Hey everyone, hoping someone here has dealt with this before!

Just installed an aftermarket head unit in my 2007
Mazda6 wagon (GG/GY gen, automatic A/C). Everything works great, audio, Bluetooth, screen, but I can't get the CAN Bus communicating, steering wheel controls working, or HVAC data displaying.

What l've tried:
- Every single CAN Bus profile available, all show as
"Disconnected"
- Xinbas-Mazda-Mazda6-2004~2010-All is the only one that shows anything in Car Info (fuel stats only, but not actually updating)
- All custom settings and toggles turned on in Car Info
- All connectors confirmed properly seated (8-pin and
10-pin to motherboard)
- No separate CAN Bus box, built into the unit
- Supplier is sending a replacement motherboard under warranty

Key info:
- 2007 Mazda6 wagon GG/GY gen
- Automatic A/C (not manual)
- I believe the 2007 uses a resistive/analog SWC system rather than true CAN Bus, could this be the issue?

Is this just a compatibility issue with this generation Mazda6? Is there a specific adapter or wiring trick I'm missing? Any help massively appreciated!

Hey Mazda6 crew!

Just installed an aftermarket Android head unit in my 2007 Mazda6 wagon and can't get the steering wheel controls or HVAC display working. Everything else is great , audio, Bluetooth, screen all fine.

Every CAN Bus profile shows as disconnected. The only one that shows anything at all in Car Info is Xinbas-Mazda-Mazda6-2004~2010-All, but it only shows fuel stats and they don't actually update while driving.

I've been told the 2007 GG/GY wagon uses a resistive/analog SWC system rather than true CAN Bus , could this be why nothing is working? Is there a specific adapter or workaround that someone has found for this generation?

Supplier is sending a replacement motherboard but not confident that's the fix. Has anyone cracked this? Any help appreciated! 🙏
