Successful update on a 2018 CX-5
I just updated mine right now on my 2018 CX-5 from OS Version 59.00.532 straight to the latest 70.00.335 using a USB thumb drive I formatted Fat32 on a PC (not Mac).
The files are
HERE
I read that Mac adds some files which can 'confuse' the car's reading one file (just in case).
I just started the process and set my timer for 20 min to go back and tap the brake. I also DON'T trust my feet so I did everything from the passenger side! The whole process only took @24 min.
I'm posting the instructions (for
my upgrade) as text here for future people - sometimes it's easier to just have everything in one spot:
1. Switch ignition OFF.
2. Remove SD card and all other devices (USB devices, mobile phones, AUX devices).
3. Switch ignition to ACC position.
4. Wait until MZD has started, select AM or FM radio.
5. Start Diagnostic Test Screen by Pressing at the same time for 2 seconds
Music ( ) + Favourite ( ) + Volume Mute ( )
on command switch until Diagnostic Test Screen will appear.
6. Use the touchscreen to input 3 on test screen and then select ENTER and
CLEAR.
7. Input 2 on test screen and then select ENTER. (This will internally clear earlier set DTCs in CMU).
Select CLEAR and then EXIT.
8. Switch ignition OFF, close all doors (incl. bonnet and lift gate), lock vehicle with remote, keep all
remote transmitters 5 m or more from the vehicle, and wait for 3 minutes (CMU sleep mode).
9. Unlock vehicle with remote control and switch ignition to ACC.
10. Insert USB stick with CMU update software and wait for message that USB is recognized.
11. Start Diagnostic Test Screen, enter 99 and select ENTER on screen.
12. Select Reinstallation Package and on next screen Install or Update.
13. Complete installation of Reinstall / Update Package will take about 40 minutes.
Preparing to update, black screen and Update process bar will appear. Reinstallation will start
from 0%, the progress bar will gradually increase to 100%. The update progress bar may
pause for several minutes, please wait, DO NOT SWITCH IGNITION OFF OR RESTART.
In order to avoid the ACC power being turned off automatically during CMU update,
press and release clutch pedal (MT) or the brake pedal (AT) after approx. 25 minutes to
reset power safe function. This will disable CMU sleep mode for next 25 minutes.
Please set a timer as a reminder for you. (set a timer for 20 min Just in CASE!)
14. A message to restart the vehicle will be shown short time after update reached 100%
DO NOT
RESTART, just switch IGNITION OFF without pressing brake or clutch pedal.
19. Remove USB stick, close all doors (incl. bonnet and lift gate), lock vehicle with remote, keep all remote
transmitters 5 m or more from the vehicle, and wait for 3 minutes (CMU sleep mode).
20. Unlock the vehicle and switch ignition to ACC.
Wait 1 minute without any operation of any switch of any system.
21. Confirm the software version in MZD settings.
22. Switch ignition OFF and insert Navigation-SD card.
23. Switch ignition ON and check system for operation step by step (Navigation, WiFi, Connected Service,
Radio, Bluetooth, USB, etc.)
I don't have Apple Car Play (it's a lease) but I wanted to see if the Radio System just starts faster.
