I can understand the finisher and the bracket....but why do we need to replace our temperature controls? Is it just cause we need the DIN connection that doesnt come on our stock temp controls?

Thanks, i needed this info as well. From what i found doing searches, the controls have to be replaced, not sure what the reasoning is but they have to be.

The A/C controls and radio share the same board which is the reason the new controls are needed. Unfortunately, this is the most expensive piece of three. However, I've also read that the bracket is NOT needed and that it's already in the car (unless you're doing an upgrade from 03-04 to 05-06). Can anyone confirm this?

Is the bracket really necessary for the double din install? I've ordered the finisher and AC controls, should I order the bracket too?

You don't need the bracket for the 04 model as well. You just need the finisher and a/c controller.

Thanks for the bracket info guys. And blackg3507, that's a really good deal for Z1 + accessories.
