Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Mazda 2 generation we see: DE (2007–2014): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in the radio position with a DE fascia; the factory radio has no screen to feed; DJ (2014–2019): Mazda CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit kit behind the MZD Connect screen; an Android screen where the car has the basic radio or is a Japanese-import Demio; DJ facelift (2020 on): Factory CarPlay on Irish cars, so we add a wireless adapter; on an imported Demio the Japanese unit is replaced by an Android screen. From €250. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

FAQ
Mazda 2 CarPlay: questions people ask.
Answers for 2 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppCan a 2015 to 2019 Mazda 2 have CarPlay on the factory screen?
Yes, if it has MZD Connect with the 7-inch screen and the Commander knob. The Mazda retrofit kit goes behind the screen with a new USB hub, and after a software update CarPlay and Android Auto run on the factory display. Entry-trim cars with the basic radio have no screen, so they get an Android screen instead. Send the reg and we check which one you have.
My Mazda Demio is a Japanese import. What is the CarPlay route?
The Japanese MZD Connect or navigation unit does not take the European retrofit kit, so on a Demio the route is an Android screen made for the DJ dashboard: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, an Irish FM band, DAB and a camera input, with the Commander knob still working. Changing the dashboard language is a separate job we can do at the same visit.
How much does CarPlay cost on a Mazda 2?
It depends on the generation. DE (2007–2014): from €290; DJ (2014–2019): from €290; DJ facelift (2020 on): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

DJ facelift, built 2020 on (MZD Connect with a 7-inch screen and the Commander knob; CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory; Japanese imports carry a Japanese unit without CarPlay): Factory CarPlay on Irish cars, so we add a wireless adapter; on an imported Demio the Japanese unit is replaced by an Android screen.
How long does CarPlay take on a Mazda 2?
DE: two to three hours; DJ: two to three hours; DJ facelift: two to three hours. You can wait at the workshop or drop the 2 in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Mazda 2?
DE: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. DJ: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. DJ facelift: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept.
Do I need to book CarPlay for my Mazda 2, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (DE and DJ) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
