It wasn't clear to me that I had to splice into the car's steering wheel wiring harness. Now that I know I can go ahead and install this bad boy. Thanks.

Has anyone installed it in their 2012 yet and how difficult was it? I just bought one but I just can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I ended up using a bolt that was holding up a hook in the rear of the car. I might switch my 12v power to the cig light like you did though.

I'm installing an amp in my 2012 5 this weekend. To those who have installed in amp in their 2012s, where did you ground the amp? I've been looking and really haven't found a good spot that is easy to access.

What's the brand of the dash kit you used and where did you buy it?

Just finished creating a dash mount for my Nexus 7. It took me four tries to get it right. It's not perfect, it can use a little better sanding but I just wanted to get it done so I can stop staring at the large hole in my dash where my stereo is supposed to be. When I first bought my car last...

I just bought the Scosche MA1548B dash kit from Sonic Electronix for 2012 Mazda 5s. I am buying the Pioneer AVH-P3300BT instead of the Pioneer AVH-P6300BT tomorrow at Best Buy. Hopefully I will receive the dash kit by the end of the week so I can install it over the weekend. I'm toying with...

Has anyone done this yet? Just bought my Mazada 5 and I am seriously considering doing it very soon either by myself or by professional installers with a Pioneer AVH-P6300BT. Not sure how it's going to look since the 2012 dash with the stock radio is not completely symmetrical, the radio isn't...
