+1 on no trimming required. My Avant 1 bottom corners were not trimmed but it still slides in fine. The bottom corner trimming is more for a cosmetic improvement rather than functionality.

Keep us posted on the performance and any issues you may or may not run into.

Are the corners rounded... or are they 90 degree angles?

If they aren't rounded at all... I'd consider it 100% necessary. I tried to slide my unit in and once it got to the corners would not go in without forcing it in... and it would leave a terrible gap as well. That's something I could not live with... but I have OCD so YMMV.

Glad to hear the Avant 1 worked out for you OP. You'll have to update with your feelings on it after you get the USB wifi adapter and live with it for a few months.

Apologies for the late reply. The Avin 1 does cause a slight gap, but nothing really noticeable.

I just received the Avin 2, with the bottom corners rounded off. Gap is eliminated and so far no issues. I will see if Tommy wants to start an official Avin Avant 2 thread on the electronic forum and I will post my thoughts and experience there.

This thread should also be moved to Mobile Electronics Thread.

After reading some of the replies after my installation, I noticed that there was indeed a very slight overhang. So after tracing the rounded opening, I shaved and rounded the corners just a little bit and it clicked right in. I have no overhang and absolutely no gaps, looks 100% OEM!
