I think you need to return your car... the steering wheel is installed on the opposite side.

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!
