    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone happen to know if there is an aftermarket bezel to close off the space between the SONY XAV-9500 ES and the dash, similar to the Stinger head unit?

    How did you mount yours? I have to stick my cheek to the dash to see anything behind mine. Sitting in the driver's seat, and it doesn't look out of place to me ... actually looks like it's meant to be there.

    However, this is all opinion and preference. I haven't seen what you're asking about, but pretty sure someone could custom-build one.

    @sempermma I purchased my unit from TrailGridPro in Frederick. I installed it while it was connected to their pre-adjusted mount. I don't have an issue seeing behind it at all. I did talk to the owners and they showed me that they flip the mount upside down, drill out the mounting holes again, and then push the unit as far back as they can. That may be why I don't have any issues viewing it. Then again, your unit looks to be in roughly the same position as mine.
