Alpine head unit blocks radio cover?
Hey guys,
I normally would search this up but the site is acting funny, so I wanted to know if the alpine head unit that I want would block the radio door from closing. Heres a sample picture of what it looks like. Wanted to know if anybody out there has this similar kind. And if it fits fine.Thanks!

We installed a similar model. You might have to move the backet so the radio sits 1/2 inch farther back than normal for the door to miss the center button, but it is not a big deal. Test it out before you put everything back together.

Yep, mine fit fine after a bit of the rear of the bracket was cut out. At the default position the button is pressed slightly every time the radio door closes.
