- CarPlay & Android Auto Car Radio for Mazda 6: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DcJ... (T10 4G)
If you own a first generation Mazda6, this video might be just for you! Today, I install an aftermarket headunit replacing the parcel shelf in my friend's 2008 Mazda6. The biggest benefit of adding an aftermarket headunit is getting a big 9" touchscreen, Android system with built in GPS, Music Player etc. but most importantly, you get Wireless Android Auto and Wireless Apple CarPlay which will modernize the entertainment experience in the car tremendously. I was impressed with how well it fits on the dash and looks like it belongs and if you hook it up to the internet, you also get built in UA-cam and you can install any Android app you'd like as well. Steering wheel controls are also integrated and work with the head unit so you can change the volume, change songs, mute and basically assign any button you want. This should work on any version of the Mazda6 from 2002-2008.

Thanks mate you're a legend. Basically used this as a guide to fit mine. So far really like mine, only issue I've had is that it seems to be a little unreliable when binding the steering controls. Changing impedance to low seemed to fix this for me. I'm in the UK and can confirm it works fine for right hand drive
I was wondering, thanks m8
2:04 that's going to be me at every step 🤣
That looks so good in that car!
Thank you for this video I just did my daughter 08 mazda 6👍👍
Which model did you pick ?
İs it working well?
im about to buy a 2005 mazda 6 5 speed as my daily driver, i cant wait to install this!
Let me know when you install! I'm thinking, but I'm afraid. It doesn't say if it's Bose compatible? Does the GPS have to be out? What is 4G if there is no sim card? What about the camera installation at the end?
We have a 2006 mazda 6 5 speed wagon. Ordered this and we'll see how it works out.
I found one aswell perfect condition with 60k kilometer only. Im just afraid to re aseembly half of the car to install this hahahaha
@michaelhare6605 can confirm that the entire audio system of the car itself (cd+radio or whatever was in there) doesn't work anymore. The volume control also doesn't work, you're entitled to program the volume keys for media control. Annoying if one of the buttons doesn't work that well anymore.
@@TrollersJustice Do you have the Bose Audio system?
I am definitely interested in this unit. My pacel tray door is already broke. For the cost of a new one i can have upgraded styling and tech.
Especially if you get the simpler one without the 360 cameras. Great upgrade
Which one did you get? Because there are like 5 different options? Do I need the T10 for wireless Apple CarPlay?
Awesome video! Any update on adding a camera to that car? I’m not doing 360, but I just got the same unit for my Mazda and am thinking about adding a rear camera. Any tips on where to run the wires would be welcome!
Hello, what do you think of it so far? Is it worth the money, does it work well and look good? Is it a hassle to use everytime you start the car or is it more or less automated? Thank you
Does the originals radio buttons become unusable?
Anyone that got this have u been able to add the backup camera without any issues?
So I installed mine but I have to change volume of CarPlay on the screen itself the volume knobs and buttons aren’t connected to the screen any tips?
Great job. Congrats
How can I get the antenna connect to the unit? It seems to short to reach it.
List of tools you used? Didn’t look like many
Thanks so much for this video, I have a 6 MPS and this is the exact model I'm planning on buying.
What is 6mps?
@@CyberpunkSamurai Google it
@@CyberpunkSamurai Mazdaspeed 6
I have one too, I was trying to find the kind where the screen pops up, but I either can’t find one anywhere or theyre wayyy too expensive
Did you end up buying it? Im wondering if there are any issues with the Bose Amp. From the looks of it, this unit piggybacks off the OEM headunit, which should trigger the amp on. If not theres usually a line on the harness that can be spliced. Id be interested to hear how you got on.
Where did u leave the gps and the antenna?
Hey man about to buy this. Any 4month update / review?
Late to the party, is there something similar for the 2. gen model with the Bose sound system?
What is the exact model of the canbus that you used in that video ? Can I get a link ?
Wow cool man, I just installed mine based on ur video but still have Somme questions on wiring, I’ve contacted the company so waiting but did u ever do the video of the wiring ?
Hey is the screen works well?
