For those of you interested in this upgrade, I did this a couple years ago to my leased 2015 CX-5. Recently turned in my lease, and have all the wiring you need, including a backup camera harness I purchased (tried making one myself and didn't go so well). I'm selling it in the marketplace here...

I am selling the below items for a double din aftermarket stereo install in a Mazda CX-5. I followed this forum to do the install. $75 with free shipping. Traded my lease back in, so need to sell. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Double Din Dash Kit Wiring Harness Radio...

I went with the flat black option and really like it. Although, I have the 2015 Mazda CX-5. I dipped mine without taking off the tires. Let me know if you have any more questions.

jlcpremier, I just wanted to say thank you for this thread. I was successfully able to install my 4100NEX and backup camera adapter this past week and am loving it. Thanks!!

You have to make one yourself. It's pretty simple to do. I used this tread. I've never soldered before, and I was able to do everything in an hour or two. Parts are inexpensive too. I didn't make the pins long enough, and had to tape the plugs on to something to get it to hold. So make sure you...

Slick. I purchased mine from eBay, and am still waiting to receive it. Might have to cancel and go with Crutchfield if they don't mail it soon.

Where did you purchase your PAC RP4-MZ11?

Ah ok, thanks for the reply. I'll have to do some more research to see how much it would cost here in the states.

I like it! Approximately how much did the parts cost in total? Where did you source your parts?

So you sacrifice 1 fob, but can install an aftermarket remote start system like the Drone Mobile or Compustar, and don't have to carry two fobs, correct? If my car is remote started with an EVO-ALL, will the door unlock buttons be operational?

Ah ok. Thanks for the response!! I've read similar pricing for the 2016 grill. I've also seen a tutorial on YouTube about how to remove and install the bumper. Doesn't look like a difficult job. Hopefully the brackets are interchangeable, and can just use the existing ones.

The Mazda CX-5 does not come with a subwoofer. I think you need to get the CX-9 to get the subwoofer. You can upgrade the head unit with a PAC RP4-MZ11, and install aftermarket head unit and subwoofer. I personally love the Bose system with an aftermarket head unit. I had a 2007 Chevy Silverado...

Has anyone looked into this swap recently? I have a 2015, and am not a fan of the grill. I love the 2016 grill. Not concerned with the fog lights. I'd really like to know the price of this installation.
