I thought about leaving the top of the radio section curved like the first prototype, but with the clarion that was used in that particular kit, the screen distance was very deep, and stuck out past the curve. Most other double dins are VERY shallow in this spot, and wont stick out past the curve. This is why the face that the double din sticks out of has to be relatively flat. Take the pic below:

The black line represents the curve of the prototype kit. The Red lines are MOST double dins, and the green lines are the Clarion headunit. If the curve was left in place, the radio would sit behind the dash panel.

I had a similar problem with Rick Bottoms Gen 2 kit that was at SEMA a few years ago (I think it was SEMA 2009?). He had a Kenwood unit, and when the kit was built for him I did not have the radio. I used the same design as I used for the Clarion head unit, and when I saw it at the show, the middle section of the radio was behind the dash piece

Sure looks that way! I really thought the DTS kit would be more popular.

Would be nice to see some pics of your new design with the stock knobs.

What is the status of the stock vehicle settings (ie light delay, lock settings) in your unit?

There is going to be a small touchscreen box that plugs into the system, and can be left either tucked away in the car, or unplugged and removed. It will work similar to the stock unit, but wont be visible unless you are using it.
