I am used to flashing and rooting my android smartphones, but when comes to the car I wouldn't risk it. And it seems very complex. But if someone in KL is offering that service for a small fee then I would consider it.

Hi Everyone, So let's say I have my 2016 Mazda 3 with a 9-year loan but I would like to upgrade to a CX-5 2019, how would I go about doing this with Mazda?

Finally got Android Auto to work almost flawlessly on my Mazda 3 2016. Really happy with it.

All thanks to https://mazdatweaks.com/

You should, do as much research and homework, but all honestly it was easy. The difficult part was testing it to work reliably which now it is.

Wow, DIY?

Yup, did it all on my own.

This video really helped.

The model year and more importantly which firmware currently running would determine how to go about installing the tweaks. Fortunately for me I just had to stick a USB with the tweaks I wanted and I was good to go, no dismantling needed.

probably yours fw before 59.00.502, mine unfortunately 59.00.545

looks quite easy & simple, but not yet comfortable to do that

Yes, beyond .502+ things get complicated. Doable but complicated.

Say worst case scenario, got it "Brick" what can we do?
I saw some of the post was saying there is no roll back or backup that we can fall back to.
Was wondering can change the whole Mazda mzd to new android player?
Hands are like so itchy... already downloaded the file but still holding on to it cos' having doubts.

You better do some reading and research, don't simply do. MAZDA SC will charge you an arm and a leg to replace a bricked infotainment.

What's your current Mazda Infotainment Firmware version?

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.

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

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

I just recently swapped my stock Mazda 3's 18 inch Toyo Proxes F1 Sport tyres for Michelin Primacy 4 215/45/18 tyres and the difference in terms of road harshness and loudness has been toned down is quite apparent. The ride is much smoother and quieter now.

Sidenote, I'm selling my used set of Toyo Proxes F1 Sport tyres that have 13,000KM mileage/6 months old for sale if anybody is interested - drop me a PM. smile.gif

How much did you pay for the Michelin Primacy 4 215/45/18 tyres?

Mazda owners in Malaysia can get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay retrofitted for a Fee

Even though I have a hacked version of Android Auto, it is with minor flaws. I think RM1,055 is totally worth having the official support.

How was the whole process, did it take hours or days? How's your Android Auto, facing any issues?

I have a MAZDA 3 2016 model, recently one of the headlights went out. I replaced both headlights with an OEM but with exactly the same specs. The AFS warning would start blinking started when I take turns. It will go away when I start the car and start blinking again when driving and taking turns.

Headlight compatibly issue or something worse?

Did you need to clear the fault code after replacing the headlight because of AFS? I'm not sure, just guess because I'm haven't come into this stage. 4 years old still got warranty right? Send to SC to diagnose it.

The problem went away.

To the owners of Mazda 3 2016 High-Spec, how much are you paying for insurance this year?
