Gracenote Update

Thanks you for letting us know a new version is finally out.

Thanks for the heads-up!
I was wondering if Mazda is going to update Gracenote.

I was wondering if Mazda is going to update Gracenote.

I was wondering that too, but eventually, yes…

It's not for old MazdaConnect on my 2017 CX5 and MX5. But I found Toyota version, but it's the same version as I have already. I guess we're stuck at 2022 Jan.

Thanks. That's a big file (nearly 1 GB).

That older version is called MZD Connect

I tried updating this today and got an "Unable to update" error. Then I noticed I already had this same version installed in January of 2024:

So my car thinks this update file is 1.1.1.03126 and won't proceed with the update.

Despite the file being named Gracenote_1.1.1.03399_NA.

Something is clearly not right. I would double-check it.

Is the new update file the only Gracenote update file on your USB stick, and is it located in the root directory?
Maybe the file is incomplete or corrupted in some way?
Download it again and put it on another USB stick.

Yes.

I will try it again. But it detected it as version 1.1.1.03126, and did not say it was corrupt.

I also have two entries in the Gracenote (EU version) history from January 2024.
As you can see in my picture, that has nothing to do with the new November 2025 update.

I only showed the picture to show when I had last updated and to what version, and to confirm it did not complete.

I just downloaded the file again and when I tried to update, I get this, same as yesterday:

Again, showing the wrong version number.

But this time, it completed successfully. Last time, it said it was unable to update. It's possible that file was corrupted somehow.

Here it is with the correct version number now:

Strange.

Is Gracenote only used when playing files from USB stick?

Strange.

That's strange indeed…

Music played via Bluetooth is supported as well.
