    It looks way to big to have any options.

    You'd have to sacrifice your HVAC vents (major surgery - not recommended) to make any more room. Kenwood makes such a great product, but you probably already have it in the best possible position. I'd just live with it and enjoy it.

    Thanks for the response. Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking as well. Much appreciated

    I think the headunit looks great but didn't get it because it's so damn big.

    Many with many more to go
    Its the worst marketing term i've heard in quite some time. "Floating Head Unit". What I think of is a hologram that moves within a given space, thus floating for the user. What it actually means is "too damn big to fit in the factory location."

    Yeah you can fold this screen down and use it as a table! Works amazing though. Working on some ideas to adjust and next week it will be more flush with the dash instead of halfway to my backseat

    id be concerned with the having the vents blow directly on it.

    It’s not that bad and it’s hot here in Texas so it’s not a bad thing really for the AC to be blowing on this but it does cover the vents a little bit

    I imagine if you were using it as a map, it would be really nice having the larger display. Does it have a quick disconnect so you can remove it when your parked outside, to keep the temptation down with the thieves.
