Default Where To Mount A Sirius Sportster 5 In A 2010 Accord

I am getting ready to hardwire my Sportster 5 in my 2010 Accord and am having trouble finding a place to mount it. I am using a universal mount that i got in a Sirius professional install kit that I bought from Crutchfield. I have a picture below. I am unsure where to put this mount since the dash of a 8th gen Accord is so contoured. if anybody has any ideas or has installed a mount just like this please let me know! I am not really high on cutting any panels or anything but if it has to be done it has to be done. Thanks ahead of time!

Jon

what i've done is use a radio back strap that secures to a factory screw (usually behind a trim panel). then this back strap bends as necessary to come out, turn, and support the radio bracket you pictured.

basically, remove the four screws that hold the bracket to the base, then screw the mounting bracket to the new backstrap.

this way you only need one mounting screw that can be hidden behind a trim panel.
