the wires are for the suround sound kit, the tv unit, the playstation, the card reader, the handsfree kit, the 3extra amps, the use reader, and the 3 cameras i have hehe. The gauges came 2 month after.

very east, you can buy 1 box to go between the wires and then buy a box tonwire in for the aircon and heating to work.

the controls for the aircon and heating are built in to the mazda stereo ;-)

The steering kit for corksport/kanatech is a joke. Anyone with a brain should not have to use it.

Stereo shop will not do it mate, trust me i looked in to it. it took 4 hour's alone to do the kit. I PM my phone number for you and the full lot cost about £500 to put in kit only by yourself.

Because it sucks and was designed by a monkey without a brain. You're much better off buying a PAC SWI module.

It is so easy to do, but takes time. There is a shed load of space behind the dash for all the other bits too. you can not see any wires in my car or 1 thind out of place. And it still sounds great!
