The unit is adjustable for both height and depth. I had it adjusted so that it was just barely forward from the dash face. I never had any issues with the wireless CarPlay.

Looks fantastic, and congrats on the upgrade.

I too just recently had a new Kenwood Excelon Reference head unit installed.
I went with the DMX975XR as I didn't want to have such a large faced unit to contend with.

For me it was a matter of keeping it more concealed/not so obvious as thieves at a glance see an oversized aftermarket head unit and tend to gravitate on it for opportunity.

Regardless, were I to go with the floating head unit it would have been the Kenwood DMX1057XR. Who needs a NAV head unit when you have AndroidAuot/CarPlay ;)

Everything I have read is that these days, bc jvc owns kenwood, they are basically the same units internally.
I don't disagree with this.
Just different esthetics/layout between the two brands for the most part.
Don't know if one uses slightly higher quality tech or not between the two brands and their model levels.

Yeah I have also heard JVCs UIs are a mess.. feature packed but a mess. I mostly will use CarPlay, not too worried about the UI.
