Mazda 3 - After market stereo

[ashan82]

Dear Members,

Please let me know a reliable place to fix aftermarket stereo to 2004 Mazda 3 which comes with inbuilt outer pannel. Most of the places have branded stereos but separate outer pannel.

Please see sample photo attached. Mine had similar one and display gone recently. Couple of named Audio engineers returned saying beyond repair. Thanks in advance

Car stereo places have brackets that fit like you have said.

You can import one that fits exactly  via ebay/amazon,  http://www.ebay.com/bhp/mazda-3-head-unit

Pumpkin audio and eonon are the two well known brands. 

However other than their aesthetic appeal there is no real benefit from these,  in fact an aftermarket head unit from kenwood, pioneer and other known brands would sound much better.

Thanks "The Stig". Local custom duty for car stereos from eBay is somewhere 200% I guess. That's why serfing local market for same.
