I got mine from this eBay seller as separate parts but looks like they sell it as a full kit now. Includes the usb box, cable and foam tape (to stop rattles)

Moan at them by all means, but physically installing the hardware yourself (or a non Mazda dealer etc?) leads you wide open to invalidating any warranty you have! Just bear that in mind.

I spoke to my dealer & like I thought, goodwill gestures ain't their style, its £350 or get lost.
You are quite right, good advice about doing a self install,. Do I want to invalidate the warranty on a brand new car just for a gadget that I could live without anyway ?.
I still can't get over the "ripped off" feeling though, still, I'll live with it.
Thanks for the advice.
some dealers are discounting the supply and fit charge, but it depends on how far they are from you...

Just installed AA/CP upgrade on my wife’s 2016 Mazda 2 Sport Nav. Got the kit off AliExpress for £88 delivered inc. VAT. Two software updates were needed which took about 1.5 hours. Physical installation took about the same time, going slowly. If anyone is planning to DIY this then I would recommend removing the gear knob and surround and glovebox which improves access. I would also recommend protecting the dash around the screen with masking tape to minimise the chance of scuffing it.
Installation was fairly straight forward using the provided instructions. The only issue was that there was very little spare flex to the CD player which made it harder to withdraw the USB hub. At first the navigation SD card was not recognised but worked fine after being ejected and re-inserted.
I can see why Mazda dealerships charge £300+ for this job as it takes between 1.5-2.5 hours to do and they charge £175 for parts. I would encourage anyone who wants AA/CP and is practical, to go for it and save over £200.
