Just finished (about 2 weeks ago) installing a new touch screen radio/gps/blue tooth radio in my smart car ("size matters"). got it fromSmart Madness and they provided all the necessary cover pannels and hardware. Took a little studying to sort out the wire harness but all the wires and the car side connection were marked with their purpose. Some gud stuff about by-passing the emergency ground wire on You Tube help loads. Actually it requires some carefull work in making the harness up but it is NOT complicated and I double and triple checked my work before the installation. I hooked up all the necessary wiring and then B4 I placed the radio in the dash I reconnected the battery and tested it out. All worked fine and then I completed mounting the radio in the dash. It was a little expensive but the GPS works wonderful. The blue tooth phone feature works like a charm for both sending and receiving calls, I loaded a micro SD card with almost 400 songs and inserted it in the card holder and it works beautiful. Kept the door speakers (original) and they sound great. Smart Madness was a great help for any questions I had. If anyone is thinking of getting one of this type of radio replacement, do it. It's not that hard, and the added enjoyment of your smart car will be well worth it. My smart is a 2011 Passion Coupe. I have about 3k miles on it and I just LOVE this car.
