Update the Gracenote database to the latest version

I’m not familiar with that the newest Mazda infotainment systems. Can you not play your music from a USB memory stick through the type usb-c ports?

Thanks for the response. I've not tried but the handbook says the usb-c ports are for charging only.

The usb-c ports in the rear are for charging only but the ports in the front console can be used for usb audio and for an Android Auto or Apple Carplay connection. I suspect that one of the front ports can be used for Gracenote database updates but I haven't attempted this yet on my 2024.

Should work the same whether type A or C. It's still a USB.

The ports in the center console (storage box) should work for that but if they are C you need proper usb stick thats C or adapter

Hmm. I couldn't get it to install on my 2016. It's the only file on the USB drive. Strange.

You must format your drive as FAT32

I have 2019 CX5 Signature.
Just uploaded 74.00.324A No issues
Region is NA Canada
Now want to upload update to Gracenote.
Format fresh USB key. Same one I used to load update to firmware. Download and load Gracenote_ADR_January2022.up. Also tried Gracenote 1.1.1.03399_NA.mcg
Car recognizes the USB key.
I select Update under Setting/System.
Does not recognize the file.

What am I doing wrong?? Thanks

The update is for the latest MAZDA CONNECT infotainment system.
You need another version to update the older infotainment system which is called MZD Connect.

You could do a 5 second Internet search for Gracenote and learn that it's one of the longest-running providers of music metadata.
