I managed to get a good install in my 2005 Honda CR-V. I had no problem with the seat belt stalks or the fact that the belt emerges slightly forward of the seat bight. Edited to add: I installed it in the passenger-side outboard position. I haven't tried the center yet.
Since the recline block has to be in the forward position when used with the harness, the belt path is not flush against my car's seat back. This makes the fact that the seat belt emerges in front of the seat bight a non-issue (in this vehicle). The top of the stalk does enter the belt path a bit, but that doesn't prevent it from being tightened.
*However*, it did require the trick of reclining the car's seat back, tightening the lap-shoulder belt as much as possible, and then returning the seat back to a full upright position. Without reclining the car's seat back first, I could not get it tight enough.
If pushed, the seat can slide at most 1/4" from side to side. So it is not rock-solid like my RA and MA/DC/BV installations, but it is more than acceptable. Edited to add again: I tried it in my husband's Honda Prelude (no go), but after reinstalling in my car it doesn't budge when I push/pull on it. Yay!
