is simply too big to fit into that cubby area. I re-located my radio during a trial and uploaded a pic so you can see why it wouldn't fit.

The screen viewing angles will play another factor where you want to put it. You will need a unit that has custom viewing angle adjustment. You will also be dealing with glare from the light when your top is down at that placement position.

You should listen to the others in 2014 and move past the single DIN. These units cost more money than DDIN on average and will fail quickly over time. It is outdated for 2020 even for our Boxsters. The DDIN setup will give it a cleaner OEM look.

Thanks for the feedback but I'm a little confused by your answer. The only use for the 2nd-from-the-bottom position would be for the HVAC controls if I can figure out how to do that.

If I went with the single DIN it would go where the factory single DIN is now.
