The panel is a generic one. No part number, I'm afraid. But the HVAC control knobs are 72311FJ801.

I went for a Kenwood DMX7522S along with a conversion to an XV radio and HVAC panel. Works flawlessly plus I'm not a fan of the HVAC switches that came with JDM Levorgs.

You're better off changing the entire radio. The JDM head units have close to no use outside of Japan unless you have Bluetooth.

The Outback wheels looks a little weird on the Levorg. But it's good you got a Singapore import. It's likely a high-spec variant, and it probably doesn't have the 114/135km/h cruise control limiter that JDM cars have.

I've never liked the JDM Levorg's Panasonic audio panel and unique HVAC controls, so I replaced them with the ones from an XV/Crosstrek. I must say the triple knobs look better, which begs the question why JDM Levorgs never came with them in the first place. Thanking @lerroy for confirming that...

Replaced the foam insert with an actual spare tire from a GG-model Atenza (so I still ended up with a bit of Mazda). Wasn't going to put my life in the hands of the questionable can of fix-a-flat which the car came with. I was also able to secure the foam insert for the jack/tools from a wrecked...

One of the first things I had to replace was the useless Japanese head unit. It had Bluetooth but not for audio. Good thing the aperture is a standard 2DIN hole, so I put in a Kenwood DMX7522S in it with wireless Apple and Android connection. Too bad I couldn't use the buttons from the old HU...

Creating a build thread here for my humble VM4. Got this last March. I was on the lookout for a Mazda Atenza 2.5 Skyactiv when I chanced upon the listing for the vehicle you see here. I was told this spec was sort of a unicorn as not a lot of JDM Levorgs had a full leather interior from the...

Hey there. I'm so sorry for taking too long to reply. I have replaced mine with a Kenwood DMX7522S. I did the installation myself so I bought the harnesses specific to my car and head unit because wiring work scares me. I don't know if I'd be qualified to answer any of your questions but I'm...

My dealer couldn't remember which part they replaced. But judging from the P000A code which is now gone, odds are it might be the oil control valve.

Resurrecting this thread as I just want to confirm that the Mazda 6/Atenza is a good source for spare wheels. Found this off of a first-gen Atenza at a breaker's yard. 17x7 ET55, which is similar to the stock 17-inch wheels of the 1.6 Levorg. I just need a hub ring and a 215/50 R17 tire. I was...

Did you get your wheel from a wrecked vehicle? I'm not having too much luck looking for one from Marketplace or TradeMe in the South Island but maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Considering using a wheel from an Atenza or Skyline as a spare.

That's genius! What material did you use for the insert? And where did you order the fixing screw?

Have you managed to find one? Contemplating on a space saver spare but the foam insert at the back might not fit.

I see. I thought of using LEDs for my main beams and fog lights but didn't because I thought it was against the law. So it's okay for me to go LED for both of them? I have LEDs on my turn signals though, which I know is not prohibited.
