Well, new grill arrived and is on, saves roughly an inch in depth, couldn't go too much shallower given the excursion so... 'optimal'.
Therefore, final cleanups - put some protective edging on metal anywhere wires pass, added a disconnect so can trunk the subwoofer without bare wires hanging about, taped up the wiring under the dash so less conspicuous.
And with that, the #MiataBox install in the #Miata is complete.

Pretty happy with it so far!
The audio is the same as the old unit, and now I don’t need to have my phone on a stand anymore as I can have both maps and music on the same screen and it looks cleaner.
Google Maps was a bit slow on the old unit, so I only used it to run music streaming and stuff, and had maps on my phone.
Swapped my car’s head unit this weekend. I was prepared so it took less than 4 hours this time!
First pic is the old one, it ran Android 8 and had physical buttons and a volume knob.
The new one just has wireless CarPlay & Android Auto (and radio) with no other OS.
Because it has no volume knob and I really like it, I got their wireless steering wheel control and stuck it on the dashboard, as it has a rotating volume wheel around the buttons 😂
