I found that when i did mine the supplied mounting bracket was a hass to mount properly & line up with the pocket perfectly (the stereo always wanted to go in to far so i cut bits of a coat hanger and put in each side so it held the stereo out 2.5mm more) Another thing i found was it was better to put the pocket on the top so u dont have all the weight over the top of the pocket from the stereo cause depending on the glue u use to mount the bracket in can sag down a bit after being parked in the sun all day. Another neat trick i found was to get a long zip-tie and cut it to size and glue it between the pocket and stereo (shiny side out) so u dont get a gap that u can see through-looks heaps neater.
