    Mazda3 double din kit

    I know a lot of people fabricate the single din metra kit to fit there mazda 3 but has anyone ever bought this off ebay and tried to put a screen in it?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDA...6630QQtcZphoto

    my greater concern is if anyone could answer why this is soo much more expensive then the single din made by metra.

    Thank you.

    (Hope this is in the right area to post this, sorry if it is not.)

    Did you read the auction?

    For Automatic Climate Control air conditioning system

    (For manual air conditioner Please check Item number: 190003766880 )
    They know they've got a niche market and they charge more. If it's really worth it to you, you'll shell out the cash and they know it.

    Advantage: less dremeling, able to keep the OEM LCD without making a mount.
    Disadvantage: With the single DIN after dremeling it out to double din you are left with a "shelf" which is convenient for building your screen into.

    Edit: HOLY GOD THATS EXPENSIVE...you could upgrade to a motorized single DIN screen for that price....

    Currently: Enjoying the setup, but always contemplating my next move...

    No, Xenarcs are 800*480 native not 480*234. That'd be 2400*480 in dots.
