Ordered a Clarion NX-501a Today
Well, I bit the bullet this morning and went into Audiotech in Tuggeranong and paid a deposit for the replacement sound system for the car today. Getting a Clarion NX-501a installed. Will be linked in with the bose and steering wheel controls and am also having a reverse parking camera installed.
Stuff will be ordered in on Monday, should be there Tuesday, but they have asked if I can wait till the following week for the install as they are busy. No big drama as I have to wait till pay day for some more money and definitely don't want them to rush it. Will post some pics once it is installed.....

This type of update hasn't been covered much for the GENII's.
Lots of pics and details of the functions will be very interesting.
The stereo in the car is ok, but sounds like this system should be superior.
The reverse camera had cropped up a couple of times. I this I need a front one now as well

Hey Brad,
Sure..... I more than likely won't be there for the install, but will make sure my camera is charged and in the car and will get the guys to take pics as they take out the factory unit and install the Clarion. Considering I have been going to the same place for about 20 years for car audio, pretty sure that they wont mind......
Rang them today just to confirm that they had everything for the install, as I have read that you need one module for the steering wheel controls and one for the Bose, and this is what they have:
NX-501A
Dash Kit - fascia plate and brackets
Antenna Adapter
Clarion Lead for the steering wheel controls
Reverse Parking Camera
and the interesting part - a Mazda Interface Kit.
Apparently, this Mazda Interface Kit (and I have not been able find it on the net) allows them to link in both the steering wheel controls and the Bose in one module. I said to them that I thought you needed one for each, but he said he has researched it, and even their supplier said that is all that was needed, and this Mazda Interface kit is all that is needed.....
But yeah, the pics and write up will be up next Thursday evening......
