Should have snagged the harness too...
Not exactly a plug in and play system... Open the dash up and see if the connections are there... I don't have access to all-data right now but The dash harness may actually be the same.... Sometimes they used a different dash harness and ecu for the on board nav... esp. with newer vehicles... Here is the article I used back a few years when we did a swap... A LOT of hours involved and you usually lose functions on the steering column unless you change that out too ;/ http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=59957 |

OMG, seriously man your looking at an EASY two day job... you have to take the dash loose ;/
Takes a lot of crap... About 4 color pens for marking screws and a camera to remember where everything was... Took about 14 hours.. |

Not that it is hard but you seriously have to take A LOT out to do it right... Takes patience to get the dash... What seems is an assumption do it then tell me that ;/ looks really good though when it is finished! |

I use plastic zip lock bags , for each "step" remove the bolts drop them in the bag then label , the digital camera can snap shots to help remember what/where the bolts are ...
colorcoding is an excellent idea too ... |
