I purchased this dash kit to install my aftermarket double din in my 2004 RX-8. When I got the kit, I immediately did a test fit to find out that the opening was too small to fir the Power Acoustics PD-769NB. I trimmed the opening out and I managed to get it to fit. You do have to cut the top ears off of your A/C control panel if installing a double din unit. I recommend reading the manual on Metra's website for more details before purchasing. I am rating it 3 stars for the fact that I had to massage the opening.

The Metra kit has received numerous updates since its release, and it's not nearly as glitchy as it originally was. Nevertheless, my top red display will flicker sometimes when turning the AC button on or off, and some other things.

The fit of the product is great, and is just like stock!

Installation is tricky, since everything is so cramped in the RX8. I had ZERO electrical or car experience, but installed it along with a Sony navigation unit all myself, so it's possible to DIY!

If you want to install a double-deck stereo, this is really the only option you have. Just make sure to do everything right the first time, because opening everything back up is a royal pain! (Not the product's fault, it's the RX8's small workspace that makes it tough).
