I got a new Pioneer FH-X820BS double DIN for the Voy. The whole package came with a GMOS-01 (hopefully all wired up) and a American International GMK422 mounting kit. Talk about confusing instructions for the mounting kit!
Does anyone know what tabs on the kit need to be cut off?
Looked here and on the web but can't find any details.
EDIT:
I had an apostrophe or an epiphany not sure which
Pull the old radio and work at it until it fits. Turns out the tabs on the side brackets have letters molded into the plastic. Cut off everything except the A tabs. They're the ones in the front. Cut off the side tabs on the front bezel. Looks like the top and bottom front bezel tabs are a non-issue.
I used standard sized wire cutters (side cutters, diagonal cutters). Wear safety glasses or make sure you point the tab in a safe direction when you cut! They can fly.
I got some pictures of the finished mount and will post them later.
