yup. upper small display just shows ac, mileage time.etc. the little 4 inch display shows. well typical stereo info. my favorite part is it has a backup camera. and well being lowered that helps tremendously. if you can send me the link to where its 150

my upper display does not show mileage. Just ac, radio, time and sirius stations etc.... thus I am not sure it will work on mine. EBay

in my 2010, it showed basically the same thing. i think the only thing thats different is the ac. but your car dont show the miles for a full gas tank, avg mpg.etc??

To answer your question, performance is fairly good. For $150, it's definitely worth it and I'd go for the change... If not for performance, at least just for the looks...

Mine did not come with Bluetooth capability, instead it came with an aftermarket Parrot handsfree kit installed at the dealer. No option. I don't know why Mazda decided this, but this was the only way to get a V6 in the '09s.

For anyone with this same head unit with a backup camera. Do you know what would be missing for me to install one? Would I have to get just the camera or something else for the head unit?

brandonlee · 11-13-2012, 07:53 PM

pretty sure just the backup camera but i wont get to let you know for sure till i take it all apart. lol

PBNJ · 11-13-2012, 09:03 PM

Brandon, yes, when hitting the INFO button on the lower left dash mine shows AVG MPG, Distance Rem, time etc... as well. Does your upper display show radio station as well?

PBNJ · 11-13-2012, 09:05 PM

Brandon, so your 2010 and 2011 show the same info on the upper display?

brandonlee · 11-13-2012, 09:17 PM

If I can remember right the only thing that's different is the ac functions. And I don't think it shows the radio on the small display. I'll check in a bit.

PBNJ · 11-14-2012, 09:19 AM

Well, bought it for $150+shipping. Now we'll just have to see if it was a scam or not!

Hi Brandon - I have the identical unit in my 2010 Mazda 6. I just bought a backup camera off ebay and I intend to connect it to the video display of this unit.
Did you have the back up camera pre-installed or did you connect it after-market? Any suggestions would help. My Mazda dealer is not offering me help here
