This makes it very rigid and will never sag nor rattle.

You just need to mount everything up on the bench to get the distances right, then fix it in place within the plastic frame.

So did you use the cage that came with the Connects2 kit, or the one that came with the head unit?

I was thinking the Pioneer cage will fit the unit 100% but OTOH the Connects2 cage may be better adapted to the car.

My car has the one piece "horseshoe" vent frame and I am not sure what is the best way to remove it but I suspect is is just using clips.
