how does it mount? Can in it only be mounted on top of dash or can it replace the radio?

The size of the display is larger than the single unit stereo unit slot in most vehicle dash areas - quite a bit larger. I was able to surface mount the 7" monitor on my dash but it is an RV and I was replacing an CRT type display for older backup camera. I added a cross brace to the existing side rails on the old mount and was able to fasten the new mount to it. A lot of depth was needed behind the monitor in order to use the whole mount. That mount can be rotated to shorten the depth but that would place the screws at a different angle to the back of the monitor and a mounting surface for those screws would be needed.

The screen is quite big, I cannot see how it would replace a radio. It came with a window mounting bracket that we used in our Sprinter since the rearview mirror could not be used anyway. We have no back window glass.Our drive uses it as a rearview mirror.

It can be mounted both ways if you have space and it doesn't block vision. I mounted mine where rear view mirror was. It didn't block view and works very well as you look there anyway.

you have to mount it somewhere. i mounted mine on the dashes lower panel. it will not replace the radio because it is just a monitor. hope this helps.

I mounted to the floor since there was no place to mount it on the dash. I thought about mounting on top but didn't want to distract my view out the windshield. I have no rear view mirror so was going to mount it there but was short on time so went for the easy mount on to the floor.

I think it's too big to replace the radio. It comes with a very versatile mount. It can be stuck onto your dash or hung down from the ceiling. It could also be mounted with screws to the front of a dash so as not to block your view of the road. I installed mine in a tractor trailer, so I had plenty of dash board room. This is an excellent camera system, but it may be a little large for a car installation.

The most obvious place to mount is on top of dash where you can see the unit easily. Most radios are to small for this unit to be installed.

Yes, this comes with a little plastic mount that you screw in to your dash. You have to screw it to the dash there are no existing holes to mount it.

It is a single-DIN system; so I'm going with 'yes'. All you should need is the appropriate dash kit to mount it properly. If you're replacing a single-DIN system, you may be able to simply swap them out (Not that I'm an expert. I suggest spending some time on YouTube for tutorials). If you're replacing a double-DIN system, like I did, you'll need a kit that accommodates this. I now have a handy in-dash cubby hole thanks to mine.

On my 2008 Tundra, I left it hanging behind the dash. Plenty of room. I also kept the external Sirius radio plugged into the harness, but the modules for the Sirius are hidden under the front half of the center console.

You can mount it using either a gauge cup, pillar mount or straight on to the dash.

It comes with a bracket that can be used wherever there is space. That will depend on how he car is built. I wound up putting mine on top of the dash. If I were doing it again I would put it inside the center armrest compartment.

No need to buy a special mounting kit. It comes with the metal bracket that fits into dash radio opening and wiring harness. Fyi bend as many tabs on the bracket to hold into dash, this will make a good tight fit and professional looking installation. Good luck take your time can't beat the unit for the price.

It's a single DIN radio. Look for a single DIN dash kit for the truck and if you find one it'll fit, if you don't find one then you're out of luck

It will fit with an adapter to mount it in the dash and maybe an adapter to hook up to antenna. You will not have on star or navigation if you have them now.

It will really depend upon where you mount it, but there will probably be reaching involved (like turning the channel on the radio). I have mine mounted in the middle of my dash but I also don't like to mess with it while I drive because my phone hooks up to my stereo and I just use the remote to change songs.

Yes its in dash, but you will need space below the mounting hole for part of the radio controls as the height of the unit is bigger than a standard unit. It overhangs the mounting hole by probably a couple of inches.

It doesn't mount. It just sits...on the floor, dashboard, seat, or console. It has one of those rubber surfaces that keeps it from sliding.

it can lay on dash if u want. it has a ground wire that will have to be connected to a good ground. save your money and buy a better radio,very disappointed in mine.

You can mount it in the dash by using the template and cutting a hole in the dash. The unit will be held in by four screws. Or, you can purchase the additional gimble mount and attach it wherever.

yea it has mounting brackets for mounting under dash, or just about anywhere you want.

Very little setup! Can mount just about anywhere in on dash! Takes a little time setting SWR on antenna but once antenna is tuned to radio works great!

I did not suggest the mount can go to the dash I said the windshield, I have not tried the dash because my Radar detector needs to be up high so I can get 360 degree coverage. But it may work because it haled on by socks ion
