here is some pics of my radio and speaker install on my lmv. I had lots of room overhead so I built a console over head to install the radio in still have to add the 2m ham and may add some switches to but tunes is a start. the only down side is the modern lcd screens are intended to be viewed from above not below.

hmmm.... much thanks for reporting that issue. Maybe fab up a test bracket that allows you to tilt radio downward toward driver. If that solves your problem then maybe angle the face of the console to allow for that?

on my ham radio I will have to do that but for my music listening I only have 2 radio stations in town, or an mp-3 flash drive which is what I normally use anyway.
