Hi Crickey, can you please PM me this firmware as the link in the post is gone. Thank you.
 
I’m on 74.00.230 NA and with the iPhone and CarPlay disconnects very often. Does anyone else have this issue, and does .310 help with that? It’s my only complaint but it makes it unusable.
 
Well I am still have an issue when inserting the USB flash drive.
I am using two brands, 16MB Uno from Walmart and an older 4MB HP drive with both files loaded on both. Both drives are formatted to FAT32 with one at 4KB and the other to set to 8KB when not performing the quick format. When inserted, it goes out tries to read the drive with one progress dot or marker, stops, then displays "Wrong or Insufficient" files. Then it goes back to the bootup screen and tries again with the same result. What I am missing ?
 
Hello everyone, can @anyDude or someone else share firmware 74.00.230 for Europe?
Also, if someone has firmware 70.00.352b for Europe, I would be grateful if you share it.
 
there is no EU version released. I only obtained the NA version, that's the only one I could find and that is available. Several people have asked me for other region files now - I should have clarified in my post that it's NA only but everyone please stop asking me about other regions for v74. If you want something older I may be able to help but otherwise sorry

I sent you a DM but from now on everyone please reach out to me directly with a DM instead of just requesting on here

Guys, I think I have just obtained this new firmware 74.00.310A firmware that Hawke was talking about. I was able to guess the AWS direct download link based on previous link addresses for older files. If anyone is interested in trying it reach out to me and I can send it to you. I have no idea what the actual changes are though so if you are interested and apply the update, please let me know!
Hi anyDude, can you PM me the firmware please. I am with Mazda CX-5 Australia
 
People please, any linked 74.xx.xxx NA available here or anywhere else it's not for Europe or Australia or any other part of the world, it's North America only.
Read this: If you are in one of those regions and install 74.00.310 NA it's not possible to revert back not even dealer would help you.

Thank you MzdCX5👍What is the firmware version available for Australia? My current one is 70,00,335 4A N
 
I'm planning on upgrading from 70.00.367 NA to 74.00.310 NA at my next service visit. Mid-May. I've got a '19 GT and wondering if those with 74 are generally happy with it. Mixed reviews over within this thread.
