Nobody with a KR and CTS with this issue? That Murphy is a S.O.B.

Only thing I can think of is to move the mounting tabs on the dash pod down. All of the pictures I've seen of the CTS is on trucks without that handle. You could change to a guage mount pillar that has clearance for the CTS but you'd lose your handle.
...or move the handle to under the roof like on the chevys. Then you'd still have a handle, CTS and either a guage mount or regular pillar.

I just modified the adapter plate, check that, cut the tabs off the plate, used 3M 2X sided tape and made it work. Looks good, just will not be able to use the video in port since I had to move the CTS down 3/4" or so to get it to clear the handle. BTW, I can use my mirrors so a reverse camera isn't all that necessary!

Good deal, but you could always drill a hole for the cable to go through if you ever installed a camera.

Nope, it won't work either. Talked to someone at Edge and they said the regular one will work. That was until they went to the parking lot to try it and found out the pod for the 05-07 will not clear the handle on a King Ranch. He also said the 03-04 KR/EX pod is different and will not fit the dash of the 05-07. First he had heard of it. I can't be the first person to put a CTS in a 06 KR.

Here is how it looks with the CTS on. You can see the after and before modifing how it follows the dash at the bottom in the first and last pics. Plastic is NO match for the ol belt sander!
