- Hack Android Auto onto your Mazda infotainment system! No hardware mods necessary!
WARNING: This is an unofficial third-party hack. It may damage your car or cause safety issues. You're taking on the risks yourself by doing this, and if you're not OK with that, get a car with manufacturer-provided Android Auto!
This only works if you have a recent Mazda that has the touchscreen infotainment system.

Keep doing videos. This was miles better than most on there. Thank you for not blasting background music and shaking the camera!
Thanks for your encouragement! Amazing what a tripod can do, right??
Hi, I have a 2016 mazda CX 3, firmware 56XX, can I install android?
Thanks
I was SO scared to try this, but so far it's working. I like my speedometer :D
Thank you so much for an informative video, I was able to do this myself.
Thank you for the best instructions, I installed everything in less than 15 mins.
Works like a charm on Mazda 3 2015 - Firmware EU v56.00.512A :) Thanks for the comprehensive guide!
It worked so well!
I have a 2016 Mazda 3. And I did this in 2019. :)
Still working fine? Can you use android auto via bluetooth or do you have to connect it with the usb cable and phone?
@@redwhite_040 there is a way to use AA wirelessly - mazdatweaks.com/androidauto/
I trust that you will read the whole page
Worked only immediately after installation, can't connect after that. Did you face similar issue? Connecting via USB
@@glagarwal Hello, yes, it only works back up again after you turn the car on and off again. Sometimes it ill work for like 10 mins then freeze. Other times itll work perfectly. It is very glitchy! But most of the time works. I found closing ALL your apps prior to connecting helps and not messing with the phone while you are connected. Hope this helps
@@marinafocused I'll try to do that. Thanks :)
Nicely done video. Though one question, how long should it take to compile? Seems like it's taking forever. Says "Compiling...Please Wait....Files for ssh_bringback copied successfully!" Is it done with compiling all files or not?
Update: had a bunch of options selected, then reduced it to the basics you had chosen in the video and it finished in seconds.
It works pretty well. Though the usb port doesn't quite provide enough power if doing anything other than simply trying to recharge your phone (at least for Android).
Thx.
If by some chance it doesn't end up working will it interfere with my actual car from functioning?
Works great! The past versions weren't that great but the newest one works like it was born there
Are there any alternatives or work-arounds for those with iPhones?
is the issue with Bluetooth fixed? When someone calls me it goes straight to Voice mail.
Could you the backup of the original android auto that came with the car before doing this? and if something error occurs, how to do reverse the system?
This worked like a charm! I have a 2016 Mazda CX-9. And it’s so nice!
I have a navigator in my Mazda but I don't have the SD card
Does this hack add google maps or I need my android phone connected to the USB to make the navi works ?
Anyone knows if this retrofit installation can be used also for converting the JDM FM band to EU FM band for 2017-2018 mazda demio(mazda 2)?
I have a m6 2016 but as far as i know you need to have a usb unit that is compatible in your car and not all Mazda have it otherwise it wont work or am i wrong?
I bought a CX-5 2017 unfortunately I have a 502 number...Canada. will it still work because it's not higher? Sucks because I traded my old Mazda 3 that most likely would have worked :(
Worked perfectly on my 2018 Yaris IA, installed: no more disclaimer, touchscreen while driving and android auto. Over a week using it and so far everything works!
Nice!! How's it holding up now? I just bought a Yaris ia about a week ago so I still have to check my version, but I was just about to comment the question about whether it works on a 2018 Yaris ia until I came across this.
@@syundown6005 It should. If anything email the email that the website provided. I did and they said it would work so I'm going to give a shot
Is it still working fine? Can you connect the phone to android auto by bluetooth?
How is this holding up?
Will BlueTooth still work on the regular Mazda interface though?
it worked 100% on my mazda 3 2016 touring! thanks bro!
Can you talk on the phone when someone call's through the car?
How is it working for you after one year? Any issues?
brought a 2018 Mazda 3 grand touring. it keeps refreshing. so if I decide too remove the downloaded information, will I be able to uninstall it?
Is there any hack available for a 2015 CX-5 GT that has the Tom-Tom type head unit? Thanks!
Can you answer phone calls with Android auto? I remember that other users are say they can't talk on the phone via the car.
Will this work on the 124 spider?
Wow that's pretty cool. Wish my Mazdaspeed came with Infotainment units. But I'm pretty happy with the Android HU options they got on Ali. Still, this is pretty sic
for some reason my AA doesnt launch after I go into reverse. Also the map direction glitches and reroutes all the time which is annoying. figured it works if I plug in my phone when Im driving which discards the glitch. has anyone got this problem?
Get to the usb in the car but my touching the screen will not allow me to hit the yes to start the download. the finger touch screen is not functioning. Can you help?
Does this work wirelessly or need to be connected to the phone by usb?
I successfully downloaded everything in this video but im not getting android auto to work.. i downloaded android auto to my phone and connected via usb to the cmu and android auto is not showing up!
If I do it and and dont like it, or I wanna sell it with an original software, will hitting factory reset bring it back to its original state? Thanks for help.
