Guide Mazda Firmware Update Information

[Candurin]

I've been having zero issues with iOS 18. Both my iPhone 13 and now 16 have worked without issues.

Just offering a positive data point.

What kind of issues are people seeing with iOS 18? I’m on 18.2.1 and .324A and haven’t had anything out of the ordinary happen. My GPS is horrible on this phone, and was on iOS 17 as well.

 

[Gozo]

I’m on 70.XXXX and when I upgraded the phone to iOS 18 I could no longer get iMessages to show in the screen and while listening to radio or USB, if a phone call came through, after the call, the left audio channel remained muted. Turning off the car or unplugging the phone restored that. I use cable for connect, same issues with Bluetooth but obviously can’t unplug, have to disconnect and reconnect.

I had issues with iOS 18 and taking calls when Apple Maps was navigating. It would crash back to the Mazda infotainment screen. Or then after updating to iOS 18.2, activating Siri would crash the system with Mobile Device IO error. After updating to 74.00.324_NA, it seems to have fixed the Siri and taking calls while navigating issues.

My understanding is that you can. Keep in mind you will lose Japanese radio stations if you choose to go that route (due to frequency differences).

Hi @Candurin, in my case, I live in Europe… I want to update from a North American version to a EU version on a 21 CX5 GT(US import) w the new gen infotainment system. Will this work? Thanks.

Unfortunately you cannot change regions with the new units yourself. I say that because there are some places online (I haven’t looked into it) that can change the regions for you for a fee. The older (6th) gen could be done with a simple FW change.

I've been having issues with Android Auto recently on 2019 CX5 GT (not sure when it started because I thought it was the cable initially and ignored it). My FW is 74.00.324 NA N already. I tried with two phones Galaxy S23 Ultra and Pixle 7 Pro and none of them worked. After connecting via USB, I get the pop-up that says "To use Android Auto, stop the vehicle when it is ...." but nothing happens on my phones after that (phone does show Android Auto connected, but the infotainment system still shows "To use Android Auto, stop the vehicle when...")
Region: US
Everything was working perfectly until a few weeks ago, so I guess this should be due to a software update. Any thoughts?

Worked like charm.

Hi All,

I'm new to the Mazda world, having just purchased a 2017 CX-5 Akera. Does anyone have good links for buying a genuine Mazda Apple CarPlay upgrade kit?

I’m based in Australia and want to ensure I get an authentic part. There are a ton of options on Amazon, but I’d rather avoid buying a dud.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

Hiya,

I have a 2018 Mazda 2 in the UK that already has Carplay installed.

Currently on

OS 70.00.367 EU N
Music 00.09.000
Failsafe 70.00.367

Could anyone help me get on the latest firmware?

I live in Israel. Any software updates for it?

 

[erck33]

I have a 2017 cx-5 and upgraded to android auto/apple years ago and recently ran into an issue with the infotainment system restarting every few minutes. Current running firmware version 70.00.100 Na N. I'm hoping updating to the latest firmware version will remedy my issue.

Can someone please PM the latest firmware version?

Region: USA (if it matters)

How does one actually update a newer CX-5 (2021+)? I can find instructions for the older models but not for the new ones.

 

[Candurin]

I sent you the instructions. I am also attaching them to this post for other members who might need them.

 

[cellcall]

Sent a PM to @Candurin with the details, really appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

 

[DonVulpes]

Just wanted to add my thanks to everyone who posted guides and the files needed to do the upgrade. I assumed it was something only a dealer could do, but successfully did my UK Mazda 3 this morning and now run the latest firmware

 

[briancatell]

I have a 2016 Mazda 3 I touring and my phone keeps dropping from my system saying blue tooth device not detected. This issue has persisted over multiple phones and resets of the system. I have the base system no android auto running firmware Os 55.00.753 NA N. Do you think upgrading firmware could help? or just upgrade the system. I would like the firmware as well please.
