Greetings,
I have been shopping around for a SUV \ crossover for a few months now, and a 2018 CX-5 has become available at my local Mazda dealership. The price offering the dealership has given me is quite attractive, plus I absolutely love how this CX-5 drives.
My question is, this 2018 CX-5 does not include Apple Car Play, however there is an upgrade available, and I believe it costs around $400 (from some Googling). I come from an IT background, and have watched a number of YouTube videos, so I feel that this is a task that I could do on my own (recognize there is some dash and console dismantling). Before I purchase this vehicle, I want to ensure that the dealer installs the most recent firmware for the Mazda’s Connect infotainment system. I will be checking the car again tomorrow and will verify what version is currently installed.
I am interested if anyone could let me know what would be the most recent Mazda Connect firmware version number for a 2018 CX-5, just so can specify when I meet with the dealer again tomorrow. Also, in case geographic location has any relevance, I live in Canada, and I know that this CX-5 was assembled in Japan, but for a North American market.
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this
Cheers,
Torbuck
