HU Install question I finally got my new Pioneer deck and am in the process of wiring it up and installing it. I'm doing a physical test fit and noticed that there's a piece of plastic in the mounting area that's blocking the HU from going back all the way. It's got the little ring that the Monsoon pops into. Do I just cut that piece off?

hmm, i think u do get rid of it. Make sure u have it the right way and not upside down. I did an install on a transam just yesterday and cannot remember. Which metra kit did u use? 99-300X?

I'm using a kit from Scosche (GM1516) which technically isn't fitting quite right (I'll need to dremel a couple of spots). But even with out the kit, the HU has to be at the VERY top of the opening to be able to clear over this piece of plastic. I don't know if you put it that high if you could get the front trim piece to fit properly around it.

I just installed a Pioneer HU. I had to remove that tab in order for my HU to slide all the way in. I used a mount from a company called HUmount. Very good craftsmanship and looks awesome.

+1 for humount top quality stuff.. looks and fits amazing and is the only way to go.. i always get asked about mine...
