I was at the International Autoshow In Edmonton this week and saw the Mazda Speed for the first time.
I noticed that the deck that they had in the car was the same deck that I have in my car, Kenwood KDC-X859. I was wondering if anyone has investigated the dash kit that they use to house the Aftermarket deck. I Called a dealer in town and they said they wanted about $140 CDN for this kit. That seems a little high considering most aftermarket dash kits go for about $15-20 CDN retail through most stereo shops. Any Advice People?

Much like the rear under-deck amp/sub enclosure, it is probably made specifically for the MSP. A piece like that is going to cost a whole lot. The aftermarket generic one-size-fits-all piece is going to be a whole lot cheaper since they produce tons of it. However, some of them look as bad as leaving the gaps exposed around the head unit. This will probably get more attention and better response if it was in the audio topic.

if you are talking just about the black pocket mounted underneath the radio... then yah its going to cost about 100 bucks from a dealership... if you are lucky to find one in a junkyard it should only be about 20 cdn dollars.. they are in the 99/00 protege's as well as an mp3 and mazdaspeeds.. you will probably find some 99/00 proteges in a junkyard by now...
