Not to get everyone's hopes up. Not a complete install yet. Lot's of incomplete info on my 16 touring.
What's confirmed and working. Metra harness 70-7903 was required for my CX5. It is located next to the glove box behind and above the kick panel. Had to add extensions for all of the wiring to kenwood unit in the dash. Metra 40HD10 antenna adaptor also worked and is located in the same area. Idatalink Maestro RR is connected to ODBII port and telematics info from the vehicle is being shared with the DDX unit and displays nicely! I removed the Mazda GPS antenna and replaced it with the Kenwood GPS antenna under the center channel grill. This works great for gps and keeps it out of sight.
I purchased my CX5 in 12/2015. I don't know if that makes mine a 2016.5 or not. I purchased the Mazcam6v......which does not directly connect to anything behind the factory infotainment system and I would really like to keep the factory back up camera. Nothing reliable on the video wiring into the OEM infotainment system at this time.
I have been informed that the steering wheel interface wires for the RR are the following. SWI input 1 - Pink / blue wire, SWI input 2 - green / orange wire, SWI ground feed output - Brown / white wire all located on a 29 pin connector possibly in the dash in pins M, N, & O.
And last, but not least the dash kit doesn't fit with the factory trim bezel.

I'm open to suggestions.
