I've got the 2017 Mazda 6 tourer and my wife's got a 2016 Mazda 2. I'd love it for both cars to have carplay, but it's not a definite requirement!
https://twitter.com/TheJacobBrown the 'Mazda PR Guy' still states it's coming but no dates, i'm getting less and less trusting as the months roll on!
I had the deep crystal blue in my 2014 Mazda 6 and loved it, just got a 2017 one and found it difficult to choose a new colour (didn't want to get the same as people would not know it's a new car lol!) So went for the machine grey, and it is fantastic!!!
The Honda app is not actually an app it's a link back to the standard interface from Honda, then there'l be another icon or sub-menu on the honda app to take you back into ACP
I've got the old NB1 in my 6 and really like the tomtom sat nav, my wife has a new 2 with the MZD connect system and i'm not too keen on the Nav, I think if I tried it a few more times i'd get the hang of it more - we'll see when my new 2017 6 sport arrives! As for routes you don't need the live...
