Product overview
The Stinger HRMA004 connects an aftermarket head unit to the factory wiring of the Mazda 3 BL (2009-2013) via a plug and play ISO harness, without cutting or splicing factory wiring. Powered by PAC Audio RadioPRO4 technology, the kit arrives pre-loaded with amplifier retention software, steering wheel control mapping, and navigation-based output signals, reducing installation time and complexity compared to standard radio replacement kits.
The pre-programmed SWC interface is ready to use immediately after installation without requiring manual programming or PC configuration. The kit is compatible with non-amplified, Bose digital, and premium audio system configurations, covering all standard Mazda 3 BL factory audio setups. User-programmable settings for Bose digital amplified gain, fader, and surround sound are also available for customisation after installation.
The OE LCD display continues to function after installation, retaining clock, MPG, estimated miles to empty, and other vehicle information displays. A/C compressor function and rear seat entertainment are also retained. AUX and USB retention are not included. The kit provides 12V ACC, Illumination, VSS, Parking Brake, and Reverse output signals for the connected aftermarket head unit.
