    ES radio wanted or a good impersonator!?

    I'm looking into changing out the 2014 DE radio, I've noticed in another forum that a aftermarket radio just didn't line up correctly with the factory double din mirage set up. So my question is, are any of you selling a ES radio or has anyone found a good double din radio that fits good and has navigation? (I'm trying to keep it as factory looking as possible) Thanks in advance!!

    The ES and DE have the same radio.

    The one you have pictured is from an ES with the Navigation Package, and you might have some trouble getting it to work in a DE.

    Not sure what you mean about lining up correctly. Are you talking about the gap between the radio and the trim as seen in the pic? That's because it's the piece offered by the dealer. Should be the trim for the OEM navigation unit. That's why you see a gap. Any single or double din radio should work. Here's a kit by Metra...

    Looking good mike19896. Hello and welcome to the forum.

    I hope you can make a garage entry here, and post more pictures of your Mirage, sound system, and any other modifications you have.

    Can you tell us more about this installation? Did you do it yourself or have a shop to the work? Do you have any links to the equipment you installed? How does it work? What did you do with the old radio and hands-free module? It's good to document the installation of gear in case others want to put it in their car.

    Thanks for posting this.

    the ES Navigation Package Unit is plug and play to DE,.. I got it to work and installed on my DE with factory camera.

    If you go with aftermarket Double DIN radio, you need a aftermarket radio face, not OEM one as they are a bit bigger. They sell those one piece in EBAY but will have to get the right size as the aftermarket radio face plate has 2 size too.
