ConnectPRO SWI-IZ03 Radio Replacement Interface for Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X and Mazda BT-50 2019-2024

ConnectPRO SWI-IZ03 Radio Replacement Interface for Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X and Mazda BT-50 2019-2024

Plug-and-play radio replacement interface engineered for 2019-2024 Isuzu D-MAX, MU-X, and Mazda BT-50 models, retaining factory steering wheel audio controls, reverse camera, USB/AUX hub, and antenna/DAB connection when installing an aftermarket head unit.

Product Overview

The Stinger ConnectPRO SWI-IZ03 is a vehicle-specific radio replacement interface designed to preserve key factory features when upgrading to an aftermarket radio or infotainment system in the Isuzu D-MAX RG (2019-2023), Isuzu MU-X RJ20 (2021-2024), and Mazda BT-50 RG04 (2020-2024). All three platforms share the same 16-pin Isuzu radio connector architecture, allowing a single interface solution to serve all three models.

Without a dedicated interface like the SWI-IZ03, installing an aftermarket head unit in these vehicles results in the loss of factory steering wheel audio controls, reverse camera feed, and USB/AUX hub functionality. The ConnectPRO solution eliminates this problem through a direct plug-and-play connection to the existing vehicle harness — no wire cutting, no connector splicing, and no permanent modification to the factory wiring. This means the original factory radio can always be reinstalled if required.

The SWI-IZ03 connects the factory 16-pin Isuzu radio connector to the aftermarket head unit, translating steering wheel control signals, routing the reverse camera feed, passing through the USB/AUX hub, and retaining antenna and DAB connections for a complete, fully integrated aftermarket installation.

Features & Benefits

Retains Factory Steering Wheel Audio Controls The SWI-IZ03 translates the factory steering wheel control signals to work with the aftermarket head unit, keeping audio controls at your fingertips without taking your eyes off the road.

Factory Reverse Camera Retention Retains the OEM reverse camera feed (on equipped models), routing the factory camera signal through to the aftermarket head unit for continued use during reversing.

USB/AUX Hub Retention Maintains the factory USB and AUX hub functionality, preserving the original in-cabin connection points for device charging and audio input.

Antenna and DAB Retention Retains the factory antenna and DAB connections, ensuring AM/FM and digital radio reception carries over to the aftermarket head unit without additional adapters.

Plug-and-Play Installation Connects directly to the factory 16-pin Isuzu radio connector with no wire cutting or connector modification required. The factory radio can be reinstalled at any time if needed.

Covers Isuzu D-MAX, MU-X, and Mazda BT-50 A single interface solution serves three platforms sharing the same 16-pin connector architecture, making the SWI-IZ03 the correct choice for owners of the current-generation D-MAX, MU-X, and BT-50.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my steering wheel controls if I install an aftermarket head unit without the SWI-IZ03?

Yes. Without the SWI-IZ03, the factory steering wheel audio control signals will not be recognised by an aftermarket head unit, rendering those buttons non-functional. The ConnectPRO interface translates the factory control signals so they continue to operate with the new head unit.

Does the SWI-IZ03 retain the factory reverse camera?

Yes, on vehicles equipped with a factory reverse camera. The SWI-IZ03 routes the OEM reverse camera signal through to the aftermarket head unit. If your vehicle does not have a factory reverse camera, this feature simply does not apply.

Does this interface work with the Mazda BT-50 as well as Isuzu models?

Yes. The 2020-2024 Mazda BT-50 RG04 is built on the same platform as the Isuzu D-MAX RG and shares the same 16-pin Isuzu radio connector architecture. The SWI-IZ03 is fully compatible with the BT-50 RG04 alongside the Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X.

Do I need to cut or modify my factory wiring to install the SWI-IZ03?

No. The SWI-IZ03 connects directly to the factory 16-pin Isuzu radio connector with no wire cutting, splicing, or permanent modification required. This means the original factory radio can be reinstalled at any time without any trace of modification to the vehicle's wiring harness.

Is the SWI-IZ03 compatible with all aftermarket head units?

The SWI-IZ03 is designed to work with the vast majority of aftermarket head units available in the Australian market. Compatibility may vary depending on the specific head unit's steering wheel control input type and camera input configuration. We recommend confirming compatibility with your chosen head unit prior to purchase, or consulting a qualified car audio installer.
