Kanatechs Stereo Install Kit For 2004-2008 RX-8

CAUTION: Installation of these kits may involve cutting plastic parts and/or the handling of sensitive electronics. ShoKits recommends that the work be performed by a professional installer. Any damage to the kit parts during installation or damage to electronic parts due to incorrect installation are not covered under the limited warranty.

Note: If your car comes equipped with a BOSE Premium Sound System you will need to purchase an additional adapter for your new stereo to operate properly.

Note: In order to retain functionality of your steering wheel audio controls, you must purchase an additional adapter.

Changes from Factory Equipment:

• This kit is compatible with the factory DVD navigation system but the TV function is disabled. (TV function on the aftermarket car navigation system should work fine.) The system sounds from the factory navigation system may be disabled.

• Installation of this kit disables the center console clock and audio information.

• The activation of the air conditioning system will become slightly slower and will no longer make a sound indicating its status.

• When first starting the car the information panel in the center console and the LED on the heater control unit may flicker and/or be delayed.

• Automatic sound Level Control (ALC) becomes disabled.

• The interior lighting dimming function no longer affects the information panel and heater control LED.

• The heater control unit and the hazard lamp switch illuminate whenever ACC is on.

Installation Notes:

• Occasionally vehicle antenna cables are too short, antenna extension cables are available from most reputable car audio installation stores.

• For installation, the factory heater control unit, hazard lamp switch, etc. need to be detached and reassembled on the panel included in this kit. You will need to cut off two holding flaps at the top of the heater control unit. (It is still possible to re-install the factory equipment after cutting.)

• Car AV equipment with a front panel size of over 172mm in width and 100mm in height cannot be installed due to clearance issues.

• Car AV equipment up to 172 mm in length may be installed. However, some equipment may be incompatible due to the position of wire connections on the back of the unit causing space conflicts behind the stereo.
