Im starting to look @ after market infotainment systems. Mainly because the GPS software in the mazda Nav system sucks, hate having to wait 3-5 mins for bluetooth audio to start working (Why can't you play music while you are downloading my phone book, and why are you downloading my phone book EVERY TIME I connect with bluetooth?! grrrr) , and it looks like Mazda is not going to support CarPlay (even if they do doubt the will upgrade old systems)
So Pioneer will be selling/upgrading aftermarket systems with CarPlay support. most of them are 7 inches but I don't believe those will fit into a CX-5, (looks like width needs to be 6.5 or under)
AVIC-5000NEX is 6.3 width and has support for backup cams.
I would like to install the system myself (though I have almost 0 experience doing this other than helping a friend install a radio in his Fiero in high school 30 years ago)
How hard is it to install an aftermarket system in a CX-5? There are allot of connections going on, back up cam, USB, Sirus/XM radio, mic, GPS antenna.
Will all of these work? and is there anything in the stock Nav system that I will be losing?
