![]() ![]() History: These were introduced in 1998 and used through 2000.Īvailability: 1998/ NB base cars came with this unit standard. The body of the head unit says "Matsushita CQ-JM1712A". Markings: This head unit has the number 1M32 or 4M32 on the face. An in-dash casette deck was a popular option. In-door tweeters could be added with the optional 1999 Popular Equipment Package or 2000 Convenience Package. The head unit includes 4x25 (peak) Watt amplification for two speakers, one in each door. More information on each system is found later in the FAQ.ĭescription: This system includes a single-DIN head unit with an integrated AM/FM tuner and single-disc slot-loading CD player. The double-DIN silver-face units in the 2004 cars are also a bit different, so we've added a special spot for them, too. We'll call these the single-DIN, single-DIN Bose, double-DIN, and double-DIN Bose. Despite the various model numbers, there are basically four types. Q) Can you describe the different sound systems?Ī) There are a few different OEM sound systems, each with a Bose variant. So you can pull the power without fear of disabling the unit. No NB head units have the "security disable" feature (or annoyance) found on NA OEM head units. European cars apparently use Sony head units. Units with a faceplate number beginning with "1" were made by Panasonic, while those beginning with "4" were made by FMS. The actual design of the head unit is apparently farmed out to traditional audio companies like Pioneer and Alpine, but the manufacturing is done by FMS or Panasonic/Matsushita. (which was a joint-venture between Ford, Mazda, and Sanyo, but is now wholly owned by Sanyo). This is the same unit found in the Mazda6 and RX-8, and will probably be used in other Mazda products, too.Īll NB head units are made by Panasonic or FMS Audio Sdn. It also has an optional MP3-capable CD player, which is nice. The 2004 Miata comes with an updated version of the double-DIN unit with a silver bezel, slightly different buttons and display, and the new windblocker with speakers. But apart from this, the Bose and non-Bose head units are very similar. The 1M31 and 1M37 Bose units lack internal amplification entirely, while the 4H60 and 4H64 Bose head units have internal amplifiers and speed-sensitive volume control. The double-DIN also has an optional integrated in-dash 6-CD changer, MiniDisc player, and, for 2004, MP3-capable CD player.Īll NB sound systems have a Bose variant which adds a slightly different head unit, an external amplifier, and special low-resistance (.5 Ohm) speakers. An integrated cassette deck is optional on all head units. Door-mounted tweeters are optional on base cars and standard on LS and Special Edition cars. This was replaced for 2001 (for base cars) or 2002 (for LS and SE) with a Ford/Mazda modular double-DIN (tall) head unit.Īll NB Miatas (except the 2003 Club Sport) came with an AM/FM/CD head unit and at least two speakers. The earlier cars (from 1998 through 2000) came with a single-DIN (slim) in-dash receiver. There are a number of different sound systems to be found in NB cars, each available in "Bose" and "Non-Bose" variants. One of the many changes was the audio options: Every aspect of the sound system is different from the earlier cars, with the most notable differences being the loss of headrest speakers and the addition of an optional Bose "upgraded" system for the car. Single-DIN ('98-'01) Bose Double-DIN ('01-'03) Non-Boseĭouble-DIN ('02-'03) Bose Double-DIN ('04) Silver Non-BoseĪ) The second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata (commonly called the "NB" miata) was introduced in 1998 as an evolution of the original Miata (the "NA").
