So if the brackets dont end up in the right place the brackets wont line up with the slots, and the unit wont go all the way in.

There are a few options, get the brackets lined up better, sometimes not tightening the screws very tight helps as it keeps things from getting warped and allows for some wiggle when you are putting things together....although sometimes easier said than done depending on how far away from "standard" your dash is. OR just cut or bend that part of the bracket back out of the way so that it no longer hits the back of the dynavin. Those slots are basically redundant and dont really need to be there as the head unit is already securely held in a couple other ways as well.

Because a picture is worth a thousand words....


This is a pic looking at the bracket and the BOTTOM of the dynavin, you can see the slot and the part of the bracket that goes into it


This is probably what yours is doing, its slighting misaligned in the dash and is not going in all the way.



This is what it should do when everything is lined up correctly
