2013 Mazda CX-5 Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

Looking to upgrade your older Mazda CX-5 with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? I walk you through the step-by-step install of a new aftermarket head unit on my 2014 Mazda CX-5 — and YES, you can reuse your OEM backup camera!

•The one I bought is no longer available but this is just like it. https://amzn.to/4oRP8ne
•Here is the Camera Retention kit to keep the OEM Camera https://amzn.to/40ihBs7
•Here is a 12v-6v adapter you'll need because the OEM camera is 6v, put this inline with the camera's positive connection, you don't need this specific one but get this one or a similar one to keep the camera. The quality of the old camera is not worth the effort though. I would put in the new camera unlike my video - https://amzn.to/49iUEdq

And a note about the OEM camera, the resolution is just OK, the camera that comes with the new radios is much better so maybe think about just putting on a new camera.

This guide works for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 Mazda CX-5 models, and is similar for many other Mazdas of that era (Mazda3, Mazda6, etc.). This is similar on Mazda 6, CX-3 and others. I cover everything from:

Removing the factory head unit

Wiring harness and CANBUS hookup

Installing a custom-fit Android-based radio

Connecting and configuring the factory backup camera

Testing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Final install and trim fitment

🎯 Cost-effective mod
🛠️ No special tools required
📱 Modern tech in your classic ride
