Product Overview
The Aerpro AMDMZ20 is a complete head unit upgrade kit for the Mazda CX7 ER Series 2 (2009–2012) in non-amplified specification. It replaces the factory unit with a 9" capacitive touchscreen at 1024x600 resolution, adding wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in DAB+ digital radio, and Bluetooth V5 retaining factory steering wheel controls and full vehicle menu access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the phone button on the CX7 steering wheel work after installation?
No — the phone button is specifically not supported by the AMDMZ20. All other factory steering wheel control functions are retained. If phone button support is a requirement, this kit is not suitable.
What is the difference between CX7 Series 1 and Series 2?
The Mazda CX7 ER ran in two series: Series 1 (2006–2009) and the facelifted Series 2 (2009–2012). The AMDMZ20 covers Series 2 only. Confirm whether Series 1 variants are also covered using the Aerpro What Fits Your Car Guide before purchasing for an earlier CX7.
How do I know if my CX7 ER Series 2 is non-amplified?
A non-amplified CX7 has all speaker wiring running directly from the factory head unit with no separate amplifier unit mounted elsewhere in the vehicle. If your CX7 has a separate amp (typically under a seat or in the boot) with its own speaker wiring, it is an amplified variant and requires a different kit.
Is the vehicle menu accessible after installation?
Yes — the vehicle menu is fully retained on the AMDMZ20 without any additional display relocation or components required.
Does the Mazda CX7 have a factory reverse camera?
No — the CX7 ER Series 2 is not factory-equipped with a reverse camera. The 720P AHD universal rear camera included in this kit adds reversing visibility from scratch.
