Installation Guide VAD15 for
Mazda Miata MX-5 NA/NB/NBFL
Preface
Thank you, for purchasing the VAD15 MX-5 Kit for installation in a Mazda Miata MX5 type
NA/NB/NBFL instrument cluster. The shown pictures are from a type NB. Type NA could be
slightly different but the overall steps are the same.
During development, we put high effort into fitting accuracy and quality. The MFA has been
tested and fitted by several people and will be steadily improved, so you will have no
problems during the modification of your instrument cluster.
In spite of our great care and tests it can happen that unpredictable difficulties or problems
may occur. This may occur due to many different versions of instrument panels, which cannot
be considered upfront.
If you have any feedback, criticism or change request, do not hesitate to get in contact with us
at info@vadpro.com.
Required Tools
-
Phillips screwdriver small
-
Slotted screwdriver small
-
Ø15mm drill
Advice
The retrofit set is a very sensitive electronic device. Please use an antistatic mat and wrist
band to avoid any damage to the device itself. Avoid pressure or touching the OLED screen.
This may lead to defects or faults in displaying your data.
VADpro does not assume any liability for this modification or any damage during modification
or during operation. This installation guide has been put together with the best of our
knowledge and belief.
