No, SIRIUS XM tuners WILL NOT work in EU. The chipset in the tuner look for the signal specifically from the SIRIUS or XM sats. in europe it should be WorldSpace radio. http://www.1worldspace.com/

it all depends on what your ultimate goal IS. Do you want Nav? do you plan to built a system? BTW the 514 only has 2 sets of pre-outs. other DD options: JVC KW-XG700 Clarion VX409 - $349 on sale @ crutchfield Clarion CX609 Kenwood DPX303 Kenwood DPX503 Pioneer FH-P8000BT

huh? surprise no one ever answered this for you. When you keep the stock HU it lacks the RCA pre-outs aftermarket radios have. SO, you need to get "hi/lo level converters" that or sometimes certain amplifiers that this level converter built in, that will give you the RCA pre-outs.

The DNX7019 is hella old by comparison! the 7019 has No built in Nav($500 option), no Bluetooth ($150optional), no relay outputs(which you can use to operate your garage door or home security system or lighting), 1 USB vs 2 on the 8120. The 8120 is by far the much superior unit to go with...

Sweet.

Hey, I'm not saying that the Pioneer is not a great offer. It's the best bang for your buck, no doubt. BUT, the 900BT still has a few bugs in it that I don't like, which have now been starting to be fixed with firmware updates. You're obviously a Pioneer fan from your experience with the D3...

The CDSB10's yellow wire and black wire you can tap into the radio harness that goes from the radio to the car even though it says that, it's not drawing much more power. 1) disconnect the harness from the car so that all harness are still attached to radio but not the car. [note :you will...

if you have a stock P5 radio you are supposed to use 2 sets (4 keys total) of the Ford keys on each side [top and bottom]. There is no easy way after that without taking EVERYTHING APART. If they are stuck, wiggle at them until it comes loose.

CIRCUIT- do you have any pictures of your 8120 installed? It should look something like this: Here's what the AVICF900BT looks like, And here's what the the 8120 looks like: And can anyone else post or reference any other Pioneer HUs/ installed in their ride? Personally, I think what I...

mspHtown - just go down to the Fry's in Houston or South Houston and check out the 7120 and the AVIC-F900BT that they have on their indash GPS/XM nav traffic wall. And do the side by side there. You will not be disappointed with either unit. But IMO 8120 ftw because it has ALL the bells and...

It's been done, look on some of the other mazda forums like, the mazda3 forums site

My "it probably is" was just a segway to talk about the DMask line. I was pretty sure it was a 919 and yes evilm you would know especially because it's your car that was in the picture(spin), but again without having the face flipped over it could have been ANY of the Kenwood's Dmask line...

it sounds like it's toast, just get a new one or get that fixed, i've these guys a few times http://www.shortcircuitrepair.com/

It probably is because most Mazdas came with it, but it can also be any of Kenwood's D-Mask line [2001-2004ish]. I had the eXcelon KDCx917 pre-mp3 capable. If you're looking into getting one, just stay away from the 3d-masks.

Are you going to adapt store bought LEDs and modify them for your lights? If that's the plan, to save you time and money just buy the 194 wedge bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com they have the LEDs already wired and set for 12volts and in all different colors. Just to let you know, they might...
