Hey guys , i know this would have been asked before but i cant find a solution to this issue on here , and ive looked so please dont comment if you are not going to help Ive brought a brand new alpine head unit for my vl calais but its too long for the brack to click into head unit , i brought some right angled RCA adaptors which helped a bit but still around 1 cm from it clicking into place and holding on correctly , has anyone came up with a good solution to this issue ??

Just heat up the rear duct with a heat gun(on low)a bit at a time and slowly push the unit in when the duct is still warm.How far short are you from getting it in?? Cheers Marty

i trimmed the right angle rca's when i put my head unit in, but it only clicked in on one side it's not going anywhere though. Just push a bit harder! lol

Yer only about 1-2cms short , that's not a bad idea man I'll give the heat gun idea a try might pull it out of car first though ? So you done that and it's worked man ?
