Best bet is to install the seat and go from there, but if seat not available I would set it at the same angle as the gauges, since it is on the same plane.

I would think anything from 0* to 10* would be fine. Are you going to leave that flange around the screen?
Just a thought... You might want to consider putting something to steady your hand on while trying to opperate the touch screen. I only bring this up because it drives me nuts trying to use my GPS when I mount it too far from the dash.

You wouldn't have an Alpine would you? Thats the only complaint I have heard about them. I love mine but it has the one year deal with the knob that can be pushed in so it sits flush, great idea except they brake easy
