engineered for the Mazda 3 (Axela BK) from 2004-2009. Head Unit Upgrade Kits can vary between vehicle models. Use the Aerpro What Fits Your Car Guide at aerpro.com to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchase. The 4V 6-channel RCA preouts are compatible with most aftermarket amplifiers requiring front, rear, and subwoofer signal inputs. The dual AHD 720P camera inputs are compatible with most aftermarket AHD 720P and standard composite cameras in addition to the included surface mount camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the AX9246K retain the factory Mazda 3 steering wheel controls?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes.

The kit includes a black fascia, steering wheel control interface, and universal patch lead. The 720P AHD surface mount camera included in the kit can be installed as a new reverse camera for the vehicle, connected directly to the head unit's reverse camera input via the included 6-metre RCA cable with in-line reverse trigger wire. If retaining a factory reverse camera is required, confirm whether any additional retention adaptor is needed with your installer or by using the Aerpro What Fits Your Car Guide before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat generation of Mazda 3 is the AX9246K compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe AX9246K is engineered for the first-generation Mazda 3, known as the Axela BK, produced from 2004-2009. It is not designed for the second-generation BL (2009-2013) or later Mazda 3 generations. Use the Aerpro What Fits Your Car Guide at aerpro.com to confirm compatibility with your specific build date and variant before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the included 720P AHD camera be used as a front camera instead of a reverse camera?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes. The included 720P AHD surface mount camera can be installed and configured as a front, rear, or reverse camera depending on the installation requirement. It connects to either of the head unit's two AHD 720P-compatible camera inputs via the included 6-metre RCA cable with in-line reverse trigger wire. If used as a front camera, the reverse trigger wire would not be connected and the camera would need to be activated through an alternative trigger or manual input method depending on the head unit's camera activation settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan external amplifiers be connected to the AX9246K?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes. The head unit provides 4V 6-channel RCA preouts covering front, rear, and subwoofer channels, allowing external amplifiers to be connected for higher output power or a dedicated subwoofer channel. The 4V output voltage provides a strong, low-noise signal compatible with most aftermarket car audio amplifiers. Subwoofer level control is also available directly from the head unit for convenient bass adjustment without accessing the amplifier directly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aerpro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44417603534941,"sku":"AX9246K","price":599.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9528\/9437\/files\/AX9246K.jpg?v=1777862294","url":"https:\/\/frankiesautoelectrics.com.au\/products\/aerpro-ax9246k-6-8-inch-head-unit-kit-mazda-3-2004-2009","provider":"Frankies Auto Electrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
