1st Time Installer, 2006 Mazda 3, Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX

Hi all! I'm a long time fan of the12volt.com and mobile electronics. As much time as I have spent around the tremendous talent of the industry, about 30 years, I am just now about to attempt my very first install! My vehicle is a 2006 Mazda 3 and I would like to post my install's progress, step by step in this thread with detailed, step-by-step photos as I attempt 100% of all installations myself. I will be installing over a prolonged period of time (Months, possibly Years) by adding one toy after the next, as I can afford them! The first addition to my Mazda will be a wicked head unit - Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX. Okay, so first of all, what tools do I need to do a complete installation of just my Pioneer Head Unit? Keep in mind: This is Phase 1 - Just the Head Unit! Furthermore, what would you recommend that I install in addition to my wicked head unit? Please keep in mind that I am trying to keep a clean and simple feel for the interior, as close to stock as possible! Best, SRMJRStay busy.

In addition, my vehicle has just a regular key, with a stock alarm system, stock cruise control, and steering wheel radio buttons! Best, SRMJRStay busy.
