They are very well put together, better than the crappy bmw mini.

The radios in the mazda 2 are fitted in exactly the same way as the RX8, two 10mm bolts at either side.

the RX8s i've took apart only ever had 1 10mm bolt , accessed from the gap between steering column and lower dash trim, oh and the removal of other bits of trim, gear kn0b , ashtray and various screws :(

not even seen a Mazda 2 yet and i'm supposed to be the Mazda technician :confused:

I think ive done about 3 rx8s now. all i remember had one 10mm bolt either side :confused:

one like you say accessed from the gap between the steering column and lower dash trim and the other accessed when the glove box is removed.

That said i aint a technician and prolly dont know half what you do ric

How come you havent seen a MAzda 2 yet........ they must be bloody relieable then if the technicians dont see them

I quite fancy a mazda 2 now after driving that one yesterday. Cabin is very welcoming and the engine is as sweet as anything.

Ingits at bmw

Its not the worse desgin every seen. thinks back to mk1 renults megans, where to fit a stalk adaptor you had to remove the whole top of the dash to get to the display. Being very careful to avoid the passenger airbag

Being a renualt it only had 2x T20 screws holding it in tho

Is that a black 16v inlet manifold i spy sat on the passenger seat????

Give us a shout if you need advice But i prolly guessin youll be fine

The only problems with some of the a4's are the amplified rear systems.

The parrot kills the front speakers ok but the rears keep playing the music:rofl:

Easy fixed on the early audis, just make sure you connect the parrot mute lead up to the correct pin out on the headunit.

New RS4 is a pain, did one the other week and couldnt get it to mute at all. Stupid fiberoptics/canbus mixture

Ta, I've had a parrot on my last 4 cars (self install).

The A4 is running an Alpine 9850Ri head unit, out of my vRS..... luckly my A4 doesn't have the amp'd rear speakers.

You'll need a fakra adaptor for that

Its good not having the amped rears

Had one, still didnt want to know. :(

ah, you may need vagcom as well to fool it into think it has phone prep.

Good idea.

Ive got vag com but i aint taking it to work. The buggers i work for make enough money as it is :thumbdwn:, they can buy their own vag com

The fakra muiltican adaptors as far as i am aware only interface with cars that have the Muilt buttons on the steering wheels.

Normal fakra cars liek the octy II without the steering wheel buttons work fine without the muiltican leads.
