General FAQs
However, it's crucial to understand that we cannot guarantee the retention of all factory rear cameras. Different camera models operate at different voltages: some might run on 6v while others on 12v. Our units operate on 12 volts. If your camera runs on 6 volts, it can be retained using a 12v to 6v step down module. This step down module is not included in our bundle packages and needs to be purchased separately as a single item. We advise checking your car's manual to determine the voltage at which your rear camera operates if you're considering retaining it.
Given that many factory cameras are designed for smaller in-car screens, they often come with lower resolutions. When these are projected onto our larger screens, the image quality may not be optimal, leading to a pixelated or unclear view. Recognizing this potential disparity in resolution and screen size, we strongly recommend upgrading to our 1080p camera. This higher resolution camera ensures a crisper, clearer image that's designed for bigger displays, thereby enhancing safety and the overall driving experience. For specific details tailored to your vehicle or for more information on camera upgrades, please contact our service team.
Setup and Installation FAQs
1. What's Zlink?
Zlink is a feature that lets your car's display (head unit) show and control apps from your phone, like maps or music. But, if you want the display to connect directly to the internet via WiFi, Zlink can sometimes get in the way.
2. Disconnect from Zlink:
On your car's display, find the Zlink option and disconnect or turn it off.
3. Avoid Zlink Reconnecting Automatically:
In the Zlink settings on the display, there might be a feature called auto-connect' or similar. Make sure it's turned off so Zlink won't try to reconnect by itself.
4. Connect to WiFi:
Now, go to the WiFi settings on your car's display, find your desired WiFi network, and connect as you would with a phone or computer.

Considering an Upgrade for Your Mazda BT50?
If You’ve Got the Keyboard Trim Model:
You’re in luck – the Keyboard Trim model is an easy upgrade. It’s a straight plug-and-play install, so you won’t need to mess around with wiring or modifications.
The new unit fits perfectly, and with modern features like Bluetooth and GPS, you’ll be back on the road enjoying the drive in no time. If you’ve got the Keyboard Trim version, just select it on the product page, and you’re good to go.
If You’ve Got a GT/XTR or 2018/19 Trim Model:
Now, if you’ve got the GT/XTR or 2018/19 Trim, I won’t sugarcoat it – the install takes a bit more work. But if you’re serious about upgrading your old radio system, it’s absolutely doable with the right help.
These models don’t have plug-and-play wiring, so you’ll need someone with proper experience to handle it. A good auto electrician will need to solder the connections using your car’s wiring diagram. The fascia might also need a bit of adjustment on the back to fit snugly in the dash. And as for the steering wheel controls, they may need some extra tweaking to get them working, but it's not impossible.
Honestly, not many people know how to handle this install properly, but if you’re in the Gold Coast area, there’s someone we can recommend with full confidence. Our installer up there has done this kind of work countless times, and you can count on him to get it sorted right the first time.
Here’s the Bottom Line:
If you’ve got the Keyboard Trim model, it’s a breeze – plug it in, and you’re set. If you’ve got one of the other trims, it’ll take a bit more time and expertise, but it’s totally worth it once it’s done. Modern features like Bluetooth, GPS, and wireless streaming will make every drive feel fresh again.
At the end of the day, it’s not just about a new radio – it’s about making your car feel a bit more modern and enjoyable. If you’re ready for the upgrade, you know what to do.
