AVIC-D3 install with Corksport RX-8 Kit
Well, the time has come. Corksport finally released the working version of the dash kit for our cars. Today at about noon, I received my kit. I was like a small child on christmas day, tearing into the package. I ordered the kit in Piano black, without the steering wheel controls, and without the Bose adapter (even though i use to have bose, the non bose adapter works fine) Here is a picture of what is included:

I have the unit installed, but the car isnt back together yet. So far I am extremely pleased with the product that Corksport has produced. *The A/C and Heater both work flawlessly *The Piano black finish is a perfect match to factory *You do retain all the A/C functions on the LED screen, but you do loose the clock (no biggie, the nav unit is easily read) *The installation instructions are extremely easy to follow. It is now 1:47Est. I am planning to be up and going at 9am to finish the install. At that time, I will post more pics of the final product, allong with scans of the instructions. Hope the pics I did post will hold you guys off for a couple hours haha |
Thanks for the Pictures Cant wait for tomorrow so I can see the Instruction Scans and more Pictures.

And to think getting rid of our stock HU only took four years!
|
If I have the OEM Nav will it still function? I would like to do something similiar if possible.

|
Is this theft proof?

hmm, I can't see any pics. Crap!
Thanks for letting us know the Corksport kit works, tho. I wish I had the dough for it now |
That looks like the AVIC-D3?
Did you have to order an accessory part for the vehicle dynamics? Can't wait till this is finished!!!!! |

rx8guy86, do you want to set up a group buy with corksport since you have an ongoing relationship with Corksport? If so, put me down as #1 on the list... If not I can try to set one up. Who do I contact?

rx8guy do the controls on the steering wheel work with the new unit you installed????
|
I'm actually the final guy to talk to about setting up Group Buys. I'm emailing CorkSport right now with a link to this, going to ask them to get a GB going here :)
