Good kit, poor instructions
Crutchfield customer from Philadelphia, PA on 1/19/2021
The instructions are very basic and it is unclear if some wires and terminals should be used or not. The kit can be used for both the oem camera connected to an aftermarket audio unit and an aftermarket camera connected to the oem audio unit. That means it makes sense for some wires/terminals not to be in use in each application but better instructions or even better a diagram would make it much easier to understand how to connect the kit. I'm pretty sure Crutchfield staff can help with that and clear any questions.

Axxess AX-MAZCAM-6V Backup Camera Harness
Crutchfield customer from Seattle, WA on 12/21/2020

A must needed item if you want to retain your OEM b/u camera. Simply follow the instructions of this wiring harness and your aftermarket stereo and you should be good to go. I had no issues so far.

Axxess AX-MAZCAM-6V Backup Camera Harness
Crutchfield customer from Herriman, UT on 9/14/2020
2010 Mazda CX-9
Works great! Made the attachment of the rear camera so easy. The head unit was labeled and so was the harness. I got it all hooked up and looks great. Sometimes websites recommend extra unnecessary stuff, but this was definitely necessary. Without it, my rear camera wouldn't work anymore. So glad I bought the harness!
Pros: Super easy installation.
Cons: Admittedly have no idea what the blue wiring harness is for... the camera is working just fine with the yellow harness.

Axxess AX-MAZCAM-6V Backup Camera Harness
Crutchfield customer from HAGERSTOWN, MD on 9/7/2020
Finally got it working properly in my 2015 Mazda 6 non-Bose the trick was connecting the blue-white wire of the converter to ignition wire rather than backup signal wire and displays the backup camera as it was before the aftermarket radio, the instructions are not right for this specific car but I made it work, I hope it help others having problems with it.
Pros: Nice product once everything is plugged right.
Cons: Instructions should be specific for each model.

Did not work as wired with my CX9
Crutchfield customer from Bloomington, IN on 7/21/2020
2008 Mazda CX-9
Did not work. Crutchfield adviser noted that their ready harness team needed to update how they install this as the way mine was wired for CX9 would not provide enough power and likely fried the harness. The solution was for me to disconnect part of their wiring an run a new wire to the fuse panel area to provide power to the camera. The adviser who helped was amazing but I opted to return the entire stereo as the ultimate solution defeated the purpose of ready harness.

Doesn't work with all Mazdas
Crutchfield customer from Berlin, CT on 4/22/2020
2011 Mazda 6
I'm sure this is a great harness when it's just plug and play, but unfortunately it didn't work with my vehicle. If you have a 2011 Mazda 6 with Bose sound system but NO factory navigation, this likely won't work for you. Luckily, Crutchfield support was great and walked me through how to splice the wires with the existing connectors in my car and I was able to get everything working perfectly.

Simple Plug and Play and Easy Install! Thank you Crutchfield!
Mathew from Lockbourne, Ohio on 12/26/2019
2012 Mazda CX-9
2012 Mazda CX9 with Bose, Nav - Replaced with Kenwood DDX396, PAC RP4 MZ11 and this backup camera harness all pre-wired by Curtchfield. This plugged right in with no problems and works great! I will never buy another aftermarket stereo without having Crutchfield wire up the harness. They did an excellent job and made my install so easy! The hardest part was figuring out the Double Din Dash Kit. Currently, I am trying to figure out how to wire my camera up to be always on rather than only working while in Reverse. I believe the Blue/Red Wire needs to be tied into the red wire from the radio wire harness but still doing research. Thanks Crutchfield for the great work and great customer service!
Pros: Very simple, just plug into vehicle harness and plug into back of stereo and put in reverse and WaLa! Backup camera picture appears! Highly recommend having Crutchfield do the wiring on all harnesses before having products delivered. Crutchfield made this install a breeze and very stress free.
Cons: No Cons here, this harness works great!

Axxess AX-MAZCAM-6V Backup Camera Harness
Crutchfield customer from Oklahoma City, OK on 12/3/2018
2015 Mazda 6
Does not work for my 2016 Mazda 6. I called support and they wanted me to cut the wires near the crimps, strip the wires and test it with a multimeter. The product should just work. My back camera is now completely useless. I'll test the product again in a few weeks when I actually have time to. But the product should just work without having to dismantle to test it.
Pros: None
Cons: Doesn't work.

Read if you have a CX-5
Kirk from Salt Lake City, UT on 11/16/2018
2014 Mazda CX-5
Vehicle install was on a 2014 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. Instructions just DID NOT work. I installed exactly how the instructions stated and I did not receive any input from the factory camera. After some time with a multi-meter I've realized that the blue/black 12V to 6V step down is UNNECESSARY for my vehicle. My second problem, maybe not related to this item, was with the PAC harness. There was no signal coming from the reverse signal wire (checked via multi-meter). I had to splice the Axxess yellow wire into the reverse signal wire BEFORE the PAC harness, check online diagrams and with a multimeter to check for 12V (don't forget to shift into reverse and put the parking brake on!). Connect the black wire to another black, ground wire and the camera connection into the stereo's camera input. It now works great, turns on every time.
Pros: Once connected correctly it does work.
Cons: Instructions are generic and not specific for each vehicle.

Build seems ok, but its not functioning with my 2014 Mazda6 oem camera. I have tried a number of wiring variations, when I drop into reverse the screen goes black, but not able to get an image to display. I have checked all the voltages, and everything is how it should be according to everything I can find documentation wise.

Does the job, does it well.
Matthew from Florida on 12/27/2017
2015 Mazda CX-5
Does the job. I found the step-down voltage regulator to be unnecessary in my 2015 CX5 GT. Just connected the adapter to the camera connector, plugged the RCA end into my stereo, and wired yellow to reverse and black to ground. Seems to be working without issue.
Pros: Simple to wire up, allows you to keep the stock camera with an aftermarket radio, or use an aftermarket camera with the stock radio.
Cons: A bit sloppy on the wiring, because of it's dual-purpose application.

Poor Picture Quality
James from Hollywood, FL on 11/23/2017
2011 Chevrolet Equinox
I used this to connect my facotry mazda 6 camera to my new PIONEER AVH491. It techniclly works but the picture quality went from crystal clear with my factory stereo, to green and fuzzy on the Pioneer. Pretty crappy looking so I might just unplug it.
Pros: Helped me get my backup camera working on 2014 Mazda 6
Cons: Instructions are pretty bad. Camera Quality is HORRIBLE

Axxess AX-MAZCAM-6v
Crutchfield customer from West Palm Beach, FL on 11/5/2017
2013 Mazda CX-5
Installed the JVC ILX107 in my 2013 Mazda CX-5. It took a while to figure out why the stock backup camera wasn't working.... then I tested the voltage, and found that it was dropping it down to 3 volts.... So the 6v part was completely unnecessary; I rewired it without the additional voltage converter and it worked correctly. (still just need to improve the ground, because the camera looks like crap occasionally). But apparently I could've saved money, though, by buying the adapter without the voltage converter.
