man, the base oem HU is so terrible, i can't imagine anyone in his right mind would ever want to buy it.
based on that assumption, i decided to rip the faceplate off that sucker by brute force, plastic tabs snapping, buttons flying everywhere. then i superglued the buttons back onto that ***** and use the thing as a faceplate for my aftermarket ddin.
it just hangs in place over the screen and does a passable job of hiding the alpine from outside looking in.
that is more use than any base HU deserves. i threw the rest of the oem HU in the garbage, right where it belongs!

oem HU! rock cod dammit!
