Connects2 Double din kit

Anyone using the Connects2 Double din kit?

The metra kit is total crap and I am really looking to change it. I did consider the janus and mybimmer double din fascia but they mount the nav unit below the AC control. Thats too low for me.

The second link seems like a real install. Its does seem to fit better than the Metra one.

Metra kit requires that you drill 2 holes at the bottom of the dash to seal off the fascia but that requires the A/C control unit to be pushed in too hard and it seals the bottom buttons on the A/C control off.

Instead I used a long zip tie and tied the botton of the fascia to the existing holes in the dash (screws that were taken out for the stock head unit). That works much better and I dont have to drill holes. It is completely invisible as it is under the fascia.
