Features & Benefits
-
Exclusive RG04 BT-50 Fitment — Not Isuzu Compatible Although the BT-50 RG04 shares its mechanical underpinnings with the Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X, the Mazda dashboard is a completely independent design. The SF9-MZ03 is precision-moulded for the Mazda-specific dashboard layout, trim alignment, and brand finish — it will not fit the Isuzu dashboard.
-
Third-Generation BT-50 Only — Not for UR Series The RG04 (2020–2023) and the previous UR Series (2015–2019) are completely different platforms with different dashboard architectures. The SF9-MZ02 covers the UR Series. Confirm the build year before purchasing.
-
Mazda Factory Finish — Textured Grain Moulded to match the BT-50 RG04 factory dashboard finish including texture and grain pattern — integrating the head unit as a factory-matched dashboard component.
-
Camera Retention Harness Required All 2020+ BT-50 RG04 models are equipped with a factory reverse camera. A camera retention harness must be purchased separately to maintain reverse camera functionality with the aftermarket head unit.
-
CAN-Bus Integration Note Some BT-50 RG04 functions previously accessible through the factory screen (vehicle settings, trip computer) may require CAN-bus integration for continued access through the aftermarket head unit. Consult a professional installer for full feature compatibility specific to the vehicle's configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SF9-MZ03 compatible with Isuzu D-MAX or MU-X models?
No — despite sharing the same mechanical platform, the Mazda BT-50 RG04 and the Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X have completely different dashboard designs. The SF9-MZ03 is for the Mazda BT-50 RG04 only. Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X require the SF9-IZ02.
What is the difference between the SF9-MZ02 and SF9-MZ03?
The SF9-MZ02 is for the previous-generation BT-50 UR Series (2015–2019) built on the Ford Ranger platform. The SF9-MZ03 is for the current third-generation BT-50 RG04 Series (2020–2023) built on the Isuzu platform. The two generations have entirely different dashboard architectures and are not interchangeable.
Does the SF9-MZ03 include a wiring harness or steering wheel control interface?
No — the SF9-MZ03 is a fascia panel only. A Mazda BT-50 RG04-specific wiring harness, antenna adaptor, steering wheel control interface, and reverse camera retention harness are all required separately for a complete installation.
Do all 2020–2023 Mazda BT-50 models have a factory reverse camera?
Yes — all third-generation RG04 BT-50 models are equipped with a factory reverse camera. A camera retention harness is required to maintain reverse camera functionality after installing an aftermarket head unit.
Is professional installation recommended for the SF9-MZ03?
Yes — the BT-50 RG04 dashboard involves Mazda-specific disassembly procedures, multiple factory integration harnesses, steering wheel control programming, and camera retention. Professional installation by a qualified car audio installer is strongly recommended.