I have a 2020 mazda 6 that already has 70.00.335 NA. Do I need to upgrade anything, or can I get started with this version?
I did this on my Scion IA 2016 and it is so cool. It was easy and it works amazing.
I successfully installed the the soft, however cannot connect my phone to the car. Can you prompt how to do that?
Is it possible to undo the hack if it doesnt work?
Does anyone elses antivirus pop up when you install the MZD-AIO tweek?
works like a charm on my 2016 mazda 6...THANKS MATE!!
Is there anyway to install this if your touchscreen does not work? Can it be done with the knob control?
Is there a way to go back to the stock software? In the event it fails or has bugs?
if i install android auto like that will the touchscreen work? cause i know that if i get the official update kit from mazda, aa doesn't support touchscreen
Will it work on Mazda Axela 3 Version of my car head unit is 59.00.445 ?
Do you have trouble running google maps and spotify in the background?
Mine works but the audio is stuttering very badly, but once I switch the screen to spotify the music is fine.
Would you recommend doing this to install android on mazda that had 5 years of extended warranty left ( thereby voiding it ) OR just pay genuine mazda dealership 500 bucks to install android auto and keep warranty
What did you end up doing?
I have a Yaris 2019 Toyota with 59.00.573 could this tweaks works? It has the same screen.
I have a Mazda 3 2014, but my infotainment firmware/OS is 27.00.000. How can I get Android Auto to work?
For some reason I don't have a USB slot above however I have one under my arm-rest. I have followed each step in this video for my 2018 CX-5 however don't get that popup even after waiting for 20 mins. Please help!!!!
Thank you! This worked like a charm on my 2014 Mazda 3 GT
Are you in North America? and Did you use maps with it?
Is the Android Auto app on the car automatically connected to you phone?
How about with 2016 Mazda CX3? Will it work?
music cuts in and out alot more than bluetooth and one time my screen went black and i restarted my car and unplugged my phone but the andorid auto was stuck black so i didnt use it rest of the day, day after it worked again.. any way for me to fix these bugs?
What's your current fw, Android version and Aio AA version? th-cam.com/video/DsJMiQgpt0I/w-d-xo.html
Wow so great. I have a new 2021 CX-3 and live in Thailand. We don't have Android Auto in our car. Would that work in mine as well ? Thank U
Dumb question.. Mine is 59.00.502. Will this work or is the cut off at .501. Thanks
What car is it? My Mazda 3 .2015 look different
It doesn't work with mazda cx5 2019
Hi, thank you for the video. What about language? Can I still use my language after this unofficial hack?
is there a reason why it wont work on a 2019 CX-3? I downloaded the v 2.8.6 version
Buddy it worked 💪 you have to restart the mazda infotainment system every now & then as it sometimes doesn't connect to anroid Auto.
But it works 100% after that. I'm impressed
Thanks for sharing. How do you restart the Mazda Infotainment? TIA! 👍🏼🙂
will this work on mazda cx9 2018 models? My build is 59
Can Android Auto be hacked to prevent forced updates? I am not talking about turning off updates in the Google Play. Android Auto has their own forced updates. I want to run
an earlier working version of Android Auto compatible with my phone and the WAZE navigational program.
I have mazda cx 5 2018. Is this going to work for my car?
Im about to install this on my Mazda, but the only question I have, can I still use the controls on the steering and the control knobs?
Indeed
Os version shows 70.00.351 JP M that means it can't work on mine. Right?
Do i need to get some product for this? (Like the USB hub thing from AliExpress)
does it work with wifi? or need to use a cable?
Hi, I have a 2016 mazda CX 3, firmware 56XX, can I install android?
Thanks
I have mazda 3 2017 version: 59.00.441 is that compatible?
I am having a promblem when i plug in the usb drive to car i turn it on to accessory mode. But nothing pops up saying this aio tweaks installer. Please help. My usb is formatted to fat32 and my mazda system version is 59.000.540 Jp m
My software version starts with 33. Will this still work on that version?
Thanks for the video.I tried many times but the usb didn't automatically loaded. I tried three different usb sticks but the tweaks didn't loaded.any suggestions? Version of my the firmware 59.000.524 Mazda cx-3 2018.
Hi man, sorry for the noob question, but, in august will be released the official update, do you think that can be installed the official instead of the hack?Maybe a sort of "dump" of the official display can be flashed like Android phones with a recovery?Thanks a lot :)
PS: My version is 59.00.502 :(
1) we don’t know for sure the details of Mazda’s Android Auto release. Could be August for Europe, could be next year. 2) it could require a paid dealer upgrade or be limited to certain models or years. 3) rumor is that Mazda’s AA doesn’t support touchscreen.
Try looking on mazda3revolution.com for firmware files when it comes out.
What can i do my ver.. is 59.00.544 ??
Hey buddy, any updates on the updates? I’m on V70.00.351 JP M. I’m sure this would have been patched for my version, no?
This is for android only does it work with iPhones also
Would this work with a Toyota Yaris ia?
How do you delete it?
