It did not say (on Amazon) if it comes with the HU mount brackets, I would assume it does.

I screwed the pooch by not thinking about the size of the HU vs the opening of the dash. I emailed Scoche and they replied very quickly with dimensions of the opening. Then I went to Kenwood and got the exact dimensions of my HU, which are quite smaller. I just hate the filler peice that came with the Metra, is is shinier than the dash... I guess I'll buy another HU with a bigger screen like yours and put this one in another vehicle lol! Thanks for the advice!

Like I said before just because you only have a 6.2 screen the overall outside dimensions are the same as an HU with a 7" screen. If you like your current HU then get a Scosche dash kit and you won't have to use the trim.

It comes with the tabs that screw onto the side of the new HU. It should fit with the Scosche, regardless of the actual screen size (7" or less, its the HUs outter diameter that matters....) , Im positive the Scosche will work. Unless you bought a HU, with a screen larger than 7"!

Odd, I have Windows 10 on 64bit version. No issues, flashing my Maestro module...
