Short ChassisThe reduced depth of the chassis contributes to a weight reduction and facilitates easier installation. Most traditional head units occupy a depth of 6-1/4" or 160mm, which in a double DIN configuration can make installation quite tricky when routing the extra cables involved with a well optioned setup. The KM-M785BW comes in at 2-15/16" or 75mm, making positioning a breeze.
