Just a heads up to anyone removing the stereo. At 1:53 they mention the two phillips head screws need to be removed to get the stereo out, BUT what they forget to mention is there's a bolt holding the back of stereo to a plastic bracket. You have to poke your head in the space where the glove box used to be to be able to see it. Will probably need a socket with extension to get to it. If you can't remove the stereo by yanking on it with a bit of force then you'll probably need to undo that bolt to get it free. Have accidentally ripped out the plastic bracket holding that bolt down but wont need it with the aftermarket stereo. Was working on a 2012 Mazda 2.
Heads up for those with a manual gear change car, when the gear change housing is being removed you will need to unscrew the gear change knob in order to get the plastic housing to fully come off the gear change control system. Great presentation guys.
Great video! I followed this one for my 2011 Mazda 2 here in Canada. I referred to another video because I was missing some steps but all in all it worked out!
damn this looks so much better than most new cars with screens… i’m rather attached to my cd player but if my radio unit ever gives out i might just have to do this
Did you ever get an answer to this? In the video it looks like he didn't have steering wheel buttons in his car, but my car has them. I'd like to know if the after market products support the steering wheel buttons... I fear they don't, which would put me off even starting to bother with this sort of thing...
Hi guys, I just purchased the model for the 2013 Mazda 2 with steering wheel controls. At this stage the steering wheel controls aren’t working and it looks like a lot of fiddling around, potentially stripping and crimping wires to make them work.
If you have steering wheel buttons, you will need to puchase a harness for that specifically. It includes more wiring and fiddling around but it's absolutely possible. If you look it up or are purchasing a kit you'll see that usually they'll have 2 options of harnesses, one being ISO (not connected to buttons on car or for cars without steering wheel controls) and a steering wheel harness. You'd have to choose the latter. There's a price difference in the two harnesses usually around $100. Hope that helps.
Good job. I have a 2009 Mazda 2. I'm thinking about putting an android radio in it, from AliExpress. But the seller tells me that it's better not to buy it. Because my car has, next to the emergency button, triangle, an LED that indicates the passenger seat belt. Not inserting this led or witness. can I put it? Thank you

Buen trabajo. Tengo un Mazda 2 del 2009. Estoy pensando en ponerle un radio android, de AliExpress. Pero me dice el vendedor que mejor no la compré.

To be fair. These have a recall on them for the passenger said airbag. So maybe it's just that when you were fiddling maybe it set it off. But check with your Mazda dealer in regards to the recall.
Hi driveitech I'm a young car lover and I have the same kind of car and would like to do the same as you did but just with sound I was just wondering if you could maby sponsor me the head unit and the back plate..?

Just managed to do it myself, the comment above is right. If you look at the system through the hole where the glove box was, you'll see a 10mm bolt head. Mine had integrated Phillips screw, so I've held the head in one hand (so it wouldn't fall down behind) and unscrewed it with the other. Whew... On to the installation now!
@@a.a2304 no. But I'm blaming the system i bought. It's a generic Chinese android thing and it wasn't well developed, especially on the software side. I gave up on the steering wheel buttons but in theory there's a way to connect the right wires and "train" your deck to recognize which signal does what

Good afternoon and sorry for my English, my Mazda 2 has the seat belt warning light on top of the radio, is there a problem if I leave that light off? Thank you
@@mattl6936 Nothing, nothing happens. I removed that warning light from my car and everything continues to work, the connector has become loose behind the radio, and everything is fine, even the acoustic warning is still normal. Do it, disconnect, nothing happens. I apologize for my English
Hey, I bought one for my friend and installed it. Been running well for the last couple months now and hes loves it. he’s looking to upgrade to the CarPlay also
Hey can someone help me my Mazda 2 1.3i 2008 doesn’t have the info button on the wheel and I have no clue how to enable the in the moment fuel consumption if it is even possible I tried to find guides and videos but couldn’t find any I appreciate it if someone knows and is willing to help
At T'eyes I can purchase a much better system - 3G ram, 32G storage, 8core processor QLED screen, for less ($444.26). Your system only offers 1G ram, 16G storage and its more expensive ($489)
There is 1 more connection in the orignal frame left side to the hazard light switch (you can see it at 02:31) which is missing with the new frame. As far as i know its related to the airbag interface, did you leave it unplugged or you connect it somehow on a diffrent place?

For people with a Mazda the video forgot to mention there are 10mm bolts that hold the radio in place.
Where?
@@camysak1441it's on the left accessible after taking the glove box out. 10mm socket with extension to reach it.

I bought a similar radio on Aliexpress and your video is the best I have seen

Thank you I’ve searched for a video to install a head unit in my Mazda 2 you have given me hope.cheers boys 👍👍👏👏⭐️
Just followed this today, cheers!

You need to remove the most annoying bolt under the glove box. Just a heads up!
Great video. Can you provide the reference of the product installed. Also did you plug a reverse camera too? Thanks.
What was the other video you watched?
You forgot to mention the 10mm bolt that hold the OEM radio in. Cost me 2 hours
can’t believe a 10mm bolt took you 2 hours

Hi. Awesome video, do you know if this unit works with the info button on the steering wheel?
Hey! Great video. Does anyone installed the rear camera yet? Thanks 🙏
good job on the video fellas. Well explained....no nonsense trying to be an entertainer. Very eventful as a successful tutorial
VEeeery goood video. All clear, no steps missed. All vires shown! Excelent!
Gotta love a cheeky usb
Wicked tutorial! Keep at it man!
Nice. No reversing camera?
Do the controls on the steering wheel work, with just plug and play?
Good job, new stereo unit looks great.
Thinking of upgrading my mazda 2 with this system...you make it look do easy...
legend, just an honest how to do.
Thanks, i f up my metal radio holder and plastics cuz u didnt mention the 10mm screw
hey guys, great video, can you make another video of the actual system in use + the user experience + features?
I wish I hadn't seen this. Wasn't even looking for an aftermarket radio but now I'm wondering why I haven't yet.
You go through with it?
Brilliant radio I upgraded to one but I seem to have lost radio stations.
Excellent job. Extra marks for speaking Australian English
great vid mate - love the aussie vibes
So... Will the steering buttons work with the after market stereo?
Does the buttons on the steering wheel still turn the vol up/down and skip tracks?
