Aerpro AM8462K 6.8in Multimedia Receiver Kit for Mazda 3 2013 to 2016

Aerpro AM8462K 6.8" L-Shape Multimedia Receiver Complete Kit for Mazda 3 2013 to 2016 Non-Amp

The Aerpro AM8462K is a complete head unit upgrade kit for the Mazda 3 (BM, 2013 to 2016) non-amplified vehicles, featuring a 6.8" capacitive touchscreen multimedia receiver with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in DAB+, Bluetooth V5, 4 x 50W max power, 13-band EQ, and 6 x 4V RCA preouts. The kit includes a vehicle-specific installation kit and retains steering wheel controls with a compatible SWC adaptor.

Product overview

The AM8462K uses an L-chassis design with a shallow mount base and a clear upper section, specifically suited to vehicles where a standard double DIN chassis would not clear the dash cavity. The 6.8" 1024 x 600 capacitive touchscreen provides a clear and responsive display for navigation, media, and phone functions. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto connect to compatible smartphones without a cable, and the built-in Bluetooth V5 handles hands-free calling with HFP 1.6 HD Voice and A2DP audio streaming.

The Infolink Plus input supports integration with select factory functions including climate control, parking sensors, and gauges depending on the vehicle and module. Dual rear camera inputs are AHD 720P compatible, supporting reverse, towing, or front camera additions. The 13-band graphic EQ with time alignment, 6 x 4V RCA preouts, and subwoofer level control provide a complete audio tuning platform for aftermarket amplifier and speaker setups.

Note that steering wheel control retention requires a compatible Aerpro SWC adaptor, sold separately. Head Unit Upgrade Kits can vary between vehicle models. Use the Aerpro What Fits Your Car Guide to confirm the correct parts for your specific vehicle before purchasing.
