Hey Mate, I've got the exact same unit as yours, two screws into the metal bracket in the roof space where the light sits is enough. The unit is as solid as, doesn't wobble or move. Just a word of advice, wrap some thin cloth or foam around the RCA plugs when leaving them in the unit, as it will rattle and anoy the sh!t out you.

ok an update all installed i secured with 3 screws there is alot of soled mounting area up there just used some self tappers but found that i neede some more suport because i mounted it towards the front of the screen so as the screen was further towards the front just seems like its easwer 2 watch so that made some flex towards the back instead.

the sulotion i cam up with was to weld up a squar outa some flat bar i have luying round to make the frame more ridged and stop the back from saging. works great but i just gota get some sorta black trim to fill the gap between the screen and the roof also swaped the video in and the vidio out around so as the plugs that lead to the roof are the ones that recive video rather then send.

i have managed to not have 2 put any screws there the roof so i can remove with out leaving any damage to the roof lining.

no i gota find the handbrake line and reverse light line so i can hook in the reverse camera and hand break switch for the headunit.
