I'm installing this now, and have a few comments on the install. You suggest putting the two screws in for the headlight switch trim/3 switch bezel and show doing so BEFORE the radio is in the provided mount. However, you say to install the radio using the provided screws into the mount, and then install the mount. If you do so, getting that one screw into the headlight switch trim/3 switch bezel is near impossible. I got it, but had to slide the radio as deep as I could, pulling it down (torquing the mount severely) and all it would have taken is a 1/2"-1" longer slot on the radio mount. Then it'd be easy peasy. The filter leads, aren't long enough to connect to radio AND mount in the location you suggest. In fact, the intercom 12V lead and connector is at the radio side of the filter and also way too short. It'd never reach the intercom. THe kit comes with a battery lead (raw wires) and intercom power connector, but it's not for this kit. At this point, I'll be cutting the 12V leads and soldering in extensions to mount the filter in an easy location. The connectors on the radio battery leads are a 9005 connector (same ones used in things like HID ballasts power leads). I have some male and female connectors on hand, so it'll make it a clean install. Otherwise, the average Joe will need to solder on +/- extensions for this "kit" to work properly. This is a great video, and I appreciate having one. But it's misleading, and not accurate as noted. Can't wait to go TX to others. ~Airtime
What happened to step 7? Lol. As the other comment states, install radio AFTER you reinstall switch plate. Also the pan of the intercom sitting on the lifted mount shows the lifted mount 90 degrees off from the correct alignment. It only mounts together one way, so I figured it out, but felt like I was doing something wrong initially. All the other install videos for other cars I've done are far superior to this one.
