Scosche wiring harness and dash kit question.

[Eclipse_21]

Hi all, I'm an audio noobie so i got some questions to ask. I've already browsed the forums many times and did some searches but I still couldn't find the answers so maybe someone here can help me out.

I recently purchased the scosche wiring harness and dash kits. The number for the kit is MA1537B, and the harness is MA03B.

I'm pretty sure the dash kit is fine and all but my question is are the B's at the end relevant to anything?

I'm also worried about the wiring harness because it says for 2000 and up mazda's, but i think i read here that we need 2001 and up. I asked the sales rep about it and he said on the computer it shows 2001 and up. Am i good to go with both of these items? It's for use in my p5

Thanks for the help!

ps. what do you guys think of the scosche dash kit? I don't really like how the pocket is so small and there's a little extra peice of plastic up top for no reason.... I was thinking about using the mp3 pocket but i also read that it's very expensive. Is there chance i can find the same pocket (i like the lid feature) or a similiar one for much cheaper? and if i were to use the pocket, would the installation be a bigger hassle because i'm not using the kit? and also would there be gaps using the pocket or would it be a tight fit? I really like the looks of the mp3 pocket but I don't want to sacrifice a good fit for it.

Thanks again!

for the wiring harness....you are good to go...you have the right one.

I have no opinion of the dash kit as I have never used one for the P-5, I still have my stock head unit.

The B seems to be the retailers of the kits addition not scosche. Scosche make a quality product so the dask kit should be good. Metra has several pockets. The kits listed from the P5 and sedan are pockets, I believe i noted it. The MP3 came with a closing pocket which is why it costs so much.

i'm still pondering whether i should look for a closing pocket or just stick with the scosche..... hmmmm!
