Metra kit notes
Got 'er all installed last night. Probably the easiest HU install I've ever done... only a few screws/clips need pulled. I was going to post a How-To with pics, but I was hustling to get it all done last evening. The Metra installation guide that comes with the kit is pretty good. Two variations I found with the Metra installation guide, 1) in the manual transmission there is only one screw to remove under the shifter panel (automatic has 2 screws), and 2) you need to take off the white plastic clips from the OEM face and transfer them over to the spots on the Metra to make a proper snap connection... you'll see what I mean.

Hi Jandree,
I also ordered this Kit for my Mazda 5.
Now i was wondering, like i see on yours pics, does the car's clock and airco information (temperature) still work if the original HU is replaced?
I remember with my Mazda 6, that metra had to solve this issue with an extra electronic board, what made this kit so expensive.

greetings from Belgium,
Tom
