Default 06/07 Ram Aftermarket Stereo Installation

I am being told by a major on-line electronics retailer that the 06/07 Rams can't have an aftermarket stereo receiver with a fold-down type face due to the bezel design. They indicate that there is a lack of clearance which prevents the fold-down function from working properly.
Has anyone else had any experience with this?

Yep, I bought a JVC avx33 ( I think) and it has the motorized screen, I have to leave it at a slight angle because the dash kit has some clearance issues, I havent had time to trim it up but I think it just needs a little shaving at the bottom of the bezel to make work, Ill try and get some pics of it tonight or tommorrow

I have a Pioneer HU in my 07 and it has a standard fold down faceplate to access the CD player. I have heard the same thing about some of the Hu that have flip out screens, but have no direct experience with them.

They work it just takes a bit of trimming on them. When you install it they will need to make some sort of plate or bezel because of the round ****.
