Yesterday my orbital and kenwood DNX 8120 showed up on my porch. I got everything wired up fine and GPS , bluetooth, and rear camera working. However to make the headunit fit perfectly inside the orbital I've tried: using supplied template, and boring out mounting bracket holes a little.

Has anybody used just one screw on each side for the mounting plates that attach to the HU so they swivel up and down a bit??

I gave up for the night and haven't been able to tweak it today.

Anybody have a suggestion that I didn't see when searching? (those were the two i found)

I suppose a clear head and some little adjustments and I'll get it. Just trying to get some more ideas before I run out of drill space on the dash

....I will post pics once she's in

 

I'll be installing my DNX8120 soon, so I'd like to see what you've done. Did you modify your orbital head unit with anything or leave it black grain? Just curious.

 

i'm leaving it black. I think it looks better than silver.

 

Spent a little time this evening and got it to fit pretty nicely without having to trim any of the orbital.

To get the right angle I put three little washers behind the top two mounting screws for the headunit brackets. I really like the garmin gps program it runs!

 

any pics?
