For those that have android auto/car play installed, when using NAV application like Waze, does it display the direction on the HUD?
No HUD directions. I regularly use apple maps, google maps, or waze.
One bit of info I can share, not sure if this useful to any one else: my dealer in Massachusetts will be able to order CarPlay retrofit parts for any customers on November 16, with an expected arrival to the dealer on November 19. They will be able to do the install on any Mazda Connect-equipped car. They're charging $375 for the parts and the labor to do the install. I know it can be done cheaper DIY but I'm not eager to take my dash apart myself so I'll be taking them up on that offer once they get the kits in.
I noticed that when I have the power window lock switch on/locked, I cannot control the passenger windows from my driver side console. Is this how it's always been, new with the new firmware, or did I mess something up?

Thought I posted this earlier...I spoke with my Mazda dealer and told me the same thing, November 19th is the day for installation. I informed the Service Mgr., I would be the beta tester. They are installing the module at invoice price, as part of the negotiation on my 2018 CX-9 Sig. Can't Wait. I was told that were waiting on warranty authorization from Mazda corporate.
Peace and blessings,

I was under the impression that 2018s got this retrofit for free, have they reneged on this?
Hi guys,
My '18 CX 5 Touring does not have Mazda Nav, so when I press the Nav button, a nice display of compass and elevation appears - which I really like! Does any one know if the Apple Carplay upgrade would affect this?
Thanks much
Fred
the 2018 CX-9 (Signature, i think) has Carplay and Android already - see 1:18 on vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_Jbp5XAuyo
it's in cantonese with no subs but i speak it and he doesn't go into at all, just a quick blurb. wonder why it's taking so long to roll out here
Sorry if this is old info.
I'm at Mazda service and the service rep clearly stated ACP will be offered as a free upgrade in January. This applies to all 2018 GT and Signature trim CX-9's and Mazda 6's.
If you want the upgrade now, you'll have to pay for it. If anyone has heard conflicting info, I'm just the messenger, LoL. Have a great day.
I hope this is true. I contacted Mazda Canada about AA/ACP about a month and a half ago and they told me kick rocks. I don't really care for AA/ACP, but if it's free, I'll take it, lol.
