Hi A4NOY,

 

If I understand correctly you placed the MIB2 unit in the carrier where the original unit was located (behind the screen)?

You've cut away some of the dashboard so the unit could be slid in from the glovebox, couldn't it be slid in from the front?

Is the unit still fixed or is it loosely placed in the available space there?

Are you able to access the unit from the glovebox, or is it fully hidden inside the dashboard now?

 

Looking to do a similar upgrade (swing to bolero head unit) but since I do not seem to have a dedicated location for the MIB unit in the glovebox I was wondering how this unit could be build in.

Sorry for the spam questions 😅
