Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nearly perfect! As if.

Of course I've only had this radio for a week. I'm in the process of converting my 88ft Rx-7 and Mazda hardly supports dual din unless you want bespoke great stuff of all kinds. I ordered this radio. Shipping was incredibly fast and it was neatly packaged. The wiring harness fits, and I've confirmed functionality by connecting it directly to the battery. My factory dinnerware was a rat's nest with no color coding, so it took a bit of research. When I finally found a constant 12v power supply and hooked it up to the radio wiring harness, all of the yellow wire came out of the wiring harness that came with that radio. This was a minor inconvenience since I had a lot of wires, but the extra hassle of removing, reconnecting, and re-insulating the pin and extra yellow insulation was a little depressing. In the end I decided to just build myself a new harness. Since this is a drift car I don't need a lot of features so I ran the yellow wire straight to the 15A backup battery, grounded the red wire to the socket on the radio fuse under the dash and grounded to the ground stud. It works out! Now to the installation. Once again, Mazda's retro sports cars offer little support, but I found a dash kit. Installing the radio required a bit of modification as the screen is a BIT (about 1/8 inch) larger than a normal single noise. The Dremel tool made the job easy and it rotated instantly. The radio came with an aluminum cage with grommets to keep it in place. They worked better once I bent them. After the dash was installed and I wanted to replace the center console trim, screen size came back into play. It was SIMPLY too big to fit properly, but the Rx-7 has removable tabs on the center console bezel. I deleted them but I still have a gap. Tomorrow's project is to cut out the black plastic and make a new bezel for the console's factory trim. I bought this radio based on the reviews and features. Since I only started it tonight, my rating may change. For now, I'm happy to have a responsive touchscreen that requires minimal upgrades and custom builds. If there are any problems in a few months I will update this review. At the moment I'm glad I only have one radio. Tl;dr: This radio works. It's a bit off the mark in size so it might need some upgrading and the cable that comes with it is of questionable quality, but the radio itself seems to work well.
