Double Din Install Kit - or no?

Does one exist today?

I own a 07 CX9 with Gradn touring, but not bose/nav technology package...i figured for the extra 6k i could do a really nice pioneer in-dash dvd/nav with rear headrest monitors...problem is no one has designed a double din install kit kit, or have they? how long does this sort of thing take to bring to market?

thanks guys.
 
So I talked with Colin from Metra today while at Spring Break Nationals in Daytona today. I got the same answer as the previous poster about it bieng integrated. I explained it wasn't and he asked me to send pics and possibly let them hold my radio to do what they need to do. In return I will get to "TEST" the 1ST one.

I will send him the pics tommorow and keep you guys posted on the progress as well as pics when I get it of a single din and double din installed!
 
UPDATE...
I recieved this email today (less than an hour of sending pics)

also included is my email with a link to the pics I sent him of the radio un installed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks a bunch Rickie! I will get some parts a.s.a.p. and start the
design process. Please keep in mind that this process will take several
months and depending on upper management decisions, could take more.
I'll be in contact with you during it all.

Colin,

I hope I got your name right and am sending this to the right address.
My name is Rickie, I spoke to you at SBN on Sunday about the kit for a
Mazda CX~9. I have a link to my photo gallery just look under radio and
there are 25 pics. If you need more or a specific shot just let me know
and I can usually upload it with in an hour or so.

I have also included a link to four threads on the main Mazda forum
where people have asked for a kit. I posted that you will be working on
one soon and I will relay all conversations we have to keep them in the
loop.

If you need me to I will ship you my radio if need be to help.

The only bad thing I have learned is that if you change the radio you
can not change the time that is on the display up top. Feel free to
contact me via email or phone I recieve my emails on my phone and will
reply within an hour.

Hello folks,

I went to my dealers today because of a custom nav system they built in a new CX-9 here in Holland.

Only thing missing is the way to change time on the clock and there is no longer info on the media being played (obviously).

I'll keep you posted when I get prices, specs etc.

The used system is a pioneer avic 700. The dealer told me almost every pioneer or kenwood system should work with the steeringwheel interface used in this.
