Hi, my 1997 NA8 has a CD player and a radio. Can someone please confirm that they are both single din and in combination are double din. Which car had the 1.5 din units. Does anyone know if I can get a 1 Din cubby if I replace them both with 1 single din unit. I am trying to get it to play usb and bluetooth audio.

I'm sure you can, I have one in mine.

If you didn't option the CD then the stock radio/cassette was single DIN with a 1 DIN plastic pocket underneath. The 96.5/97 NA8 also came with the correct sized cutout in the console facia for an aftermarket single DIN head unit to fit in perfectly.

My car has the CD player as well as the radio/tape unit. I was going to swap out both. Should I sell them or keep them. Would I get anything for the original units. They both work.

MX5 Parts UK are currently having specials on several audio parts on both single & double DIN.

My 94 Clubman had a 1.5 DIN radio/cassette. I still have the unit but will be replacing it with a single DIN unit to give me space for a 3x 52mm gauge facia (single DIN) when I turbo the car.

Most single and double DIN units over $250 will give you USB and bluetooth. You can probably get these features for less if you hunt around.
