Ok guys i drive a 2013 mazda 3 GS-SKY, non-bose 6 speaker.

Ok here is my question, i am thinking of installing the Kenwood DDX770, or the Sony XAV64BT. Things to keep in mind my main purpose of doing this upgrade is my sound system, i plan to do a lot more changes to speakers subs and amps in the future, but i figured i would start with the deck and go from there. Anyways, in the stock GS-SKY it already has USB and Bluetooth and steering wheel controls. My question is can i keep my original USB Port, Original bluetooth mic, and keep all the functionality of my existing steering wheel ? Anyways any and all help is welcome :) thanks!

I may be wrong but I am almost postive you wont be able to use the current bluetooth mic or the original USB port. You can use the steering wheel controls but will need a module of sort in order for it to work with the new deck. I have a 2013 GS-SKY as well but am opting to keep the current deck as I like the look of it and the functionality. I find an aftermarket deck looks a bit odd because its "indented" for lack of a better word but who knows I may eventually get one just to get nav and improve my sound. Though I am thinking about getting one of the Eonon units down the road since it still has a factory look to it. I also am dying to put a sub in but I dont know if its worth it without a deck upgrade...
