It does if you're using a flip out screen head unit. They can only work up to a certain angle.

Gota protractor? Sit it flush on the radio trim, and eyeball it to a horizonal line. I almost want to say its more than 20 from what I rememeber. You mightbeable to put something under the rear of the headunit, and tilt it forward a bit.

Its about 40 degrees. Now question is, How will that affect a Fosgate flip-down face CD player?
