2DIN Radio for RX-8 S1 2006

Post by Peterovicz »

Hello everyone! :D

I've a question about 2din radio, which one do you recommend for changing exiting stock HU in RX?
For now I found the connects2 box (previews owner plugged into HU) but it doesn't work when I connect with my phone via Bluetooth.
Firmware is 9.55

If you want to go the double-DIN route then you will need a Metra kit - which isn't cheap :(

And that's before you consider the purchase price of the head unit itself
