    Wow, that looks a lot better in that car than I would have thought. I would have expected it too look too big and out of place, but it doesn't. I'll probably just bite the bullet and get the Heigh10. It does have some cool features, for one the screen is big and looks nice, the toslink output, you can add cameras, it has some performance stuff, vehicle info pages, and without losing anything the stock radio has.

    BTW, that's a pretty awesome speaker install you've got going on.

    installs for different vehicles are all over the place. some installs stick out too far. some are offset too high or too low. some people don't even set the LED colors to match the factory lighting.

    maybe AAMP will make a bowl mount for ram trucks, seems like there's space for it.

    ensure you've got some pick/hook tools around, they'll help removing the screen if you need.

    I would have preferred the Ram kit looked a little more like how they did it for the Jeep Wrangler, with like you described, more of a bowl mount, but it doesn't look too bad as it is. At least it looks centered and doesn't stick out all that far, not quite stock, but not too bad. I think I have some pick type tools somewhere in my tool box.

    I've got the Heigh10, using the variable Toslink out to my C-DSP 8x12 DL. This is in a Wrangler. It looks fantastic, and integrates with all the factory controls seamlessly. I had issues during installation, which turned out to be a defective "Radio Pro Advanced" module from PAC. That really, really sucked to debug, but they were helpful in getting that debugged and getting me a new one.

    as a follow-up to this - there was a software update to the arc ps8pro earlier this year. the heigh10 shows 48k/24b now.

    my dsp shows 48k/23b on toslink from this radio, so any high-res content will get downsampled. toslink generally doesn't do above 96k/24b anyway, so i could see some challenges with high-res.

    the mishmash of incompatible standards and behavior of high-res equipment further destroys any other value i see in it. you know what they say though - if it ain't difficult to use, it ain't sound-quality.

    maybe the high-res stuff will improve over time.

    i haven't tried android auto.
    I know this post is a few months old but just now seeing it and laughing my ass off at the bolded part. Not knocking people who jump through hoops for sq gains that may or may not be audible but personally think it's a silly thing to worry about outside of a top tier sq build.
    They might say "don't try this at home" but nothing about not trying it at your friend's house.

    my usual list:
    - if it's not hard to use, it's not sound-quality
    - if there's no dash mat, it's not sound-quality
    - if you're not laying down, it's not sound-quality
