Default Anyone have Metra Din kit for RX8??

I'm starting to debate about getting this...

Wondering if any of you have this and also got the steering control to work with it.

Also, where is a good place to buy this?

Hints on installation?

Any info would be appreciated

installer.com has them for like $180.00

Corksport has them for like $450.00

If you have climate control I think it makes a difference. Corksport has some good info on their site.

Default I have the kit

I had it installed 3 days ago. I think it looks amazing and posted the pic on the other forum. So, for your viewing pleasure I"ll post it here as well. Let me know if you have any questions. The double din I had put in is a JVC KW-AVX820. Very nice piece of electronics.

I actually bought this kit but haven't installed it because I thought I'll be selling the car.. But since I'm keeping it, I'm going to use it..

Any suggestion on which head unit to go with?? I guess double din with or without Navi..

Kevin, I'm going to check out your avic900bt

I have this kit and the eclipse avn-62d and I love it. I would not go back to stock. I also have the fast running clock but I don't really pay attention to it so I just reset it every few weeks when it gets to far a head. I had thought of getting the cable and updating but I haven't had the time to mess with it lately.
