Better than stock HU in '06 NC MX5 Miata
Just installed this today in ‘06 NC MX5 Miata; better than stock, so far so good. My 2006 NC Non-Bose came with nice new Rockford Fosgate speakers in the doors, but the OEM head unit just couldn’t drive them enough. Some music / podcasts were barely audible even with the volume knob all the way up. Dramatic difference in volume, especially with Bluetooth music. Much better bass response even with EQ settings untweaked. I picked this one because it was relatively cheap, but offered HD Radio which sets it apart. It’s the next best thing to having satellite radio because it also gives extra channels (similar to HDTV), but for free over-the-air. It’s a digital media receiver so no CD, which I’m ok with. It also saves on weight (“adds lightness”) and space (does not extend as far behind the face plate). I also did the Metra ASWC-1 steering wheel control adapter, and surprisingly had no issues. Only a few of the wires are required, and the vehicle-specific guide helped tremendously. It says to connect to wires on the backside of the vehicle dash harness, but I elected instead to connect to the corresponding wires coming out of the Metra 70-7903 harness adapter. White/green wire from the ASWC-1 connects to the brown wire coming from the dash harness adapter. This is called 1N. Color may be different on the dash connector; what’s important is the position. The black/grey wire goes to ground; I basically crimped all of the ground wires together and that seems to work ok. The Kenwood harness has a light blue & yellow wire for steering wheel control; this connects to the brown wire coming from the 3.5mm plug on the ASWC-1. It auto-detected and programmed itself, and all left-side buttons work. The MUTE button doesn’t mute completely, only attenuates the volume. The MODE button switches between sources. It seems a bit muddled in FM until the HD radio signal kicks in. But I’ll likely forget about these once in motion. :-) I used the Metra dash kit; finish is ok and everything fit in ok. It kind of sticks out proud at the top edge but it’s even side-to side, and flush on the left & right sides. This deck came with a DIN mounting cage, but I decided to go with the ISO DIN brackets that attach to the sides and the clip into the faceplate. Much more secure and better fit. Matching trim ring included to keep the matte finish. Slight gap under the bottom edge of the deck but I don’t notice in the vehicle.

Good value for the money
I was looking to replace the radio in a 1996 Honda Accord. I just wanted Bluetooth and be able to use my phone for music and listen audiobooks. I was basically looking for a no frills unit. I had read previous reviews and this unit fit the bill perfectly. I had read from previous reviews the display is hard to read in daylight but this was not a concern to me. Excellent value for the money. Hands free calling is a bonus I didn’t know this unit had.
