Spark,

I did finish the install. The Climate control DID just fall in with a little bit of pressure. I think I was just so tired the first day I was trying to get it in that I was not really focusing. You will no have no problems at all with locating it to the lowest most compartment. It DOES fit with no mods. Just line it up and apply some pressure.

Let me know how it goes. Feel free to PM me if you need further help.

Cheers,
James

thanks!! i'll give another try tonite. all the forum searchs make it sounds like it's supposed slide right in without any elbow grease and i was a bit scared to put too much force on it.

I don't know what happened on first day but climate control does slide in nicely on bottom slot. Now with climate control location issue settled, I just received AVIC-F90BT and waiting for installation kit to show up in next few days. My next question is where did you install the microphone for bluetooth? I thought about installing it on microphone spot but I heard number of people with older bluetooth units saying that it's not a good location for microphone.

I put my mic in the mic spot and dont have any problems with it really. No matter what you do the car is a rag top and it will be hard to get the mic 100%
