Japanese import conversion
Mazda Japanese to English Stereo Conversion
Imported a Mazda from Japan with a Japanese-only stereo or navigation? We convert it to English, or replace it with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
Sorting your imported Mazda
Most Mazda models imported from Japan arrive with a Japanese-only head unit or satellite navigation. We fix exactly that: either converting the factory system to English where it is supported, or replacing it with a modern unit that runs Google and Apple maps.
For many Mazda imports the best-value option is a wireless CarPlay and Android Auto head unit. You get English menus, maps that actually update, and full phone integration, instead of an outdated Japanese GPS. Tell us your model and year and we will recommend the smarter option and the installed price.

No more guessing at Japanese menus.
Maps that work in NZ
Current Google or Apple maps instead of old Japanese GPS.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Can you convert my Mazda import stereo to English?
On many Mazda imports, yes. Some factory units convert to English menus and voice, while others are better replaced with a modern wireless CarPlay and Android Auto unit. Send us your model and year and we will tell you which applies.
Should I convert or replace the unit in my Mazda?
If you want current maps, a touchscreen and phone integration, replacing the Japanese unit with a CarPlay and Android Auto head unit is usually the better value. If you want to keep the factory look, a language conversion may be the answer where it is supported.
Will my reverse camera and radio still work?
In most cases yes. We keep a factory reverse camera working where fitted, and we retune the radio so it receives New Zealand FM stations, which imported cars often miss.
