Review on πŸš— Metra 95-7510HG Double DIN Dash Kit: Perfect Fit for 2004-2008 Mazda RX8 Installation by Shawn Quick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall great product

So let's get started this is a great device well worth your time and money. One thing I wasn't aware of when I bought it was that it comes with a separate control box for your air conditioners to change the screen over your vents. That wouldn't be a problem, but the cables they give you to connect to this unit are pretty short, and it took a minute or two to install the whole thing under the driver's side dash. All the controls are functional and this control box no longer shows the radio station, CD and title, instead you can type your name or whatever you want to type in there. Outside temperature and time are still displayed and are now also set with the AC buttons. One thing that cost me another minute and I hope can save someone else's time is that the white clips that fit into the dash on the back of your standard stereo have to be used on that part to secure it to fix. The last thing the lip on the inside of this face was resting against my head unit so it wouldn't snap all the way in, so I just cut off the inside lip and now it fits perfectly. Pros: 1. Excellent quality, everything works as described2. Fits perfectly in the standard position of the stereo and looks neat. The control unit stores everything related to the air conditioning and the display. Cons: 1. To be honest my only real downside was that I wish the lines to the control box were longer otherwise it would have been 5 stars.