I bought the T1max model and installed it a few days ago. The installation was not very difficult, I did it myself. The sound quality is okay, but a little different from the standard. The car play is wireless and works well.
Unfortunately, the volume control stopped working, so you need to have buttons on the steering wheel, so I plan to install them.

Works for mazda 6 2004?
Im Really interested, somebody know if this will work for a mazda 6 s 2005 ??
Where can you get it?
I did this to my 6 and it looks better then in most modern cars ! Buy the more expensive option that has integrated ecu cooling its worth the money (hot summer days can overheat maybe). I do recommend when installing this to place some soft tape material in between the car dashboard and multimedia that you are installing because the fit cant be super perfect and this will avoid annoying rattle .
Hello. I have a question... I instaled one, and my little display doesent work any more.. What i have to do? Thanks
Mine works well , you probably didn't connected right cables , see if you missed something on video ,if you have frend who knows or just pay car electrician to install it , they charge 50 euros for example here in Europe , also back camera aint easy to connect right , I couldn't do it right.
It wasnt a cheap one... I have ecu cooling sistem intagrated
Hey man does the screen work well? İm planning on buying it
@@user-od2dy8by6t it does
Looks nice but I would have liked to see you disconnect the battery first before playing with the electrics.
Tbh i put a lot of radios in different cars and you dont even need to disconnect the battery, you can even cut the cables with the battery on and nothing will happen
Thanks Alexander I was just curious and because my car is a 2011 model I doubt that it is worth it@@alexanderperez6825
@@alexanderperez6825 Until it does. lmao.
It's amazing how people work in cars for so many years just because they know how to wrench away. Some of us who had the chance to go to college to get our ticket know exactly why you disconnect the battery. Wait until those Idiотs cut the wrong cables and end up frying a module lol.
I actually disconnected it for parts of it.
I own a mazda 6 gg 2003 and i have a problem with the display (clock, info etc). I doesn't show all lines and i can not read the informstion on it. I heared it can be fixed by resoldering the cold soldering joints. Do you have any info on it ?
Hey i also have a mazda 6 2003 and countering same problem did you get it to fix?
Have you figured out how to get the radio and/or OEM CD player/aux port modes to work? I think the wiring for the large connector essentially overrides the oem stereo entirely apart from the head unit controls. Can't even use the volume dial on the oem stereo to control, only the tablet or steering wheel.
Nice vid. I ordered and installed thanks to your installation guide here. Looks great and works well! Just hoping to utilize more of my oem stereo/radio in parallel with this new head unit.
Have you figured this out? Just installed and would like my oem radio to work as well
@@Alien__15bro same lmk if you figure it out
Me too, no radio functionality in Android unit nor OEM stereo either. I will face into the reversing camera in the future when I recover from this install .
@@DamonBirrell You won't get radio signal in the head unit unless you get an antenna extension cable. The OEM cable in the car is too short to reach the 3.5mm antenna jack in the head unit since the head unit is located so much higher on the dashboard. And if you unplugged the radio antenna cable from the OEM stereo during installation, your OEM radio won't get a signal either.
@@christopherchan9868 thanks mate that makes sense. I didn't unplug the antenna but it was so tight behind there I could have accidentally tanked it out at some point
I wonder if he still has that compartment he swapped the screen for
Is this good for Mazda 6 2003
Dinde lo compraste?
Very cool. Is this radio compatible with bose sound system?
this dont work i have testet no way 150€ blowing in the wind
Where did you order that carplay,i need it
how much did the radio cost? and what configuration did you use?
they usually go from 100-200 USD
Hi, I have also installed an android radio head unit and it works correctly except for the sound quality, which is worse. If the stock radio works as amplifier shouldn't the quality be at least the same as before installing the android head unit? Currently the sound is not very clear and the maximum volume is lower
Factory radios with factory speakers are tuned from the factory. Once you replace, either the radio or speakers, the tuning will be off and usually the sound quality will be off. So you will have to re-tune your system accordingly.
Hey does the screen work well?