Does this work on 2019 cx3? Can this hack be removed at a later time
look at your infotainment version like he says in the video. probably not though
How easy would it be to brick the system? I want to try it but I'm hesitant.
I installed way more tweaks onto my Mazda like a custom theme, custom background, and stuff like no reverse disclaimer, menu layout change, and the screen cast mod, and have had no problem. If you follow the steps accordingly and do your research on different Mazda forums on Reddit or mazda3revolution then you should encounter no problems
Has anyone done the serial connection I have a newer version of the software?
So what/how to do when having a OS version that is 59.00.540 ?
This actually worked! I'm loving the AA! I did every step by step instructions you did in the video. At first I thought I bricked it after using AA for the first time. I turned everything off while AA was running. I double tapped the Start button, and I could not go pass the default menu and everything froze. Keep in mind I have yet to turn the engine on the whole time since I installed AA. Then waited about 20 mins because I was doing research to how to uninstall and go back to factory settings. Came back to my car and turned the engine on and everything was back to normal! AA worked perfectly with the knob, Google assistant works with car voice promt button, and the back button worked in the menu for Google maps, Waze, Pandora, Google Music and I'm sure on Spotify as well. Keep in mind you have to keep your phone plugged in to the car the whole time while using AA via USB port. I did not know about that part.
So AA doesn't work wireless by bluetooth connection? That's a big drawback compared to other manufacturers.
@@redwhite_040 Bro its a hack so chill
@@redwhite_040 as far as I know, I don't think we have that technology yet, not for projecting maps into the car device via Bluetooth
Will this work on mazda cx3 2018?
thanks,works great on 2016 miata .Could not get castscreen to work
Thanks, it's working 😀. Just installed, I was following the steps. CX-5, 08.2017.
How does the display look like does it look like icons or is it the old version of Android Auto can you send a picture or something to show what it looks like
So this works with the existing USB connection and you don't have to replace it in your arm console? This is awesome. I used to be an android guy, but now we have iphones. I definitely miss being able to customize things so much with android. Wish their was a carplay option. I really dont want to go through the trouble of doing the new wiring for car play support on my 2016 CX-9 Sport.
Hi, if i have version 59.00.532 EU N this AA be work?
Also, after install is it required to connect the phone via USB or will it work via bluetooth?
USB or set up a wifi hot spot
What's the difference between this and new official retrofit? They say they install a new hub, anyone know why?
Yes, only one USB can run Android Auto.
The new plastic peace has a smartphone symbol with an arrow… And you get a one hour long update.
bro, i need eu rom, it would be good if it is between 55 and 59 but otherwise it may be in other versions, all the links on the internet give a file error and I downloaded the mexico rom to my car but the radio is causing trouble in the country I live in, I would appreciate it if you could help me
My didn't work as it updated to version 70 EU N
What is the link to download android auto app in mazda?
I was wondering if I had to enable Wifi
So I had a weird thing happen. The dialog box popped up but I couldn't press anything. It just did not recognize my touch. So I pulled out the USB drive hoping to be able to start over. Probably should have turned off the car first, but I didn't. Now the yes or no popup is stuck on my screen and I can't get rid of it. Help?
For anyone experiencing this problem, you just need to turn off the car for about an hour and it will go away on its own.
Hi, my Mazda 2 has version 42.00.400 What should I do?
You have to update your software first, there's another procedure for that, just look for "update software for the mazda infotainment", and then come back to this procedure.
For me not working . I tried 3 times , The instal dosen't start :(
Does this not work with version 7?! 😩😩
Is this stil works on 2022?
What if I bought a car and I notice someone added this to my car how can I reset my car system back to normal.
Chris Richter same problem 😅😅
Sure works. Did it in 2020. Thanks man 👍 great job
is it mazda 3 2016? and how is it so far? thanks!
@@ianpats130 Mazda 6 and it still works well
Glad it helped! Enjoy the Android Auto!
I have a general question (to avoid misunderstandings and complications). According to the Warnings, the AIO is not compatible with v55.0.502+. Does this mean that the v55.00.502 is not compatible OR from v55.00.502 (and up) you can't tweak without extra actions? I have v59.00.545 on my Mazda 2. So my specific question is: can I tweak my infotaiment with the current version, without extra actions (serial connection)?
Any version starting with v55 should be good to go using the method in this video without opening up your dash. Double-check with the official site: mazdatweaks.com/
Hi, u try on v59.00.545 without extra actions?
i dont understand, how can i get in the tool area
Hey i have a 2016 scion ia this steps will work for me ????HELPPP
it should i checked the version and will do it to my toyota ia as well
Do we need to modify the cables for this? Or this is just software hack.
do we need to do that ?
Thank you so much for doing this excellent step by step. I did have one question...Is this correct? {3:06} "..if it (version) starts with 59. it needs to be OLDER than the 502 point {something unintelligible...sounds like "threece"}". From the picture it seems like you meant to say YOUNGER or LOWER than the 55.00.502. This matches the info on the Mazda tweaks site. It appears versions after .502 and later take out the ability to install via USB.
