Metra Electronics 95-7504 Double Din Installation Dash Kit for 2004-2009 Mazda 3 Install Kit, Black, Apple

This was the easiest stereo fit I've ever done. The bag didn't have the cubby that is pictured but that's OK. I would 100% buy this again. Perfect, sleek, and looks original to the car.

Disclaimer: I only used the main piece and the little pocket. I used the mounting brackets that came with my head unit. This trim fits very well. The plastic is not an exact match for the factory plastics, but it’s close enough and does not bug me. Panel gaps are very consistent and match the rest of the vehicle. Installation was very simple on my 2005 Mazda 3.

I had the metra single din for my 2004 Mazda 3. It fit great and matched the centre square of the dash (above the vents/hazard switch) and the climate section. This is the exact same with just a bigger hole. I switched to the double because i mounted my Nexus 7 in my car and an in car entertainment and nav. fits nicely in with no more gap than the stock had. I can't comment on the side plates that screw to a normal double din unit because i used a tablet, but the fascia goes in easily. I glued magnets to the screw holes on top and didn't put the lock clips on the bottom hooks. This way i can easily remove the fascia to get to my tablet and flash drive but it still sits solid in place.

I received my double din dash kit and installed it this weekend with ease. The instructions are sufficient and the fit is actually quite snug; No rattles and it doesn't budge when I push on it. There's about an 1/8" even gap between the climate controls and the dash kit but compared to the stock stereo, it's not really that noticeable (unless you're very anal). I purchased a single din Metra kit ( Metra 99-7504 Single DIN Installation Dash Kit for 2004-2009 Mazda 3 (Black) ) that didn't fit nearly as well but I just got an in-dash DVD unit ( Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD In-Dash Double-DIN DVD Multimedia AV Receiver ) and decided to try Metra again anyway and I don't regret it. My only real gripe with it (which isn't a deal-breaker for me) is the color of the kit doesn't quite match the surrounding trim. In direct sunlight you can definitely tell it's a lighter black (grayish I suppose) but that's only when there's a lot of light on it. But hey, you get what you pay for and this is a great economic solution to swapping that huge stock radio to a nice in-dash DVD/GPS receiver.

I installed this in my 2007 Mazda 3 Hatchback with a Kenwood receiver. This is a reasonably priced kit, but ultimately, you get what you pay for. The plastic is cheap, the instructions were poor, the color doesn't completely match the dash, and there is a small gap between my climate controls and the bottom of the kit (nothing horrible, but I notice it). I could not get the double din trim plate to fit my Kenwood without pushing the receiver back, so I just left it off, but it looks alright. Also, I have an automatic climate control system and the kit does not accommodate the LCD panel, you only receive a display replacement pocket, so I will need to custom mount the LCD panel. Overall, this kit works but I would prefer to spend more money for a higher quality product. Pros: Inexpensive Easy to install (once you figure out the instructions) Cons: Cheap plastic Poor instructions Does not accommodate climate control LCD panel Gap between kit and climate controls Color and texture do not fully match

This kit actually looks very clean. I didn't expect much for the price, but it fits quite well. The texture is different than the factory head unit, but it's still not bad and matches fairly well. It DOES include a bracket to keep your lcd display with the ambient temperature in the correct place, which I didn't expect, as it also includes a pocket to replace the lcd if you want. Overall, a great item if you're in the market for a cheap dash kit.

Great product fit perfectly didn't come with bolts to attach CD player to dash kit everything eles was great did use stock clips off stock CD player on the bottom people saying it doesn't fit right must have done something wrong would recommend to anyone happy customer here.
