I’m new to the MX5 OC but I would appreciate some advice/feedback re: the above.
I have seen many aftermarket fascia plates to fit my double din Kenwood DNN9150DAB to my 2009 Mk3 galaxy grey 2.0 ltr NC Roadster - but most never seem to be a good colour match - but I have seen a genuine Mazda on at MX5parts.co.uk - that is expensive but would obviously be a perfect match for the dashboard etc.
My question is - if anyone has any experience of this - the genuine Mazda item is designed for a 1 din radio plus cubby box - if I removed the centre dividing bar would this give me a standard double din aperture or failing that does anyone know an aftermarket fascia that is a near perfect match for the dash colour please ?
Morning Kim, I have the other offering from mx5Parts, the aftermarket one that comes with all the parts for single or double din? It’s a great match colour wise, fits fine and does the same job at a lesser price? Remember you need to factor in the connector leads when you change from the original radio unit and a patch lead for the steering wheel controls. I fitted a single din unit with a 7" motorised screen, the “cubby” sits nicely below, providing an additional bit of storage, front and centre.
I’ve just had a Kenwood 7017DABS fitted by Halfords who did a great job for only £50 fitting fee. They used a Connects2 facia and it matches perfectly. That part cost £60 and the steering wheel control / DIN adapter was another £60 by Autoleads.
