Being such a new car best bet is try some late model wreckers otherwise your only other option is buy new.

Remember with a modern car to be VERY careful about how the wiring is done. Too many supposed towbar experts have very little understanding of this.
Sure, on many cars a cheap bypass kit may be fine, but on others it can cause all sorts of problems from parking sensors going ape, to transmission problems to your ending up in a ditch when something goes wrong because the cars computer didn't know a trailer was connected. (So won't turn on a trailer stability program or possibly won't anticipate its own stability program properly).
You even get the occasional backyard monkey that still try's to wire the trailers lights directly to the cars like its the 1980's, they of course risk ruining the cars ECU at great cost.
The Mazda may well most likely be absolutely fine with a cheap bypass kit but it would still make sense to check.

Mazspare may have a factory geniune second hand one,you just need somebody to fit it as the Mazda Dealer or specalised towbar places may only fit new ones.I had the same problem with getting a second hand one for my Honda but I got myself a geniune factory secondhand from the Honda wreckers and my mechanic fitted it for me.