I'm looking at a mazda 6 2.3 LL with 93,000 miles on it. Sharp looking car buy are they reliable? I know it old but all i can afford rn. Tray is broke where this screen would go. Only other issue i found was gas door lever is wonky and hard to open the gas door. But i test drove it and ran perfectly fine and handled perfect. 1 owner.
I own a 2007 Mazda 6 2.3L Dynamic, which I purchased in 2008 with 10500km on the clock. It was a demo model and going for a good price. Wouldn't trade it for anything else. Very reliable and not expensive to maintain. You can't go wrong and you will be very happy with your purchase.
@@comancheflyer4903yea i got it and had to replace the bcm but so far happy with it. 👍
Does the climate control display on the original LED display still show AC/Heater and vent direction? Depending on ur answer, I may buy one of these
Of course, it doesn’t remove any AC controls or functionality
@@SimpleCarGuy thanks for letting me know
Hey did you buy one and does it work well?
Hey. Yeh i got it all working. I managed to retain the original CD player also, through the AUX cables provided. I recommend you do that because the antenna cable doesn't reach up to the dash unit. Too short.. Or buy an antenna cable extender is you want FM through the new unit. But yeh works a treat. Not the loudest sound though, but it's ok for me
@@subj109 thank you very much for your feedback . I wanted to buy but didn't trust because it comes from china :))
Planning on doing this over the Metra dash frames, would it work with a 2004 Mazda6 Wagon?
And is Carplay compatible with Apple?
@@kata-vl4niCarPlay is made by Apple. So yes.
Can it work with a 2006 Mazda2? Thanks
There’s multiple models in the link for this product. Which one is this video referencing?
I have same issue
Hi, does it work with bose sound system?
I don’t see why it wouldnt
@@njektofficialit has different cables
I am seriously considering buying. Does it work plug and play with Bose (mazda 6 2007 GG) Does the rear camera work if they don't prepare on 360? Do you need a sim card for 4G? Do I need wifi for navigation if I don't have 4G? Does it have an integrated microphone or do you have to use the external one that comes in the package? Do you expect problems if the car is left in the sun for a long time? Does the plastic squeak when driving after installation?
Does the hands-free call via bluetooth work with answering on the display on devices without carplay?
Also interested in finding out if this works with Bose, trying to find this sort of unit that supports bose, but can't find any explicit mention of any of them supporting Bose
@@zneaks After seeing that the device stops working, the prices are different, not that I want to spend a lot of money, I have that device to play MP3s from USB, I'll settle for that. I give up.
@@TomyCroSound Where did you see that it stops working? I use the GTA Car Kit on mine currently with 0 problems

How do I get this product ?
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED
I WANT YOU TO DO IT
How can i buy it sir ?😢
Can you send link on how to get that specific one and it’s Bluetooth right
It has wireless CarPlay based on which model you buy, definitely a big factor for deciding what model I will be buying
Mine didn't bring the can bus … to my understanding the screen has its own can bus settings too. Ill try to install it in my mazda and see what happens.
Installed and works great with my gg 2004 with Bose, got the T10 4GB/32GB. Original stereo works with aux input. Steering controls mapped. No wireless android auto working for me but it does state wired only
Is the 360 camera like a dash cam or is it more like a backup camera?
It's like the backup camera
Would this fit on a 2006 mazda 6 ?
Should be okay
İ want to buy this screen but is it safe? Does it work very well? Or is it getting broken after using for some time? Can anyone who's using this screen enlighten me?
My friend has had it since the video been made and has no complains as far as I know. I think the only thing is that it won’t connect automatically sometimes. Not sure what you mean if it’s safe, why wouldn’t it be?
@@SimpleCarGuy by safe i mean would it get broken or would it give problems or would it get broken while delivery etc.
Does apple car play work too? And which one would i have to get?
Yes, the last part of the video shows it working. As far as the version, whichever one you want. They should have very similar functionality just slow or faster or with more memory.
What is that exact model canbus? Can somebody give me the link
did you find the canbus model ?
Installed Android head unit in my Mazda station 2006. Without canbus decoder. Unit works great. Steering wheel controls work. Original stereo controls do not work. Is there a way to make the controls work? And what is the benefit of the canbus decoder?
