I have a new headunit Pioneer SPH-DA110 AppRadio 3 Smartphone receiver at Crutchfield.com coming tomorrow and I will begin installation this weekend. I also have the Metra Kit Metra 95-7510 Factory Integration Adapter (Flat Black) Install a new double-DIN car stereo in a 2004-08 Mazda RX-8 at Crutchfield.com coming then as well. Total the replacement was just over $400.

My question to all of you is will it benefit to make a video of the installation? I haven't been able to find a full install yet and I think it would be helpful to others if they can see all the steps.

Thanks.

Confirmation that head unit and Metra kit arrived at my front door today. Still wondering if anyone would benefit from a video of the install. I will take the time to do it and post if I get word from someone that they see a benefit. Otherwise, I will just install.

Thanks.

I'd certainly appreciate a video of your installation process. Thanks!

I wouldn't mind seeing one also. Looking forward to what you come up with.

I would also like to see a diy vid on your install. Will eventually do something to update mine.

As an update guys:

I have the wiring in. Radio is working well...The only thing I have left to do is figure out the relay that I got to bypass the parking brake security feature. For whatever reason, the relay will activate when I have the radio hanging out of the dash, but as soon as I put it in (which is a huge pain in the *** due to very little room for a double din headunit with all the harnesses and that stupid axcess box) the relay doesn't seem to engage. It's is super hot in my garage and so I am limited to doing it very early or very late. I was out of town for over a week. I have one week back and then I'm out again. Don't expect this until maybe towards mid/late July.

Painting my rims black too btw. Should be fun. I'll post before and after pics in a new thread. Found this car today...Exactly what I want to do to mine (solid black though in all places, no decals and no silver in the rims except for the Mazda emblem in the middle of the rim).
