Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

Mazda MX-5 Android screen & radio upgrade, generation by generation.
Radio King does head unit upgrade on every Mazda MX-5 generation we see: NC (2005–2015): Car-specific Android screen replacing the CD radio in a double-DIN slot: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB, camera input, steering-wheel buttons kept; ND (2015–2018): Larger Android screen in place of the MZD Connect, keeping the steering-wheel buttons, the climate display and the factory amplifier where fitted; ND2 / ND3 (2019 on): The MZD Connect 7-inch usually stays — CarPlay is built in; we fit an Android screen only where the factory display has failed or is too small, keeping the factory controls. From €290. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.
