I did this project on my 2017 Mazda touring on Tuesday.
I used this product. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPDHL5S/
It is a little less than what you are looking at. I added this wiring kit...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GBPF7HE
I made an error on my install and let me tell you what it was...I put the first plate into a hole that was too small for the bolt. It was an extra 90 minutes to get back to zero but lesson learned :)
The wiring was super easy two wires on the driver's side rear light array. One on the left side
They plug in between the array and the lighting harness. Super easy too. In the trunk below the little tray on the driver's side is a great place to ground the light kit and a rubber boot that has a wire bundle running. You can use this as a good place to put the wire underneath to the battery.
Running the wire to the battery from the back was made much easier by my using fiberglass sticks. I used some networking rods that I have from networking projects.
I used them to pull the wire from the front to the back along side the brake lines. It was made super easy by using the rods and I would recommend them for this project.
Someone else mention that the bolts and having a second person to put the trailer up without losing the bolts...I left the pull wires on and feed them though the openings on the trailer hitch by myself and just pulled the guide wires one at a time and that allowed me to tighten up the bolts without worrying about losing the bolts back into the frame.
Other than the issue with the first bolt it was easy. You need a torque wrench to tighter the four bolts to the spec of 110 ft-lbs.
Feel free to PM if you have questions.
I've got a 2004 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon also.
Last January (Jan 2017 I think, but might have been 2016) I installed a Grom Audio "Mazda 02-08 USB Android iPod iPhone Bluetooth AUX car kit" - Model# MAZU3 device.
I also purchased and installed the Bluetooth dongle & Aux-In/USB Charging adapter cable.
Installation required me to remove the OEM stereo and make a minor modification to it (hardest part of that was actually opening the cage of the stereo itself, in order to get to the circuit board).
Then the Grom device plugs in to the socket on the back of the OEM stereo that would be used by the optional factory CD changer.
The Grom 'impersonates' the CD changer, so the stereo thinks it is playing a CD from the CD changer when you are listening to the Grom

Within the last week I learned of two competing products that I am seriously considering for another car I own.
https://www.amazon.com/iSimple-Hands-Free-Calling-Streaming-Smartphones/dp/B00FRU5UNA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521602988&sr=8-1&keywords=isimple+bluetooth&dpID=41nW9mERuUL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
This is a similar product to the Grom, but instead of plugging in to the CD port of the stereo and impersonating the CD changer it uses the FM antenna port and sends its output through the stereo's FM receiver. To use it you switch your radio to a predetermined FM frequency.
I suspect this would be more reliable than Grom's method, at least with the 2004 Mazda stereo.
https://www.amazon.com/Parrot-MKi9200-Advanced-Bluetooth-Hands-Free/dp/B001IA3SZ0/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Mazda%7C80&Model=Miata%7C1110&Year=1996%7C1996&ie=UTF8&n=1077068&s=car&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=automotive
I like the Parrot unit a lot. It looks like it would be great, and I'm willing to shell out the $$$ for it. It actually inserts itself between the stereo and the speaker wires themselves, so it will work regardless of what source you're listening to - doesn't matter if you're listening to the radio, a CD, etc...
My concern with the Parrot though is that I see many reviews that state it worked great for 6 months - 2 years, and then crapped out, and the company provided horrible service when that occurred. So I'm reluctant to get one of these.
Hope the above helps you decide what you do going forward.
I had a 2016 GT I traded for a 2018 Signature with the white interior. On my 2016 GT I learned real quick that the piano black inserts (as footparth2206 mentioned) scratch all to heck, especially if you lay sunglasses straddling the shifter. So on my new one (I've had the signature for a year) I am SUPER extra careful. I baby my vehicles but that, the white leather and ultrasuede dash and door panels, and the strange dash material scare me a bit. I have a couple of scuff marks (that the DEALER did!) on the dash that won't seem to come off. But I found that Dr. Beasley's interior cleaner helps more than anything. So I might suggest you give that a try. And as far as the piano black inserts, I found that regular microfiber cloths are even too abrasive. I first use a can of air to get the top layer of dust off.Then I use Chemical Guys Happy Ending edgeless microfiber cleaning towels (buy on Amazon). They have no edges or seams and are extra soft. I don't use any type of cleaner at all. Hope this info helps!

Agree on the LED kit. I also installed a short shift kit and shifter bushings from CorkSport. The latter is kind of overpriced, but the short shift kit is excellent and the installation instructions were crystal clear.

I also have 7mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacers with extended lugs on the rears, beefier rear sway bar, and a strut tower brace. Spacers and strut tower brace are honestly just for looks, I do notice a bit of a difference with the sways.
Griot's Garage products have served me well. I use their Interior Cleaner and Leather Care Spray. Links are below.

Interior Cleaner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IUE5S7I/
Once a month or so, I use the Interior Cleaner on EVERYTHING, then follow up with the Leather Care Spray on the steering wheel, shift knob, and seats.

I had a bit of free time today and I happened to find it pretty quick.
Heres the dash kit

Remember you’re not going to use those side plastic pieces. You’ll have a better fit using the metal ones already on the stock radio
Honestly the OEM one is amazing. Fits perfect and it keep a lot of heat out (coming from a guy living in Tucson, AZ).

I used Meguiar's polish and Compound along with a Chemical guys medium clay bar with lots of wet sanding. Its a tad bit greasy but it turned out nice. Whoever owned it before me must of parked under a tree or something because something ate through a lot of the clear on the top half of the car. I stripped and repainted the hood since that was by far the worst but the rest is factory.
Just get a set of wire taps. They are safer than wrapping a wire around a fuse

I have a '16 and BSM seems to work well, but I'd rather see things with my own eyes anyway. It's possible to eliminate the blind spot with adjustments, but I prefer convex mirrors that give me a wide view with no blind spot. I put a set of these on every car regardless.
