i am currently looking at some 2006 mazda 3 MPS's around the traps and will purchase one in the near future.
I am looking to replace the factory stereo with something nicer.
What is the deal with the lcd display above the stereo. When you replace the stereo with one that is not factory does it just show air cond and other information and no longer the stereo information? Is there a particular output or gadget that people use to reinstate the output on the lcd panel if i wish to have it display stereo information on the stereo and the lcd panel?
Also, i take it that there is sufficient room in the dash to install most headunits into the dash after the removal of the standard stereo?
Finally, i will be getting the sports pack model with the bose speakers, etc. are there any specific things I need to worry about with the connection to the amplifier, speakers, etc?
Any information here would be appreciated. Pitfalls, solutions, advice, etc.
Regards, Spyder.
