Im going to be installing a double din stereo in my m3, and i was wondering if anyone know any shops in the GTA that would stock the trim kit (preferably the Scoche kit).

I know i can order it online, but if i can get it this weekend it'd be more convenient.

Which car do you have?

You may want to save up for the Japan Parts one instead, it's OEM Mazda and the fit and finish is unmatched. Sure it's 10x the price but sometimes it's worth it.

selective sound can usually get them in 1 day. I ordered mine and picked it up next day after 4pm.

it was for 2010 mazda 3 gs.

don't bother with best buy/future shop. I tried and Neither carry it. it was all an "order only" item.

I my self ordered the Scoche kit off ebay and it was shipped Friday oct.22 and i have yet to receive it yet.:bang

Hopefully tmrw but i don't think ill be holding my breath.

im sick of waiting for mine to arrive. its been 7 business days since its been shipped already :flaming

Anyone know of a place where i can just go pick on up? I found 1 store that had them but their selling it for $89.99

Anyone else know of a place for a more reasonable price? Im off today and wanted to get the job done.

Mind if i ask how much you paid?
I called them this morning after checking the site sponsors. I waited a bit on hold then i asked the guy who picked up if he had the dash kit for a 2010 Mazda 3 and i got a quick "nope". :bang

I have the day off today so i REALLY wanted to get my new deck installed today.. and i really doubt the one i ordered off ebay is coming today since its already 3:15 and i get packages always in the AM.

If the price was right and someone could confirm that they DO have it in stock right now id hop in the car and go get one right now but at this rate it looks like i cant do nothing but sit at home and just wait.

well of course just my luck both Kits arrived today so i went from not having any to having 2. I used one on my install today. If anyone wants to buy the other one off me ( fresh in the box from crutch-field) contact me via PM ( if the site allows this)

I'm looking to buy a double-din adapter for my 1st gen GT ASAP. Does anyone know how much they paid at Selective Sound? I'm not really up to getting the Japan Parts one... I'd just really like to get my stuff installed ASAP.

OMG! Awesome.

Buying now. Except one thing; if they have a place in Mississauga is it possible to pick up locally? I'm in Mississauga!

Thanks.

(Why can't I edit posts)... Also... I get to keep the OEM screen but will it even work with a double-din (Kenwood DNX) installed?

Also, a bit of a de-rail but how can I tell if my GT has the Bose stereo?

it will say bose on the speakers and im pretty positive that you couldnt get a bose until 07-09 and only in the high end GT with the special package.

They did not start using the bose system until the 08.5 GT
