Okay. My car vibrates a lot. Hard to imagine that flimsy motorized head unit on many radios with 7" screen not flapping like crazy. Anyone install one with the Manly engine mounts or other aftermarket engine mounts? If not I think I will go with a single DIN little 3" screen as soon as I find one with preset buttons.

My stock radio loses its presets all the time because I disconnected the battery for some mod or another. Sick of it. Must replace with a radio with backup camera, nonvolatile memory, and satellite radio. (Already have GPS with Dashdaq). Any ideas?
