Has anyone installed an after-market GPS/Stereo head-unit on their CX-5?

I'm looking into buying a new 2015 CX-5 GT, but my only concern so far is the outdated GPS/Stereo head-unit. Has anyone installed an after-market GPS head-unit?

Pics and a model type would be very helpful. I've already looked on Crutchfield but would like to see photos on a CX-5 to get a better picture. Thanks.

Are you able to use the stock backup camera?

How did the backup camera wire in? Is there a prefab harness? Also I assume you set your car settings before you yanked the stock unit since you can't change anything anymore?

Well, everything is explained on the post of RedBaron... No prefab harness, sorry... And "yes" I've set everything on the stock unit before changing it, but... if u think, they are not vital options... U can live without touching them...

I'll take a look. This is exciting. The stock head unit blows.

Sorry to steel your thread heymrjon. I'm planning to install Pioneer AVIC-960 DAB in my CX-5. Fabry1979, does your HMI commander and USD port (under armrest) work with your AVIC-F60 DAB?

Metra makes a USB adapter harness to retain the factory port. There are wiring schematics to hardware the aux jack as well.

Which is that Metra part number?
I have just installed a Kenwood DNX9990HD.
I'm about to install a side view camera.

Nope. It's actually labeled as a toyota part but many other brands also use the same plug. Part# AX-Toyusb

Edit. On second look. That should work also. They didn't have one for Mazda when I installed a nav in a 2014. We usually stock a few of these plugs in varying styles since they seem to be interchangeable between manufacturers and metra/axxess aren't great at updating their site.

No, arntko... HMI doesn't work.
Regarding USB port under armrest, I decided to maintain it as chargeable option, but I passed two new USB cables from the aftermarket radio to the same place for the USB connection of phones and hd to the Pioneer...

fabry1979, have you used an SWC Adapter, like the PAC RP4-MZ11 ?? I am not sure if the Joystick under armrest will work if using this PAC RP4-MZ11.

Does not work on Touring, since it's going through the Bluetooth box. It may work on the Sport, where there is no Bluetooth box. It connects mechanically, but signal is not going through.

Hi Tibimakai, thank you for the answer but I was not referring to the USB connector but to the HMI Joystick. Do you know if it works?
