Very very clean install, is that a custom dash piece? I would so love to do the same if you can share your secrets.

thanks guys. i used the original piece. i had to cut it though. the screen is a half din lcd from pyle. pyle was the only place that i knew made a half din screen. i wanted to keep the top of the dash as low as a profile i could. ive seen the din size piece and it looks a little to bulky. i just made some L brackets from aluminum and kinda figured how i wanted the unit to sit. then i cut the hole in the cover after i used the calibrated eyeball and ruler. but that left a ugly gap around the unit. so i fabed a fiberglass bezel to fit around it. i just used some double sided tape on the mazdaspeed eblem.

Sweet!!! I figured the Pyle 1/2 din was going to be the cleanest route. Glad to see someone actually do it. Just wish I could have been the first. Oh well, I have been called a lot worse than copy cat. Great Job!!!

everything plays through the factory radio. i used that PIE rca thingy. the only bad thing is i have two remote controls to fumble with. one to control the monitor and the other to control the dvd changer.

That looks excellent. Nice work. But, does that 1 constantly blink when your using hte screen? That would manage to get on my nerves VERY quickly!
