Hey gang!

I'm in the process of reworking my full audio system and I've spent a hell of amount of time researching how to mount in a single DIN aftermarket head unit into the gen 3 Viper and have been coming up short. Steve M's thread has been insanely helpful overall but it seems like I need some sort of bracket sleeve for the head unit that attaches to the forward facing 4 screws that mount to the interior dash frame.

Basically looking for a solution that utilizes the side screw holes on the unit for side support and translates that support to the forward 4 factory screws. Few reasons why I'm looking for the right solution is that this will be a floating screen so there's a lot of vibration stress due to the bumpy ride and awkward weight distribution.

Hoping there's some solutions out there but not opposed to crafting my own mounting frame either. Right now I'm looking at a combination of the attached pictures where I use the side metal brackets that can screw into the interior of the aftermarket plastic bracket of the other picture.

Thanks y'all and appreciate the support I've been getting so far!!

I installed a Sony XAV-AX8500 with a giant 10" floating screen and didn't use any special brackets. I had purchased a Metra 99-6503 trim plate, but didn't even use it

Haven't encountered any issues with it bouncing about.
