Solutions:

  • Check your doors and windows every time you leave the car to make sure they’re completely closed and locked. Unlocked doors and open windows pose as advertisements to thieves to target your car stereo and your other possessions in the car.
  • Park your car in a secured area, such as a garage, whenever you are able to. When parking in public, park in well-lit areas that have a lot of foot traffic. Thieves target vehicles that offer the least chance of them getting caught. Cars that are in the dark, parked near an easy escape route or are isolated from the public are more likely to suffer break-ins.
  • Keep the stock radio in your car if it works well and you like the sound quality. Thieves very rarely target or steal stock radios, because they don’t have much resale value. They also don’t fit well in different models of cars, giving them very limited usage outside of the vehicle in which they were originally installed.
  • Invest in an Mazda Android 4.4 car stereo with a removable face if you choose to upgrade your car radio from the stock model. Remove the face of the stereo and take it with you anytime you leave the car. Never leave the face in the glove box or anywhere else in the car, because people often do this and thieves will look for it.
  • Consider tinted windows to help prevent thieves from seeing what type of stereo you have in your car.

By Steve

I installed this stereo in my 09 Mazda 3. I say “stereo” but it really is so much more. It’s more like an entertainment center for my car, because it has changed the whole feel of travel. Simply put, I love this!
  • GPS
Great GPS included with accurate maps and still can use video outputs, so DVDs play to rear monitors for kiddos in the back seat.
  • APP 
All the apps I’ve tried work flawlessly and switching between them is very fast.
  • Quality
Not much else I can say other than if you are debating on this unit, take my word for it, you will be very pleased with the build quality and ease of install.
  • Audio
I should also mention the audio playback is well above stock car stereo sound and everything is crisp and clear.
  • Customer Service
On a side note, I contacted the seller to ask a question about SD card playback and was pleased to get response almost immediately. It seems that customer service is top notch as well.
