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!

Radio King does head unit upgrade on every Mazda CX-3 generation we see: DK (2015–2018): Most owners keep MZD Connect and add the CarPlay kit; a 9-inch Android screen with the Commander knob retained where the car is an import or the screen has failed; DK facelift (2018–2021): MZD Connect stays on Irish cars; an Android screen made for the DK dashboard on imported cars with the Japanese unit, Commander knob kept. From €290. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

FAQ
Mazda CX-3 car radio: questions people ask.
Answers for CX-3 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppIs an Android screen worth it on a CX-3 that already has MZD Connect?
Usually not on an Irish car: the retrofit kit gives you CarPlay and Android Auto on the factory screen for less and keeps everything factory. The Android screen makes sense on a Japanese import with a Japanese unit, or on a car whose MZD Connect screen has failed, because it replaces the whole unit and keeps the Commander knob.
How much does car radio cost on a Mazda CX-3?
It depends on the generation. DK (2015–2018): from €290; DK facelift (2018–2021): from €290. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Mazda CX-3 years can have car radio?
DK, built 2015–2018 (MZD Connect with a 7-inch screen and the Commander knob; Bose on higher trims; Japanese imports carry a Japanese MZD Connect unit): Most owners keep MZD Connect and add the CarPlay kit; a 9-inch Android screen with the Commander knob retained where the car is an import or the screen has failed. DK facelift, built 2018–2021 (MZD Connect with a 7-inch screen and the Commander knob; CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory on most cars from late 2018): MZD Connect stays on Irish cars; an Android screen made for the DK dashboard on imported cars with the Japanese unit, Commander knob kept.
How long does car radio take on a Mazda CX-3?
Two to three hours, usually the same day on the Mazda CX-3 DK. 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 CX-3?
On every CX-3 we work on — DK — 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 CX-3, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (DK) 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.
