Mazda Connect Firmware 74.00.230A (now .324A)

74.00.324A is now also available for NORTH AMERICAN MARKET NA N and EU N (Europe)

NO DO NOT HAVE 74.00.324A FOR 4A N (ADR)
I have been using the Motorola MA-1 to do wireless AA. Worked great for 6 months then stopped. Reset does not fix. Want to update firmware to see if that does anything.
Thanks for the firmware update!
 
Please note the OP has directly copied my files in his first post, but I can not amend it.

There has been a change in what Version Numbers to now Install and this depends on what Version is currently running in your Mazda today.

Install Procedure...
(All Mazda Models already on Stage 2 .up firmware in use).


IF YOUR MAZDA HAS FIRMWARE VERSION ON or BELOW
55.00.600 NA N for North America, or,
56.00.000 EU N or 4A N for Europe/UK , or Australia, Asia, NZ, Oceania Middle East.
LIKE 31.00.100 or 41.00.000 or 55.00.000 (NA N) or 56.00.000A (EU N or 4A N).
THEN YOU MUST UPDATE with Version Number 70.00.100A First!.
THIS IS A TWO (2) FILE INSTALLATION FOR YOUR REGION or COUNTRY.

70.00.100A-FAILSAFE.UP (First)
Then next Install (one after the other do not remove the USB Flash Drive).
70.00.100A-REINSTALL.UP (Last)

Warning...!!!
DO NOT TURN OFF/ON or START ENGINE BETWEEN THIS
TWO FILE UPDATE, you INSTALL ONE after THE OTHER
DO NOT REMOVE USB FLASH DRIVE.


AFTER INSTALL use YOUR ''CONNECT'' in CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN SHUTDOWN CAR FOR THE LAST FINAL VERSION TO INSTALL.

Next you MUST do final and last below.....
----------------------------------------------------------

Your FINAL Install Procedure is now Only a 1 (one) File Installation...
(All Mazda Models with .up Firmware use)


IF YOUR MAZDA HAS .up FIRMWARE VERSION ON or ABOVE
55.00.650A
(NA N) or the 56.00.100A (EU N or 4A N) or 58.00.310A
or Any 59.00.502A or 59.00.650A,
or Any 70's Firmware like 70.00.021A, 70.00.100A or 70.00.110 or
70.00.150A or 70.00.335C or 70.00.367A or 74.00.230A or 74.00.311A
THEN YES YOU CAN UPDATE Directly to 74.00.324A for LATEST FIRMWARE.

This is now a SINGLE FILE (1) ONLY INSTALLATION for
YOUR REGION or COUNTRY,


MUST USE EITHER ONE of...

NA N_74.00.324A-UPDATE.UP (North America ONLY)
or
EU N_74.00.324A -UPDATE.UP (Europe/UK)
or

FROM MAZDA JAPAN As Of December 30th, 2022.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALL 7x.00.xxxx FIRMWARE INCLUDES the Software for
CAR PLAY + ANDROID-AUTO....But...


For the CP/AA CONVERSION TO ACTUALLY WORK IN YOUR MAZDA
You MUST HAVE THE TWO ''GENUINE MAZDA PARTS'' INSTALLED
AFTER any 7X.00.XXXX is installed and or WORKING in YOUR CAR FIRST.

THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS or OTHER BRAND PARTS...None, DO NOT ASK.

YOU MUST PURCHASE and INSTALL the TWO GENUINE MAZDA PARTS LAST.

DO NOT INSTALL THESE NEW PARTS FIRST or BEFORE ANY 70s FIRMWARE OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE NEW PARTS RE-INSTALL THE OLD PARTS AND THEN START AGAIN.

YOU CAN NOT SEPARATE THIS CARPLAY and or ANDROID-AUTO
AS THEY ARE BOTH INSTALLED WITH all 7x.00.xxx FIRMWARE.

CARPLAY and ADROID-AUTO WILL NEVER WORK WITHOUT THE
TWO ''GENUINE MAZDA PARTS'' Finally INSTALLED Last...PERIOD.

Hi @ASH8, I'm looking for updating my 2016 Mazda 3 5x NA to 74.00.324A NA to add my Mazda 3 with Carplay function. Could you please share the link to download the firmware with me? Thank you for your support!!
 
Thanks to those running this forum - you're helping out countless Mazda owners.

I've downloaded 'cmu150_NA_74.00.324A_update.up' and related files.

My hash values for the .up file are as follows, both of which check as verified / valid against the values in the supplied .txt file:
MD5: 49C7C7A834CA40CBBBB68F29EE696475
SHA-1: 975935BD09E9EA90CFEC22AE87D66B310A2242E3

Here's my question:
  1. Is this 'cmu150_NA_74.00.324A_update.up' FW update applicable to / compatible with my 2017 CX-9 GT?
  2. Are there any issues updating the 2017 CX-9 GT (assuming proper steps are followed)?
  3. What improvements have users seen for 74.00.324A versus the 70.00.335C FW version?

BTW, I've already upgraded the FW from 70.00.100A to 70.00.335C, so I'm pretty confident I can properly follow the steps / instructions.

Thanks in advance.
 
I have not updated the firmware for my 2018 since I took delivery. It's still on version 59.XX.XXX.

I don't have ACP or AA, and don't plan to add it anytime soon, but would I see any benefit in updating the firmware to the current version? Or should I just leave it as it?
 
Ordered the hardware for CarPlay. This was the one thing I missed going from my old Nissan’s third party radio to my first CX-5. So getting it on this one is awesome! The faster charging will also be appreciated by my 13 Pro Max.
 
74.00.324A 4A N (ADR) is now available.

That means ALL markets that use .up Firmware all use this latest versions in most of Mazda's worldwide markets...YOU MUST USE THE CORRECT REGION BELOW for your Mazda Model.

74.00.324A NA N for North America, USA, Canada, Mexico, etc.
74.00.324A EU N for Europe and UK, etc.
74.00.324A 4A N (ADR) for Australia, NZ, Middle East, Thailand, South Africa, Oceania, etc.

I updated to 70.00.335 NA N and i have noticed a difference in screen tectures and quickness of unit to boot up as well as other changes. IMO I think it was worth doing. 2018 CX9. OS 59.xx - 70.00.335 NA N

Thanks for the reply! Where did you download the update files?
 
Update. Still having issues with system rebooting after initial boot up. i was hoping that the update would solve this issue as the system was un-usable before on 59.xx. that said it does stabablize eventually after 2-3 reboots and is fine. the music is the only thing that reboots as phone and nav work fine. not sure if the music (Gracenote) needs updating as well with new software.
 
Hi there

Can someone please send me the update files ?

Currently on 2018 CX-9

OS version 59.00.504 NA N
Music Database Version is 00.07.000

Thanks in advance I think the latest is 74.00.324A Im looking for the NA North American Firmware by chance. :) Thanks and have a good day, cheers from Canada!!

Hi, just bought a 2019 CX-9 Touring. Checked and it has OS version 70.00.100 NA N (Failsafe Version 70.00.100). I would also like to do the update and would really appreciate it if I could get the file? Thanks!!!
 
Thanks @OCanada for sending me the 70.x update

For those who find it and update make sure your USB drive is formatted to FAT32. Mine was set to NFTS and the car did not recognize it.

@ASH8 Could you please link the most recent update to me in the PM?

Lastly does anyone know what is the most up to date Music Database version?
When I completed the update mine was upgraded from .7 to .9, but wondering if there is anything more up to date than that. Thanks in advance! :)

Found the music update in the forums : for those wondering the most up to date one is 12.003
