So when I got my car, there already was an aftermarket Pioneer head unit installed with a lidded pocket underneath it. With the Pioneer installed, it didn't have a problem with letting the face fold down to let me insert or eject a CD, but with my new Alpine CDA-9857, the trim panel around the radio kinda sits on the faceplate and won't allow it to open. It did the same with the CDA-9855 I have but would still allow the motorized face to open every once in a while. I'm not too concerned about the CD part since I have an iPod cable now, but it just bugs me that it does this, so I might have to shave the panel around the radio down a bit. Did anyone else have this problem? Is it just a matter of design for the radios? What installation kits do you guys have?

Alex, is it actualy an install kit? Because i riped the factory head unit, and my after market installed right into the side bracket. Why dont you meet up with me and lets compare. We'll see if it's some busted BEST BUY installation kit or something. If so than we' can remove it, and i've got the washers to re-center the headunit. If not, than i've got a sander
 and still have half a quart of FG and plenty of fiber-cloth to make you something REALLY cool!!  You got my number, My PM, and know that i get off at 5.00 pm. Talk to you soon.(BTW: i dont need that "expert" to shut my chick up anymore. I've handled it  )
