Talking rx-8 dash logicon and or Mazda 6 logicon in FC

hey guys assuming i could cut and fit and maul and mutilate and hack and saw and rip and tear and fiberglass and actually get one of these to fit (and you know I can mold one into an FC dash ) how hard would it be electrically to get these to work? i mean what kind of computer controls and hook ups are we talking about. I want the stereo and the AC setup, basically the whole frontal part and install it. Anyone??

you can ger anything to work if you try hard enough...

The question isn't "how hard would it be?" but rather "how hard will you try?"

(you can run a car off 120v, but sometime the extension cord is gonna come unplugged...)

Edit: all responses for trying to hit a baseball to the moon. but goodluck!!

I KNOW you don't want a mazda 6 stereo. My dad drives one with the Bose speakers and IT IS CRAP. Any alpine deck would be better.

I think the making it fit part is harder than making it work...they should both be 12V systems and are really just switches. I'm sure none of the plugs match so butt connectors, solder and wire tape are your friends. Big PITA IMHO.
