If you're driving a 2013 Mazda 3 and still stuck with the outdated factory radio, it’s time for a serious tech upgrade. At Strathfield Car Radios, we recently installed the all-new Kenwood DMX80AXS into a customer’s Mazda 3—and the result was a seamless transformation in both looks and functionality.

A Big Screen That Makes a Big Difference

The Kenwood DMX80AXS features a massive 9-inch floating capacitive touchscreen, delivering an ultra-modern dashboard experience. The high-definition display is crystal clear and highly responsive, making it a joy to use whether you're navigating, streaming music, or taking calls. Thanks to its adjustable mount, we were able to perfectly position the screen for optimal viewing in the Mazda 3, while keeping the installation sleek and factory-like.

What makes the DMX80AXS even more impressive is its wide vehicle compatibility—it’s designed to fit over 300 car models using the right combination of facia kits and wiring harnesses. Whether you own a Mazda, Toyota, Ford, Holden, Subaru, Hyundai, or another popular make, this head unit integrates smoothly with factory features like steering wheel controls and reverse cameras. This flexibility makes it one of the most in-demand floating screen upgrades available in Australia.

Smart Features That Modern Drivers Love

The DMX80AXS is packed with features that make every drive more connected, safer, and more enjoyable:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto – Connect your smartphone wirelessly for maps, messages, calls, and music, all voice-controlled and distraction-free

• High-Resolution Audio Support – Enjoy premium sound with support for high-res audio formats, enhancing the clarity and depth of your music

• Bluetooth Hands-Free Calling & Audio Streaming – Stay safe and hands-free on the road while enjoying your favourite playlists

• Dual USB Inputs – Charge and connect multiple devices at once

• Rear Camera Input – Easily integrates with your existing or new reverse camera for added safety

We paired the Kenwood unit with the appropriate Aerpro facia and integration harness for the Mazda 3, ensuring all factory steering wheel controls were retained—no cutting, no hassle.

Why the Kenwood DMX80AXS?

This new model is a major leap forward for drivers wanting a large display without sacrificing compatibility or aesthetics. It’s particularly ideal for vehicles like the Mazda 3 where dash space is limited, but the new trapazoid screen design gives it the flexibility to fit just right.

Looking for an Alternative?

If you're shopping around, another great option is the Pioneer DMH-AP6650BT. This unit offers a flush 9” capacitive touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and excellent sound tuning capabilities. It’s perfect for drivers who prefer a slightly more compact, in-dash solution while still getting the full suite of smart features.
