2013 Mazda CX-5
So I am 100% happy with my choice to get the Sony XAV-AX100 but I am not happy with the aftermarket installing kit for the Mazdas. I don't really think you have a choice but my screen is so sunken in the dash its not even funny. I can hardly use the volume knob because of its sunken design. I lined up the screws right so there is no other way to install this unit. Has anyone else had this issue with their CX-5 and aftermarket stereo?

I got the CX-5 dasj kit from crutchfield.ca <- link to product I bought. It is not the end of the world but it looks really sunken into the dash.

I don't remember, which one it is, I have purchased it, 4 years ago.
Yours, seems deeper than mine.
 
Hey,
Can you send a picture of the kit you bought? Does this include an electrical connection? Radio adapter? Control from the steering wheel?
thanks.
 
You will have to buy them, all separately.
Metra makes a dash kit, you will need an antenna adapter for FM, which is a Honda antenna adapter, wire harness and a PAC, or Axxes steering wheel adapter.
