infotainment

Has anyone bothered swapping the Radio out in the current gen CX-5? The booting up from a cold start, the time it takes to connect to bluetooth, and the FM Radio being defaulted when switching to Android Auto is so bad. I'm thinking about getting the following radio since it can't be worse than...

Hi all! I came across this forum trying to research solutions for my Japanese 2007 MPV (also called Mazda 8.) After countless hours of trying to find a solution by myself, I thought Id try to crowdsource an answer. My MPV came with a factory BOSE amp and an 8 speaker system. For its time it was...

When I take a road trip, the music is on. After what seems like an hour of driving, the music stops, regardless of the source. The infotainment screen displays the Mazda logo. After it is done rebooting, back to normal. This was on interstate, so no jarring that I can remember. It is with the...

My 2012 CX-9 GT headunit (with Bose without Nav) has started freezing at the Mazda logo. I am not able to use the backup camera or see anything on the screen. Except for the backup camera, the headunit itself is functional. Although I can't see what is going on, I am able to cycle through Radio...

Aiming to replace my NB1 unit with an aftermarket one, I believe that the white multiplug connector is for the Bose amp system, can somebody confirm, or tell me what it is? Thanks!

Hello, I'm new to this forum and to Mazda. I just purchased a CX-5 GT Reserve and I'm having issues with Android Auto (AA). I've searched the forum (and the web) quite a bit but most treads have been about adapting older vehicles to the AA technology. My situation SHOULD be more...

Hey folks. I know on the home screen there are wispy clouds in the background. I recently started noticing "similar" clouds on the screen displaying the radio station during the day. I don't recall this before. Looks like a smudge but clearly isn't as it doesn't show on navigation screen or at...

Has anybody tried this dongle to enable wireless CarPlay on our stock wired implementation? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33046274480.html Seems like this is a Bluetooth and WiFi dongle that tricks the iPhone to connect wirelessly to the dongle, and tricks the car USB port that an iPhone is...

I recently blew my driver side front door speaker so I need to replace it. I have the 10 speaker Bose system. Does anyone have any references as to replacing the speaker? What is the minimum power I need for speaker? Any information is helpful. I have done a little bit of research so far and it...

Hi everyone, I am looking to install an aftermarket amplifier + subwoofer in my 2019 CX-5 Touring, does anyone know where I can get documentation on how to tap into the infotainment system... (wiring diagram / pinout)? Cheers!

Car: 2016 CX-5 Touring, 6-speaker, non-Bose, w/o NAV. Who doesn't like a good dash speaker installation story... Here is my experience in swapping out the factory dash speaker (a tweeter) for some 3.5" 2-way speakers. Let's hope my choice of speaker was a good one, even if it wasn't in line...

Hi Guys, My 2016 CX5 Bose amplifier got bust due to flooding (I was out of town when flash flood hit the car couple of months ago). Now i need to replace the amplifier, can anyone suggest a good after market amplifier. Please consider the cost factor as well..not the very expensive ones. I...

Hi, I have a 2014 2.2D Sport Nav, which came with the NB1 Mazda Tom Tom/Touch Screen System. I have replaced with a Sony Android Auto unit, which is great. I have got the rear park camera connected fine (UK wiring seems different to some guides I've seen - only 2 wires for the camera, VID+ and...

Hey everyone, So I finally put money down on a pioneer aftermarket radio and replacements speakers. I've never done this kind of project before and I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to wiring... (nervous) I purchased the Mazda Protege5 wiring harness and used crimp butt connectors...

All I purchased a after market head unit for my 2007 Mazda CX-9 installed myself, however no sound... I had a couple of audio shops look at it however theyre unable to figure it out... wiring is correct, however I believe I need to tap into the amp to get sound... does anyone have a wiring...

The Mazda site says that map updates are free for 3 years after the car hits ~100km. Past that how much do updates cost? I can't find the information anywhere. I'm picking up my new (to me) 2016 cx-9 signature on Tuesday and don't know if it is still in the free update period.

When you are using navigation via CarPlay or Android Auto does navigation info show up on the HUD (active driving display)? I wasn't able to find an answer to this anywhere. I guess I also don't know if it shows any navigation info when using built in nav... I just purchased a '16 signature...

Hi All Any suggestions on a head unit that would have Carplay, steering wheel controlls and car autolock without remote control use like my stock setup. The head unit in the 2015 sucks. I know there are old posts about this but hopefully there are new units that fit and provice these 3...

Hi all, I just got a new CX-9 GT with Mazdas rear-seat Entertainment System. Biggest problem I have with the system is an audio delay while playing DVDs. Its more than a second which is more annoying than one would think when you watch a movie. Heres how the system works: DVD plays on monitor...

Hey everyone! So I have the 2014 sport (automatic) and I am trying to figure out if there is any sort of hack/mod that will get the gps working. I have the touchscreen without the nav button. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
