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.
