this is going to open up a whole bunch of options for most of us who have been holding onto our stock/Bose systems given the cost of a custom center console....thanks for finding this.

Why is EVERYTHING for the RX8 so overpriced? Some plastic, wires, screws, metal bracket, and what appears as a small controler =
$486
Wow...maybe there are more reasons why the rotary engine isn't in alot of other cars. Am I blaming the rotary for an interior electronic part....no not really, but GOSH...what's the justification for such overblown prices for EVERYTHING aftermarket for the RX8.
It's a Mazda...not Rolls Royce...I guess I'm cheap and poor, a bad combo...
Forgive the rant
, it's a long overdo product and if it allows you to keep your steering wheel controls...it's pretty much perfect.
Thanks for the effort and selling such a kit, I know this is a much needed product it's just to rich for my blood.

I am soo glad to see this product emerge. I am in on a group buy. As for the steering wheel controls PAC's SWI-X interface, which I came across on Crutchfield, allows you to use the steering wheel controls in many vehicles to command any aftermarket radio with wireless remote capability

^wow, thanks.....for telling me about that!
My question is...so with this kit, what do you actually lose? Info screen still shows information? Temp, AC...etc?

I had SWI-X on my last car and wasn't very impressed with it. At night it worked like a champ, but during the day the position of the sun had a direct effect on whether or not it worked. It happened so often that I got used to using the radio controls and forgot about the steering wheel controls. Just my .02
