does anyone know if you can put a 06 oem cd player/radio unit in an 05 Mazda 6?

 

I don't think so, but Mazmartrini can probably tell you for certain.

 

It would probably fit as the IP was the same between those years, but I believe the finish of the panels changed (went from the silver metalflake paint to a black finish) so it wouldn't match the ashtray panel. Also, there were also slightly different molded details along the edge (a silver accent rib) on the later years.

 

Unfortunately we have not had the chance to see if this is possible. With the CAN system in our cars and the Bose & nonBose systems, it is hard for my guy to see if it is possible.
