I epoxy glued some plastic to the back of the facia. After the epoxy settled I drilled the newly made "ears" and fitted the unit with the supplied bolts

So could you do the same by gluing the fixing brackets to the facia rear?

Or have I got it completely wrong?

You have to remove the plastic L bracket from the radio aperture and possibly cut some plastic to make enough room for the new unit.

Full size DD unit? is that the slim android deckless unit? has no CD mechanism to worry about?

Similar to my 6cm depth DD unit here... There was no need to support the rear of the unit due to it being so light and slim (only 6cm in depth), its a different story with the RunGrace full size CD/DVD unit measuring 16cm.
