PAC AOEM-MAZ2 Interface that Allows Replacement or Addition of an Amplifier in Select Mazda Vehicles Without a Factory Bose Sound System

What an absolute awesome product. Having a Mazda 6 has been a pain in the rear. After buying 2 android head units and realising neither worked with Can bus properly. The upper display never worked with them. Back to stock.But this amazing bit of kit allows me to use stock stereo and rig up an amp and extra speakers. No splicing cables, no messing around. No non working components I'm the car. Can bus intact. A very happy bunny. Thanks Amazon!

Was disappointed in the sound in my car so wanted to add a subwoofer. This item was invaluable and worked a treat. Even powered the remote on. Avoided any splicing etc.A lot of online sites talk about RHD cars. For LHD cars the TAU is just behind and above the driver side kick panel. You need to undo the three bolt on the TAU to make life easier but plenty of room back there. Again highly recommended.

Wasn’t sure if this works, as the actual package label said for Bose (confusing and incorrect sticker?) Anyways it did work for my 2015 Mazda 3 GS NonBose stock stereo. Easy plug and play and the blue remote wire works! (Remote wire was the only thing I soldered for my amp) Just wanted to add a subwoofer to my existing stock car stereo. Added my amp and subwoofer. This made it easy. No need to cut stereo wires and I can remove this harness/device easy when I sell my car. (TAU is Located under glove box) Thank you.

Menos de 5 min quedo instalando a mi mazda 2015

Great product! I have essentially zero experience installing stereos and have always had a buddy help me in the past. Installing the LOC was always the worst part as I've found you can never fully trust wiring diagrams in terms of how a color is described. I couldn't find a wiring diagram for my vehicle so I read the reviews on this and decided I'd give it a try despite the mixed results of whether or not it worked on Bose and if the remote amp turn-on wire works. Needless to say, this thing works on with my Bose system and the remote amp turn-on worked as well without cutting any wires. I simply connected the remote wire coming out of this interface straight to my amp and bam! I really only encountered one problem and that was trying to get the factory harness out so I could plug it into the interface. Maybe I was being stupid, but just to help anyone else out that gets this, in my vehicle, the harness I needed was located where many others have said. You need to take out the glove box (very simple, just Youtube how to change your cabin air filter). As you are looking at the glove box compartment, a little bit to the right there should be a silver box. I had two harnesses connected to mine. One was smaller and was pretty much invisible until I stuck my head in and looked down. The smaller one is not the one you want. You want to hook into the bigger one. My issue came in trying to get the harness out. There is a tiny piece of plastic that is visible that I thought was the release clip and I spent a good thirty minutes trying to get it out using that. Eventually, I was able to get my phone into a good enough spot to take a picture of the back side of the harness (part closest to the vehicle's outer body and voila!). Found the clip. Took about 5 minutes to get it out after that as it is in there pretty tight. My advice is just to hold the clip and tug slightly to get it started and then slowly pull out the top area and bottom area a little at a time. Once it is out, plug in what you just pulled out into the orange connector on the interface, and then plug the interface's white connector back into the TAU. Couple pictures attached. Hopefully they help. I actually hacked another reviewer's photo as it definitely helped me out. I added a couple captions in it though. Ran all of my other wires and hooked everything up and my sub is actually louder and has much cleaner sounding bass than my setup in my previous Mazda 3 where I had done the aforementioned LOC hook-in. Some reviews say this doesn't work with Bose and the remote wire doesn't work and maybe it didn't for them, but for my '17 CX-5 w/ Bose, I couldn't be more pleased. 100% worked exactly as described.

This works on a 2015 Mazda 3 SP25.It plugged into the amp located behind the trim on the drivers side (RHD) footwell.The remote wire for amplifiers also works.

Installed this on my 2016 Mazda CX7 without Bose to add a powered sub to the OEM head unit, worked like a charm.Amp kicks on and off with the remote wire with no issues, no need to cut into any of the factory speaker wires making the install quick and easy.
