infotainment

As I've mentioned last week, I've got a 2025 Mazda with the 7th generation infotainment and I am trying to get accustomed to it. I've got few questions, maybe you have some answers: 1. I bought an SD card from e-bay, managed to update the map to the latest release, September 2025. However, it...

Heya I'm in the process of upgrading my multimedia & hardware to support AA on my 2014 Mazda3. I upgraded from 29.xx, to 31.xx, to 56.xx, to 70.xx but after updating to 70, the car no longer detects any USB (trying to upgrade to 74.x) Did a full reset (battery disconnect for 20min)...

Received an email from Mazda telling me that my 2025 CX-5 had SirrusXM available for the Thanksgiving holidays. See link. I go to SirrusXM on my Infotainment screen and I only get channel 1 of SirrusXM with a telephone number to enroll. My wife's 2024 CRV showed the free period channels no...

I purchased a cheap dongle. It connects fine, but on my phone it shows as Bluetooth connected, but my Wi-Fi shows as Mazda. My phone then doesn't let me connect to Pandora and use my play list. Oddly enough, I can make calls on the phone. Any idea how to resolve this? Simply deleting the...

Is there a new firmware update available that will enable interacting with the new ios 26 widgets in carplay for the 22 without the touch screen? They show they select but you cannot interact at all with them rendering most useless. Thanks!

I just picked up a new CX-5 Premium Plus Turbo. I went to exchange my sim card from my 2022 CX-5 to the new CX-5 and it doesn't fit. The 2025 has a different plug-in type. The dealer was NO help. That sure is taking the JOY from my new Mazda. 😭 I'm not sure what to do now?

I was about to attach the last wire from the updated CarPlay USB-C hub to the head unit, when I found the wires don’t match…the existing unit/blue wire is single prong, while the new wire is expecting more than one. Such a bummer because the dash is in pieces and I’m stuck. Any other USB units...

Hi all! My CX-5 is a 2016.5 Touring. Just lately, the audio function in my 2016.5 system has completely died. The control knob elicits zero response from the Music section of the display. No FM, no AM, no CDs, no ... any other audio source. Just before it went dead, the sound was garbled; it...

I am wondering what the Icons on the lower right on the screen on my screen mean? My owner’s manual doesn't seem to explain. Thanks, Hank

Hi All. I've tried searching, to no avail. But my question relates to the Mazda navigation app on my 2021 CX-5. When using Mazda's app, the locations of gas stations are shown on the screen. Often, especially along the Interstate Highway System, the number of gas stations shown is...

Hi all, I have recently been given the link to upgrade my UK Mazda 3 (2018) infotainment system from the 59.0 version to the 74.0 version, however I need help getting it to open so that I can put it on a USB stick and start to do the upgrade. The link has downloaded as a UP file type and there...

Hi everyone, I have a 2021 Mazda CX-5 with Apple CarPlay. Apple put some really nice widgets, 3 widgets I am able to access one, the clock, but unable to access the other 2. Anyone have an idea? Sorry for the poor English, French is my language.

Bought a slightly used 2023 CX-9 ("stage" 2) a few days ago. I traded-in my ancient CX-9 that had a built-in CD changer. But I don't understand how to transfer my CD collection to the 2023 CX-9, and playback using one (or both?) of the jacks in the center armrest. I understand it involves first...

Hi all! I got the new hub and cables today and I'm planning on installing it this coming weekend. I've seen quite a few different guides online, and I'm realizing there are a few different ways of doing this (mainly how to run the cables from the head unit to the USB unit behind the center...

Hey all, I have a 2016.5 CX5 GT (favorite car I've ever owned). I bought a Carplay dongle device. It shows up in the USB selector as "Apple Device" but every time I try to connect to it I get "Authentication failure." Was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this?

Hi all, I am posting in an attempt to get in touch with someone who has the update file for a 2022 CX-5 TCU. I am getting spammed with notifications in the Mazda app that there is an "in-vehicle communication network malfunction." I unenrolled in the connected services after my free trial...

Hey all! I just bought a 2017 CX-5 GS this morning. I was looking into ways of adding Android Auto and I came across a method where you add and extra screen instead of replacing the module to make the existing screen work with AA. Just wondering what experiences people have with this setup? -...

Why am I required to manually connect my iPhone to my CX-30? Shouldn't the iPhone and car automatically do this?
