Hello all,

I am looking to add Bluetooth and nav functions to my wife's 2011 cx-7, but would like to retain a mazda radio. I don't necessarily need to keep the same radio that is in the vehicle, however, I'm not trying to go " aftermarket". I spoke with a local dealer and he was telling me I would need a $1,400.00 wiring harness before I could begin. That's not including any installation or the price of the radio..... any suggestions?

 

Where in the world are you?

I can only comment on New Zealand & Australian models.

There should be no need for a $1400 harness.
You should be able to get a genuine Mazda Bluetooth kit.
Just buy a aftermarket Tom Tom or Nav Man GPS. ( Some have Bluetooth !! )
