How steep of an upward angle can the D3 be mounted at? At first I thought it has to be flat, but after searching around I found something that said no more than 30 degrees. I'm making a center console so its not a big deal, just want to get it right. Thanks in advance.

I could have sworn the manual said no more than 15 degrees from horizontal. I could be wrong though since I don't have one in front of me to check.

Ahh thanks cntrylvr79, I didn't even think of that. I don't have my unit yet, so no instruction manual, but I downloaded it from Pioneer's website. Here it is just in case anyone else was wondering....

 

Just looking at this I was curious, am I not seeing it right, or is that first picture showing that it can be mounted within 10 degrees of vertical as well?

Yeah went out and took some pics of the mock up I'm working on. Looks like I'm past the 30 degree requirement. Back to the drawing board...

Yeah 30 degrees from the horizontal. The 10 degrees is left to right. Judging by your mock up, you're fine on that end. BTW def gotta post some pics of that when you're done.

haha the cardboard is a nice touch. But yeah, hopefully it comes out as good as it looks in my head.