Thanks in advance
CANBUS decoder allows the stereo controls to work :) CANBUS allows communication between the ECU of the car and the aftermarket unit.
@@SimpleCarGuy Does the canbus came with the android system or did you bought it separately?
@@SimpleCarGuy did you have to purchase the canbus? Mine did not come with one. Where can I find one?
Will the CD player still work?
Nope
Hello, can u help ME? I instaled one navy to my mazda, but my litle LCD of the car doesent work.. What canbus box i need to buy? I have one but its not working

@@rayouch2.078 nope,do u know a good ins?
does it have a backup camera?
Yes, it does
Did he get the reverse camera working??
He did! He had to contact the company that sold him that unit to get the unlock code and change the settings from 360 camera to reverse only camera. It worked perfectly after, so make sure you order the version you need.
Does this work for a 2003 Mazda 6 and also can you put the link for this
I have 2003 Mazda 6 I would like to know also
Does it work on mazda 6 from 2003 with bose sound system?
The one I ordered yes it works beautifully
@@Frogingtons Which one specifically? Is it plug and play or does it need custom wiring done?
@@ttviconicsnipez9436 I ordered the one in the video and yes it’s plug n play
Does the stock radio work with this as well? Or does it completely mess up the stock system
OEM radio works but you have to get an extension antenna cable to reach the new head units location on the dash.
@@christopherchan9868 cool wasn't sure. I know with most kits. The harness of the new radio connects to the old radio harness but with this kit.
I'm going to Guess that it just taps into the radio for power/sound/etc and keeps the connections for the old radio?
@@dr_tal I thought I replied to this but it didn't post. Sorry about that. Yes and no. The OEM stereo (both radio and CD) is powered by 1 cable so you unplug that and plug in the head unit to the stereo. The head unit comes with a power cable cluster that has both male and female ends so you plug the car power cable back into the head unit and that powers both the stereo and head unit at once. With the shroud, you also cannot turn off the head unit. It powers on as soon as the car is started so even if you are using the radio or CD changer, the head unit is still powered on.
@@christopherchan9868do you have the screen does it work well?
@@christopherchan9868 Hey question you know if this works with the Bose version of the audio system?
im considering getting this for my 05 mazda 6, though is it true when installed it can make the audio quality worse in the car? someone please let me know as soon as possible, thanks :)
Yes, it can make audio sound a bit worst if the CarPlay unit you get has crappy pre-amp. This one seemed fine, but vendors can change their quality any time since this comes from China.
@@SimpleCarGuycan I still turn the volume up and down from the other radio? Or does it have to be from the steering wheel
Can I plug a reverse cam into this?
Yes
Where do I get the kit from
It’s noted in the desc
Cost????
How much does something like this cost to replace?
Don't know, we did it ourselves. A shop would probably charge you like 2 hours of labor.
Is the stock receiver still functional?
Yes
@@SimpleCarGuyso the stock receiver is fully functional but you just have a screen to display everything?
How much did it cost?
There are many different versions, but I believe my friend paid about $180
I just got a 2010 Mazda 6. Can you please tell me which one you're friend bought? Is he happy with it? I'm currently shopping around for one. Thanks!🙂
Hey, what happens to the original CD player? Does it just sit there and do nothing? Or does it still function?
We didn't test it, but it should work as before. I know the radio was still working just fine.
@@SimpleCarGuy thanks for your reply. But does the radio work from the touch screen or from the old builtin one?
@@SimpleCarGuy I'm also curious to know if the OEM radio still works. In the ad I've seen, it says that the CD is still working. Does it still light up at night? Can the buttons be used?
@@carlosrubio658 i've installed this and can 100% confirm: the oem cd player/radio does not work anymore. It lights up, takes CD's and stuff but there is no audio because it is rerouted to the android screen.
@@TrollersJustice According to what the seller has told me, the CD can be kept by putting the screen in "aux" and connecting the cables in a certain way (he has sent me a photo). I'll have to try it when I install it.
At least it light up, which looks much nicer.
