Everybody here in this forum seems to recommend FHRX Studios in Cronulla, but I was wondering if there is someone similar whom people would recommend in the Lower North Shore, North West and even Parramatta area?

I'm not an audiophile, so I don't need a full audio system installed. I simply would like to upgrade my OEM head unit to a new one (with CD player that doesn't bounce) and have it professionally fitted so that it looks OEM.

I bought the Eclipse AVN827GA unit that Bathurst00 was selling. It looks like one awesome unit (from what I've read from Eclipse's website - I'm yet to open the box). I can't wait to get it professionally installed.



All I need is to get the head unit fitted (with very tight gaps between the unit and the existing interior trims), and all the additional accessories that came with the unit:
- GPS antenna
- Bluetooth mic
- Voice command steering wheel button
- reversing camera (I know, I know, who needs a reversing camera on an MX5 right? But I have it, so might as well use it).

I need someone professional who would care about their work. The install should also allow it to be reversed back to the original factory OEM unit with no additional parts to purchase. Plug and play with the wiring if necessary. Not sure if there's an ISO plug available with this unit and the Mazda OEM plugs.

I know Badbong (aka Victor) have fitted the older version of my unit to his old NB8A, I was wondering if anyone else have done it?

Hiya, my previous car was installed by fhrx. While the workmanship was top shelf, customer service was an issue for me.

I am not aware of an audio only installer on the north shore who knows what they are doing, and I have worked with several. But for the items mentioned you could contact Leon at Security In Motion, who mainly deals with security but also does AV/nav etc.

My MX-5 has stock audio. I listen to the engine/exhaust.

went to metrosound in artarmon who removed my stock head unit for free (legends)
but they had a large garage/complex and were doing alot of european vehicles and seemed like the go ^^

Hey Allan,

Go to Fhrx, go directly to Fhrx. Don't even think about anyone else. You might have to wait a couple of weeks as they are always busy but It will be done professionally and of the highest quality first time.
I have had nothing but great service from them and I am a serious Audiophile.
Email Marty Price <fhrxstudios@bigpond.com> and tell him exactly what you want. He's a good guy.
Here is my Pioneer in Scooby installed by Dan at Fhrx 2 years ago and still like new. You will be happy with the Eclipse, they are a nice unit.

I got to admit that is one fine fitment, Richard. Very tight gaps and it looks OEM. I want it fo look just like that. Fhrx it is.

Thanks.

nice choice of music Richard..

Killers, Haha, that was a couple of years ago. I think that was either my 3rd or 4th mid life crisis.
I'm not onto my 5th now and this one is a beauty.
