Here she is after the mods to the original bracket. Here is what it supposedly will look like once completed. Luckily the unit itself is easy to replace and there are several companies that manufacture the same one with different specs. My truck now feels like a 2015+ with a large touchscreen! On top of that, the head unit is responsive and runs apps like a phone. I'm honestly happy this thing fit (with some adjustments). Attached are pics of the before and after.

Where the screen is supposed to sit, there was a metal bracket that holds up the stock unit. Obviously, this thing was made in China without any real r&d. Well that wasn't the case for the mounting part. Upon receiving the item, I was excited and ready to get it installed since it was in theory plug and play. There weren't any pictures online, it was mostly a bunch of half baked photoshop images from sellers.
Let me tell you that I was extremely nervous since I hadn't actually seen anyone do it. After combing through all the negative reviews and one or two positive ones, I ended up pulling the trigger □□♂️. I then did some research and found that Seicane supposedly makes a dash kit that mounts one of there 9 inch Android Head Units and replaces the digital display at the top. I was hoping to bring my truck into the Android Auto/Car Play era with a decent sized touchscreen but as mentioned, the options weren't ideal. It's been mostly a dash kit with a dated double din from name brand manufacturer. I've had my 2009 F150 for several years now and I'd always been looking to upgrade the stock radio but they're been very few options out there.
