Perfect for owners maintaining these reliable sedans while adding contemporary connectivity that makes daily operation more efficient and enjoyable.

Wireless smartphone mirroring replaces outdated technology. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto eliminate the need for suction-cup phone holders and auxiliary cables common in 2002-2008 vehicles. Navigate, stream music, and manage calls through integrated systems that look factory-fitted rather than afterthought accessories—transforming the cabin into a modern connected environment.

BOSE system integration preserves premium audio investment. First-generation Mazda 6 models equipped with factory BOSE sound systems require professional harness modification for proper integration. This ensures the premium audio continues delivering quality sound that owners have enjoyed for years—essential for families who appreciate the refined audio experience during daily drives. Confirm your audio system configuration when ordering.

Steering wheel control retention maintains driving focus. Factory steering wheel controls remain fully operational for volume adjustment, track control, and source selection—maintaining the driver-focused experience that defined the original Mazda 6's engaging character. Manage modern connectivity without compromising the purposeful cockpit design.

Built-in GPS replaces standalone navigation devices. Replace windscreen-mounted GPS units and phone holders with integrated navigation that looks professionally installed. Preloaded GPS map data provides continuous navigation for school runs, shopping centres, and weekend destinations, while Google Play Store access enables app installation for real-time traffic and route optimization.

Bluetooth 5.0 adds modern hands-free capability. Enhanced Data Rate technology delivers crystal-clear phone conversations—a significant improvement over the basic or absent Bluetooth systems in 2002-2008 vehicles. Legal, safe phone communication during commutes and family coordination becomes practical with contemporary connectivity standards.

High-brightness IPS display transforms cabin aesthetics. The 9-inch screen dramatically updates the first-generation 6's interior appearance, bringing a modern touchscreen interface to dashboards designed in the early 2000s. The professional integration maintains the quality feel while adding contemporary functionality that transforms the daily driving experience.

Add modern safety features to proven platform. The reverse camera input enables backup camera addition to Mazda 6 models manufactured before reversing cameras became standard—valuable safety upgrade for confident parking in crowded areas or reversing with limited visibility. Essential modern convenience for vehicles that predated comprehensive parking assistance.

Expandable audio system supports quality upgrades. The 4V pre-output voltage drives external amplifiers for significant sound quality improvements over factory systems from the mid-2000s. Dedicated subwoofer output and four-channel connections support comprehensive audio builds for owners who appreciate both the 6's driving dynamics and quality sound.

Transform proven reliability with contemporary convenience. This head unit respects the first-generation Mazda 6's reputation for engaging dynamics and dependable transport.
