    Hello i am currently swapping old headunit for etune 3.0 I cannot get my new premium bezel to go on. The top holes are not lining up they are underneath the holes, is the headunit sitting too low?

    From what I can tell it looks like the brackets are on upside down\on the wrong sides making the head unit sit way too low in the opening...

    I don't know. I'm just telling you what it seems like. Are there any other holes that those brackets can be fastened to in order to raise the head unit up to proper location?

    I agree with you it is too low and that’s what I’m trying to figure out the mounting brackets are off an og etune. Not sure if that matters but i think those are the only holes it fits in

    I would at least try removing the brackets and seeing if they fit on the opposite sides of each other or various other holes. It's just a couple screws, might take 2 mins to check all the possible bracket orientations.

    You probably have to drill some holes on the brackets.

    I assume your new Entune3 didn't come with the brackets and you swapped the Entune 2 head unit brackets to the new head unit.

    This is the one I got, which came with brackets. Notice the bottom of the face are almost lined up with the brackets.

    GPS unit is an option on these head units. If the vehicle is ordered with it, there will be a secondary box attached to the bottom.

    Sorry, I didn't take pictures of the side.
    Only took this one to send it to AHH for the adapter harness.
