what do you guys think of my new mod?
 

It took me a little while to make it, but I'm proud of the final result. Hope you guys like it.

I don't care for the MS Logo - but otherwise, it looks excellent! :)

You're my new hero!
That's awesome.
I'm dying to replace the headunit in the center console.
I'm hoping the kit Corksport is selling works out.

If by chance you documented you're work, could you share w/ us what you did?

I relocated the stock H/U to the trunk and moded a bezel from a donor radio.

wow. what's the info on that nav mirror? that thing looks tight!.

Is the cloth cover to the left of the screen permanent or are you still working on it? Otherwise looks nice, but personally I need the entire rear view.

I'm not sure to which cloth You are refuring to but the mirror is an audiovox. the screen is a 5'' lcd. If you turn the monitor off it goes back to a normal mirror.

I see it now. It's a reflection of your jeans. First pic. It looks to me like you filled the gap in the cosole with a cloth. lol.

Ohh, I see it now... It does look like that. It's accually my white shirt you are seein'.

nice very clean setup!! but that mazdaspeed logo needs to go!

wow, that's pretty sweet! Cesar, you need this in your car. :D:

I'm not too fond of the MS logo, unless of course you've got a full MS kit on your car already, then I could see why you'd want it. Either way, if you do have the MS kit, I'd relocat the logo to the back of the car. (like kwescott has)

very clean!

I understand the MS logo because without the factory radio there it looks pretty "plain". The logo is just to break it up a little, right? Perhaps just a standard Mazda badge? Either way it's killer. Congrats!

Do you stock steering wheel audio controls still work?

:spew:

THAT IS AWESOME!!!

More pics! I want to see the trunk where you put the HU!!!!!

That is totally awesome!

No one has figured out the total removal of the HU?

Very nice!!

Yeah, the controls will work both the factory and Alpine radio with a flip of a switch. The factory 6-disc can play through the Alpine as an Aux. input.

Thanx for the complements all. It makes me feel good that you guys approve. I thought that the MS kit is a nice touch (IM0) It didn't quite look right without it. I have a Mazda embelm and test fitted it, it didn't look that great to me.....

think it looks great, im looking to do the same thing to my car, but dont currently have the time to attempt. but nice set up!!!

can you post the link for the audiovox nav unit that works w/ the mirror... thanks!
great job btw...

That's pretty tight. I dig the mirror.

-Cody

Any stand alone Nav unit that has a A/V output and I/R control will work with it, like the Jensen NAV100 or NAV101.

here are some Audiovox units

Hate to be the one, but what was the price range on the flip out screen install in the dash? Atleast a ruff estimate.

bro you took another radio and moded it to this wow thats clean bro very clean i have yet to try to do something to my radio but i want to and whats this big fuss about the h/u why hasn't anyone ever removed it. thanks for the answers late

it would be very nice to have the rear view mirror set up like that. Time to change lanes...oh wait heres the best part of the movie....SMASH!

Well, Counting the $$ for classes I took to learn how to do fabrication?? J/K

Umm... The donor radio i got from e-bay for like $40.00( it was from a wrckt 8), the paint cost $150 from the bodyshop. The actuall making of the kit was a chore.
I have pics and will post them if you guys are interested in seeing it made step by step. You will never believe what I used to fill the holes in with............

^that last part sounds dirty...


btw amazing set up. that mirror is a nice touch
