Like the first generation the second generation was based on the same platform as the Ford Ranger. The exterior is quite different with only the glass and the roof shared between the two trucks, but the underpinnings and electrics are broadly similar. The radio requires a different fascia panel to the Ford Ranger but otherwise has the same workings behind the dashboard.
GT and XTR models built between 2015 and 2017 have a radio with a screen rather than the Ford 'SYNC1' style screen above the radio. A pocket is above the original radio on these models. Our fascia panel retains the original screen above the radio and leaves a gap where this pocket sits on these higher specification models, so a blanking plate must be made to fill the space.
Between 2017 and 2020 Mazda fitted a double DIN Alpine radio. A new fascia is not required for these cars.
