A note for you, which I found out after I installed it. I placed the unit near the front edge of the dash. With the weight of the cord hanging down, the radio tended to slowly tip forward, as the screws on each side of the bracket couldn’t overcome that tendency, even if cinched with pliers (mic was clipped to the front of the dash).
Place the unit farther back if possible, so that some of the cord can lay atop the dash. Otherwise, you can do what I did - a couple of rubber wedges shoved hard under the radio stopped it from tipping forward. The only side effect was occasionally one or both would work themselves out and fall to the floor, especially on severe washboard.
