Introduction
While the specific truck in the video guide does not have a center channel speaker in the dash, this mount works flawlessly in trucks that do have it, and installation is the same across all 'updated dash' 2023+ Super Duty trucks. This straightforward install requires some painless drilling, and should only take 15-20 minutes using the tools listed below.

Instructions
1. Remove the rubber insert from the dash tray and remove the two 7mm bolts. Note: if you're truck comes with the center dash speaker, you do not need to remove the center channel bolts.
2. To remove the dash tray, begin in the back with a pry tool and gently lift the tray up by releasing the clips. Sometimes the clips can break during removal, no worries, we include extras in the hardware kit.
3. Position the bracket of the dash mount in the tray, there is only one way that it fits. Mark the drill holes, remove the bracket, and drill out the holes with a 1/4" drill bit.
4. Install the bolts, nuts, and washers to secure the bracket to the dash tray using a 3/8" Wrench and 1/8" allen key.
5. With the lower bracket installed, reinstall the dash tray in the truck. Begin with tucking the front of the tray under the head unit trim and then work your way around. Push down to engage the clips again.
6. Position the top piece of the dash mount in place, and loosely install the screws. Once everything is aligned, tighten down.
7. You can configure it with the top plate installed or un-installed. It is much easier to do with the top plate un-installed.
Note: The piece you drilled can be replaced from the dealership should you absolutely need to reverse the install.

Super easy install. This is way easier than the F-150 dash mount. The only thing that needs to be worked on is why it’s higher on the passenger side. On the video you can see how it also ended up higher on your guys end.
Hey Mario,
We actually noticed the very same thing in our 3D laser scanning of the dash. The dash tray and the dash itself is not perfectly level, there is a slight slope as you move form driver's to passenger sides. We chose to split the difference of the slope and provide you all with a level dash relative to the horizon rather than matching that slope. We could adjust the design, but then the dash mount would not sit level, all of our offerings currently sit level to the horizon.
Hope that info helps!
