Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

FAQ
Mazda 2 car radio: questions people ask.
Answers for 2 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppDoes the Android screen for the Mazda 2 keep the Commander knob and the steering buttons?
On DJ cars yes: the unit plugs into the factory harness with a canbus adapter, so the Commander knob, the steering-wheel buttons and the parking sensor display keep working and the fascia matches the dashboard. On DE cars there is no knob to keep; the screen takes the steering buttons and the radio slot with a fascia made for that dashboard.
How much does car radio cost on a Mazda 2?
It depends on the generation. DE (2007–2014): from €290; DJ (2014–2019): from €310; DJ facelift (2020 on): from €310. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Mazda 2 years can have car radio?
DE, built 2007–2014 (CD radio built into the dashboard with no screen; Japanese-import Demios often carry a Japanese navigation unit): Android screen with a fascia and harness for the DE, steering-wheel buttons kept, DAB and a camera input included; replaces the Japanese unit on an imported Demio. DJ, built 2014–2019 (MZD Connect with a 7-inch screen and the Commander knob on most trims; a basic radio without a screen on the entry trim; Japanese-import Demios carry a Japanese MZD Connect or navigation unit): 9-inch Android screen made for the DJ dashboard, Commander knob and steering-wheel buttons retained; the unit we fit on imported Demios. 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): Android screen in the factory position on imported cars, Commander knob kept; Irish cars usually stay on MZD Connect.
How long does car radio take on a Mazda 2?
Two to three hours, usually the same day on the Mazda 2 DE and DJ. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit car radio on a Mazda 2?
On every 2 we work on — DE and DJ — the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and speakers, the reverse camera and the climate controls stay; the new unit adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input.
Do I need to book car radio 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.
