FWIW, I bought this HU for my 09 with Metra 95-HDIF. In the process of installing now. Mistake was to install the IF before getting the HU. Effectively performing root canal with a dremel tool to enlarge the opening. Should have done that work on the bench.

Trim ring and rubber boot are non-starters. There is no way they can fit into recessed area. The unit would have faceplate outside IF blocking ignition switch. 100% material removed from top and bottom with a 1/4" removed from each side and the corners squared up. I can get the unit to poke through from inside with front panel flush with IF. I need to trim mounting brackets and lock it in and will probably silicon caulk from inside to seal it up. I am pretty certain it is water that killed my factory HU.
FWIW, the metra 95-HDIF also conflicted with my LRS windshield, Viking windshield bags and Polk MM coax speakers. The speakers I can fix with about 1/2 of shim rings and longer bolts but for now I installed without grills. The LRS windshield (Deacon maybe?) had to be trimmed and the Viking bags were new so I'm exchanging.

A quick shot of the Metra inner fairing mod 95-HDIF pre-painted in vivid black with Boss MRCP9685A. I had Android Auto running with maps and Spotify playing. All the reflections don't do it justice in this pic.
