Latest new for AA and CarPlay...

Mazda today detailed long-awaited availability of its first vehicle with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the United States.

Starting in September, existing owners of the 2018 Mazda6, excluding the Sport base model, will be able to book an appointment with a Mazda dealership to have CarPlay and Android Auto installed at no extra cost. Mazda says the hardware and software updates take approximately two hours to be completed.

The upgraded Mazda6 models will also receive a faster-charging 2.1-amp USB port, and the latest software version of MAZDA CONNECT.

Then, starting in November, CarPlay and Android Auto will be preinstalled as original equipment in brand new 2018 Mazda6 vehicles, excluding the Sport model, at Mazda dealerships across the United States.

CarPlay will enable iPhone users to access a range of apps from the MAZDA CONNECT infotainment system, such as Messages, Apple Maps, Apple Music, Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, SiriusXM Radio, Pandora, WhatsApp, Downcast, Slacker Radio, Stitcher, and, starting with iOS 12, Google Maps and Waze.

Back in March, on its Canadian website, Mazda said CarPlay and Android Auto will first be offered in the 2019 CX-9, and then rolled out across the entire model lineup thereafter. Mazda also said the platforms will be available as a genuine retrofit for MAZDA CONNECT systems starting this fall.

Mazda also announced the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support to its vehicle line-up. In Canada, these mobile device connectivity technologies will first be offered in the 2019 CX-9 launching this summer, and then rolled out across the entire model line-up thereafter. In addition, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be available as a Genuine Mazda Accessory retrofit for MAZDA CONNECT systems starting this fall.
The press release suggests that Mazda vehicles released as early as 2014 could eventually support CarPlay and Android Auto, but it's unclear if the backwards compatibility will extend to the United States.

Mazda is one of the last major automakers in the United States to offer CarPlay, around six months after Toyota and Lexus announced support.

Sigh, when will be our turn?

you slowly wait.....

i watched a youtube vids that CX5 has 27 censors, but they didnt list all of them down. do our cx5 equipped with that number of sensors? it is adjusted to drive on all road surface.

I am waiting now..

We are equipped with empty 15+ ports. waiting for us to plug-n-play.

No extra cost? Biar betul...

Haha..not going to happen in Malaysia.

I'm very interested in the above statement and hope other countries (looking at you Malaysia) follows suit.

Kek..

Sssshhhh.. Given their profit margins and all equipment stripped from our models Giving AA & Carplay free is a good gesture and damn well more worth than shittint as optional standard accessories.

Given how they stripped off the features and how they made the optional stuff becomes "not optional"...I believe courtesy and customer satisfaction is not their strong point. I am very skeptical about this AA and Apple Car play gonna be free. Maybe in US different regulation...but Malaysia...let's hope it goes well

Btw, somebody in Mazda 3 forum says that they have received an email from Mazda. In the email it's stated that customer can upgrade their MZD infotainment system to add AA and Car Play on August 6th for 250 euro. That's like 1k MYR

It's free for 2018 Mazda 6 models for now Other models and years of manufacturing unsure yet.

Hey, you know what they say about comparing Apples to Oranges where fx is concerned.. Maybe ours be RM250.. Just saying, same distance grab ride in Singapore can be SGD20, but here it's around RM20 and not X3.

I believe if we all make enough noise about this. They'll have to comply. A man can dream.

Hopefully it'll come soon and free. I need AA the most especially Waze.

you need to fork out 400Euro for the upgrade. if i remember correctly

The New USB port available in Taobao already

let's bulk purchase?

Yeah, but then have to find good installer. Plus I doubt replacing the USB console thingy won't void warranty. Best wait for official first.

Got my car yesterday.....SS 2.0 GLS.

Wait slow slow?

Hahaha.

Congrats! when you booked your car?
