I have the same problem with my headunit also. Jut takes a little extra force to get it past the trim.

 

But how do we fix it?

 

i jus had my deck stick out a lil more i can take a pic for u 2marow it doesnt masively stick out but jus a tad, but i did have 2 cut away at the trim a lil around the hinged portion of the faceplate

but yea i would like 2 push my deck back in it there is a fix but not a big deal/bother

took at nite with a cell phone and maglite, better pics 2marow

 

When i had mine i removed the trim from the radio itself and it looked factory. It looks like it shouldn't come off but the little black ring on the housing is the culprit, remove that and it will fold out flat no problem. I would post pics but i have my new IVA-W200 installed now and the radio is in storage.

 

can u elaborate a lil more, im still havin trouble understandin wat u did

 

There is a little black trim ring around the front of the unit. It is actually connected to the metal case and is a bitch to pop off. Once you do that the HU can be pulled slightly farther out so it clears everything without trying to push your subaru trim out of the way.

what headunit is this? I'm looking for something to match the green lights in the dash....

I just put mine in up top in place of the compass/guages

 

Hey JDMPREZA713 I have the exact same head unit.

I installed mine in the lower position though. I prefer it there personally.
Not a single problem with catching or binding on anything. I did try the upper pocket for grins, and it binded on the dash trim when opening. So, I just went to the lower pocket where I was used to it anyway.

As for the trip piece.. Like Jersey, I don't use one. It looks factory without it.

 

O ok
Was I suppose 2 transfer that black trim cuz I didn't

 

Like Skidd, I just switched it with the DIN pocket below it. Works like a charm, and it doesn't get much easier.
