Default Pioneer 8400..flip down face, will it fit?

I did a search and found a post from a guy that said it fit fine with no problems, there were even pics but they didn't work. But I also found a lot of people saying it wouldn't fir during the search. So who do I believe? Obviously if a guy has pics of it in his car working, then I guess he's right.

Anyway, I have this unit, and just wanna know if it will fit in an s2000 if I get one.

Thanks!

Not sure if this means a lot but I just installed a Pioneer DEH-MP940P and it fit just fine. This is the Premier version of the 9400 and is a very slick HU. I think you are right- The front face of the 8400 does slide down further than my 940P. If the 8400 does not work, give this HU a chance if you want to stay with Pioneer. It's gonna cost you though as its not cheap! Good luck!

Ya...I know the 940/9400 will fit. Just wanna know about the 8400. The guy PM'd me and said he did a little modification so that the HU tilted upward. This allowed the face now to hit the bottom when it came out. Claimed it was easy to do...
