Standard radio head-unit to LCD interface version

[dragonsback79]

Can anyone shed any info on if I am able to install a unit like this:

into my standard head-unit (I have a sport trim level CX5, standard radio)

What functions will I have and what will I not have?

Thanks ahead of time!

What year CX-5? It would work on MY 13-15, but not on a 16.

The unit is designed to be a plug and play.
Looks like it retains your factory steering wheel controls.
It does not picture the USB adapter or an aux adapter. So it looks like you would lose the functionality of those plugs in your center console. (Adapters can be purchased to retain those)

Usually the biggest thing with these off-brand Chinese units is reliability. Also the interface can be confusing and glitchy as well.

IMO I would spring and spend a few more bucks and get a quality name brand unit IE: Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood etc.
