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:
(click all pictures to make larger)
AC Control Module
Wiring Harness
Close up of the Face
Face with the AC ***** and 4-way button installed
Brackets mounted to the Nav unit
If you have been reading the other thread, you guys know I was running late to work today and wasnt able to take pics. 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

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?

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
