Works great, simpler than it looks

Worked exactly as intended. instructions were pretty straight forward and clear. There was some flashing on one of the clip brackets that I had to trim down to get the clip to seat fully, non issue though, just a bit of fiddling.

Aweful install

So I purchased this kit skeptically because of the cost. I was thoroughly impressed with shipping time and the tech support I received was phenomenal. However I was thoroughly unimpressed with the quality and finish of this product. For the amount of money that I paid for this product I found myself drilling out holes to make them fit. Cutting and fabricating things I don't believe I should have been cutting and fabricating for the cost of this product. Once it's in and installed, yes it looks good and it's a clean finish. However it is not something I would recommend that someone with little Automotive experience purchase and install. I found myself resoldering parts of the brand new harness I received because when I needed to disconnect connections from the access box they were so tight because the lack of quality and took so much force to remove that I found myself breaking or stripping wires which I do not believe it is acceptable again for a product at this price point. I'm very disappointed with Crutchfield that they would allow such a low quality product to be sold for such a price. I was full well intending on purchasing the rest of my sound system from Crutchfield but after purchasing a product that almost had a 5-star rating and getting what I got I'm having a difficult time rationalizing spending more of my hard-earned money on products that I have no idea what the end quality is actually going to be.

Great kit. Never installed an aftermarket unit before. Always left it to a shop. Manual was thorough (also props to the RX8 forum for all of the great info). Had a terrible time getting the Axxess adapter to fit in the dash. Also, a harness prewired with RCAs for those wanting to install a head unit with internal amp to the existing Bose setup would be a nice option. That said, I am very pleased with this kit. It was relatively easy to install, it looks great with the factory plastics in the dash, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to throw a new unit in their 8!

Looks good so far. While wiring I found a problem that is documented online. Two pins need to be moved in the auto connector. Also the hazard flasher doesn't work smoothly because it mounts a little off.

Great dash kit!

This kit looks great in my sons RX-8. Installation was a little challenging with the size of the interface and the addition of a steering wheel control module as we had to modify the dash a bit behind the head unit to get everything to fit. Other than that, it was an easy installation! Would recommend this kit to everyone regardless of your skill level.

Face plate

It is a bugger to get in because of the limited space behind the unit. This uses a axxess adapter. Steering wheel control works but I had to work for it. Once installed though it looks and works great

I replaced my factory car stereo adapter with this and it fit perfectly. I would recommend this product to ANY RX-8 owner looking to install any aftermarket Head Unit.
