Has anyone gotten a quote from their dealership as to how much it costs to install/retrofit android auto/apple carplay for the 2017/2018 gen 3 Mazda 3 model? Any feedback from anyone using it with their iPhone or Android phone?
I'm aware of the self-hack Mazda AIO tweaks however it seems that the current firmware that my unit has which is above v59.00.502 that requires a serial connection mod that will likely void my warranty.
Being so, the only feasible option i am left is is to get a quote from the dealership.
Ya, started some research and will continue to do more. Dare not mess with it yet, not until I am very sure of what I am doing. Haven't check my FW yet. Will do it later but should be V55 (haven't done any upgrade to it) My car is Mazda 3 (2016 ckd model) Is there any shops out there that are good enough to do it with some fees?

No dealership will do aftermarket installation that is not officially provided. They will only do updates on the software and firmware for you.
You'll need to seek external help or if you're familiar with any of the technicians within the dealers, you can seek their help but definitely at your own risk.

Asked before, they only support retrofit for apple carplay at the moment, no luck for Android auto.
What's your current Mazda Infotainment Firmware version?
Hi, san_098 I am running on OS 51.000.350 Not sure if the MZD-AIO-TI v2.8.4 version supports FW51? It say version FW55 onwards. May i know what FW was you on when you did it?
Just wondering if we can ask mazda sc to upgrade our cmu to v70.00.21
The point still stands though, even if it's available overseas, it's not officially supported by Mazda MY atm.
Like wkc5647 mentioned, dealerships typically won't support for aftermarket parts, they might help to update it if you have connections, but it will be on your own risk to do so.
Here's hoping they announce an official retrofit for Android auto soon.

I think you can go back to Mazda SC and ask for a downgrade to the previous firmware.

no FW 51 will not work. you can definitely ask for the update. Just don't go above v59.00.502

Hi guys, just trying my luck here. If anyone of you are looking to sell your Mazda 3. Prefer the CKD version full spec. I rather get from a direct owner instead of the used car dealers.
If you're looking to sell please let me know. Or if anyone that you know is looking to sell theirs.
