Customer Testimonial

Many thanks to Andrew W in Tech Support. I received a stereo, and I entered my car make and model when I ordered, but the unit would not fit without significant mods. Andrew walked me through the process, and helped me select a different unit that will fit and meet my wants.

Contrary to popular belief, this is designed specifically to use with Bose. The PAC AOEM-MAZ2 is nothing more than a PAC OEM-1 Bose interface (black box) with a Mazda harness adapter. But it will work with non-bose radios as well. Just make sure to lower the voltage on the OEM-1 unit when pairing to amplified inputs.



I own a 2009 Mazdaspeed3 with Bose. Most are aware that Mazda made a minor change in harness PIN arrangement from 2008.5 Mazdas and up. In my application, everything works flawlessly except for the remote lead. My amps are signal sensing and did not require it.



Installation was straightforward. I had to max out the voltage on the OEM-1 box as Bose HU's put out a very low voltage signal. The noise floor is still a little high but tolerable. The low frequency roll-off (inherent in most Bose HUs) is still there but not as aggressive.



For the price I feel this is well worth the cost. Good job PAC.

The harness fit perfectly and did exactly what it said it would. It delivers crisp and clear sound. Going 6 months strong.
