[cole-3GT2010]

will taking out the original deck with the 6 disk mess with any of the bluetooth or any other controls? has anyone done this yet?

Im pretty sure the bluetooth is integrated into the stock head unit and you will lose it. Try looking for a dvd head unit that also has blue tooth. Good luck

I just installed a double din DVD/Nav on Sunday. You do lose all of the audio based steering wheel controls (there are add on modules to re-implement them w/ aftermarket head units though). Most of the newer double din head units have BT built in, or leave an option for an add on.

This is what we have decided to go with:

Head Unit

Steering Wheel Interface
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_127SWIJACK/PAC-SWI-JACK.html?tp=29778
Talked with PAC it works for the 2010

Got some other stuff being added (more noise) also, letting the existing amp run the existing speakers for now. Upgrading the alternator and battery for the new amp/subs.

Not adding a new NAV, the POS NAV system is in the car and will do for now, if I knew in November what I know now, I would not have gotten the tech package.

Okay, So here is the deal. if you remove the 6 disk changer, you are notremoving the bluetooth module. My car is still sending me requests to pair my phone to the OEM bluetooth, you just can't connect. I installed a Kenwood DNX6960, and the bluetooth on that works great. I haven't bought the steering wheel controls yet, but I shouldn't have any problem integrating that into the connector.

I live in Alaska, so it's pretty hard to find things up here in Fairbanks, but as soon as I get ahold of one, I will slap the pictures up here.

I am really curious on this since Crutchfield is telling me that PAC has not created a steering wheel module for the 2010 Mazda 3 yet. They told me the current module that they have does not work with the 2010. I was asking them about it because I do not want to spend this much money and lose my steering wheel controls.

When I talked with Crutchfield they actually did not know if it would work or if it would not, and really were not to eager to ask the question. Therefore I called PAC to discuss and they stated that he does work. I guess I will find out when I do the install. I would look at some other sites for additional information.
