donmontalvo Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I swapped out my AVIC-5000NEX for a AVIC-6100NEX and I couldn't be happier. Except for one thing...the head unit is about 3/8" deeper in the mount than the previous head unit. Comparing the two head units, it looks like the 6100 has a higher mounting ridge, so it sits deeper. I went to Crutchfield and they don't mention different mounting depths for the unit. Anyone have a 6100 mounted in a 2014 CR-V? Do you have the same problem? Here is what I found on Crutchfield, didn't see any alternate mounting depth options. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142HA1714B/Scosche-HA1714B-Dash-Kit.html I'll try to get/post a picture of the 6100 so you can see what I mean.

donmontalvo Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 FInally got a few pics of the Pioneer AVIC-6100NEX mounted in my 2014 Honda CR-V EX-L...notice how deep the unit sits, compared to the 5000 in my sig pic... This is the 5000...notice the ridge around the unit is flat... This is the 6100...notice the ridge around the unit takes a significant dip to the right of the buttons... The local shop told me this is by design, if we raise the unit, the buttons would stick out past the dash surface. Personally I think it is an ugly design, now that it is installed. But it is what it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
