I have a 2021 CX9 that has it factory installed. My 2017 mazda 6 didn't have it so I installed it myself. Bought the equipment on ebay for $148 and put it in. Took a out an hour. Literally 2 screws a d the rest are clips. It's absolutely INSANE to pay $450 to have it installed unless you're COMPLETELY not mechanically inclined. Mazda is offering update to some others there radios at the dealership for about $150. I have a 2014 6 GT with the Tom Tom radio and was told mine is not able to be updated. But I am looking for a head unit replacement that will keep my seating wheel and console controls working if someone has ideas. [deleted] • 4 yr. ago.
