2017 Mazda CX-5 Touring with Bose

Great product! I have essentially zero experience installing stereos and have always had a buddy help me in the past. Installing the LOC was always the worst part as I've found you can never fully trust wiring diagrams in terms of how a color is described. I couldn't find a wiring diagram for my vehicle so I read the reviews on this and decided I'd give it a try despite the mixed results of whether or not it worked on Bose and if the remote amp turn-on wire works. Needless to say, this thing works on with my Bose system and the remote amp turn-on worked as well without cutting any wires. I simply connected the remote wire coming out of this interface straight to my amp and bam! I really only encountered one problem and that was trying to get the factory harness out so I could plug it into the interface. Maybe I was being stupid, but just to help anyone else out that gets this, in my vehicle, the harness I needed was located where many others have said. You need to take out the glove box (very simple, just Youtube how to change your cabin air filter). As you are looking at the glove box compartment, a little bit to the right there should be a silver box. I had two harnesses connected to mine. One was smaller and was pretty much invisible until I stuck my head in and looked down. The smaller one is not the one you want. You want to hook into the bigger one. My issue came in trying to get the harness out. There is a tiny piece of plastic that is visible that I thought was the release clip and I spent a good thirty minutes trying to get it out using that. Eventually, I was able to get my phone into a good enough spot to take a picture of the back side of the harness (part closest to the vehicle's outer body and voila!). Found the clip. Took about 5 minutes to get it out after that as it is in there pretty tight. My advice is just to hold the clip and tug slightly to get it started and then slowly pull out the top area and bottom area a little at a time. Once it is out, plug in what you just pulled out into the orange connector on the interface, and then plug the interface's white connector back into the TAU. Couple pictures attached. Hopefully they help. I actually hacked another reviewer's photo as it definitely helped me out. I added a couple captions in it though. Ran all of my other wires and hooked everything up and my sub is actually louder and has much cleaner sounding bass than my setup in my previous Mazda 3 where I had done the aforementioned LOC hook-in. Some reviews say this doesn't work with Bose and the remote wire doesn't work and maybe it didn't for them, but for my '17 CX-5 w/ Bose, I couldn't be more pleased. 100% worked exactly as described.

Works flawlessly in Toyota Yaris

PAC AOEM-MAZ2 is ideal to add a subwoofer to the factory installed radio. It fits perfectly my 2019 Toyota/Mazda Yaris sedan. Easy to install, it takes literally 5 minutes (a couple minutes more if you are meticulous as me). Just remove the glove box (like if you are changing the cabin air filter) and the clip secured cover under the glove box. No tools required at all, just your bare hands. It is basically plug and play. It will be totally invisible. Signal quality out of this little box is undoubtedly good for a subwoofer. I haven't tried for midrange speakers. Also, I didn't try to adjust gain, but can be done. I'm using the rca and remote outputs to feed an amplified Cerwin Vega 12" spare tire subwoofer (I will do the review for that too). Best product ever, since you don't have to cut any wire. If you want to remove it in the future for any reason, just unplug it and connect again the factory plug to the radio amplifier unit.

Works perfectly 2017 Mazda CX-5 WITH BOSE!!!!

I know it says it doesn't work with Bose systems, but that's clearly a mistake. I took a chance based on other's reviews and am perfectly happy with the success. The plugs for both the factory harness and into the TAU fit perfectly, the RCA leveler, albeit cheap looking/feeling works fine.This easily plugs into the harness in a 2017 CX-5 AWD Grand Touring behind the glove box against the outside wall. Just unclip the factory BOSE harness (this is pre amp signal too!), and plug this in between. I tucked the box further down and ran RCA cables and remote wire under foot well of passenger side, around the center console on the bottom and to the drivers side seat where I hooked up a powered underseat subwoofer from Rockville available https://www.amazon.com/Rockville-RW8CA-Under-Seat-Amplified-Subwoofer/dp/B073W5ZMWN/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=uss8+rockville&qid=1620652771&sr=8-3.This adapter took all of 5 minutes to install and saved me a good hour of splicing into the harness in very close quarters. Thank you PAC!
