Mazda BT-50 Introduces Premium Infotainment Upgrade

Mazda has just announced an exciting addition to its lineup of accessories for the popular BT-50 ute range. This new dealer-fit premium infotainment package is set to enhance the driving experience for Mazda enthusiasts. What’s interesting is that not only can customers order this package for new dual-cab utes, but it can also be retro-fitted to existing vehicles.

The BT-50 Premium Infotainment Upgrade accessory package consists of a state-of-the-art 11-inch WXGA touch-screen head unit, developed by Alpine Electronics. Equipped with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and HEMA off-road navigation compatibility, this infotainment system is perfect for tech-savvy drivers. Additionally, the bundle includes an uprated speaker set that replaces the factory-fitted sound system with a 300W Hi-Res-grade driver and extra Hi-Fi Audio Certified tweeters.

Mazda Australia marketing director Alastair Doak describes the upgraded infotainment system as an “ideal companion for longer trips on the open road.” This enhanced audio experience is specifically designed for drivers who appreciate high-quality car audio.

It is interesting to note that while the 2024 Mazda BT-50 missed out on some of the Isuzu D-MAX’s new-generation tech highlights, Mazda is making up for it with this premium infotainment upgrade. While the new system is dealer-fitted, it comes with the added benefit of being covered by Mazda’s five-year factory warranty, similar to other Mazda Genuine Accessories.

Mazda continues to impress with its commitment to enhancing the driving experience for its customers. With the introduction of this premium infotainment upgrade, Mazda BT-50 owners now have the opportunity to enjoy a cutting-edge audiovisual experience in their vehicles.
