Does anyone have some mounting pictures of the N4 in a Ram?

We got the AVIC-N4 installed by Circuit City and it is not flush with the dash kit. I can actually see the forward screw holes in the front of the unit that sticks out 2-3 inches from the dash.

Does anyone know if there is a better mounting option or if they just screwed up the install?

Thanks in advance.

Year make and model of the vehicle would be helpful. Though from the sound of it, sounds like someone screwed up.

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Daytona Edition.

The inner plate sits back from the outer plate and the radio sits even with the outer plate. I will try to post some pics.

Thanks

Uhhh, that dash kit should be flush.

Post pics.

I concur you shouldn't see any holes on the sides of the radio.

It depends entirely on the vehicle. I just finished mine and would describe it exactly as you just did. The back of the trim ring sits flush with the dash kit, which leaves two small slits exposed on the left and right side. Its not ugly or terrible or even a botched install, but its just not... perfect.

After some measuring, I realized mine was sitting flush with the Metra dash kit, and it was designed that way due to lack of clearance behind the radio. The rear of the thing was compressing the cables against the dash wall as it was, there wasn't room for another half inch of space to make true 'flush' possible.

Thanks for the reply, I have to take the dash apart but there is a lot of clearance around the whole unit.

I think the sleeve needs to be brought forward so it will sit flush.

The radio itself is flush but the inner sleeve does not.

Pics would still be nice.
