The radio and connection is physically different. Assuming the connection can be adapted it might work. If anyone gets a hold of an 09 indash nav, I'd also love to see if it works.. but at this point I doubt it will.

Why would you want to do this? The nav system is the same 2 dimensional nav system, they just integrated it into the dash, and added stereo controls. Just buy one of the new Metra kits, and hook up a car pc, a lot more functionality, and a lot less cash... Just my opinion

i'm pretty certain mazda actually reshaped the center console panels so that the 09 head unit does NOT fit in an 08 console like a straight drop-in replacement

wait for the Metra double DIN kit and get an aftermarket setup.
