- Detailed how to guide on updating the Mazda Connect Firmware for the CMU in a 2014+ Mazda. It's the same process for almost all Mazda Connect models. Shows how to do a hash check on the files and then the update itself.
NOTE: Some newer versions don't include a fail-safe file so you can just skip that part in the video for those versions.
*Be sure to check the Mazda forums such as mazda3revolution.com for new information: www.mazda3revolution.com/thre...

*Be sure to check the **my.hidrive.com** share for the latest readme files and to download the latest versions.* This will have the latest information on what order you can update in for the different versions. You can also check the Mazda forums such as mazda3revolution.com for new information. The latest working link will be in the video description.
I'm about to do the upgrade on my '17 Mazda3. I see on my.hidrive.com that the latest firmware is 70.00.367A. I'm assuming that's the one that doesn't require the fail-safe file and I can just install the update file? I'm also reading that I should upgrade instead to 70.00.100A first before doing any firmware more recent than that. I might just play it safe and download the same exact files you did with the fail-safe.
@@pike_merez You will need to upgrade to 70.00.100A first and it does use a failsafe. Once you are at 70.00100A, you can then upgrade to the latest if you wish, which does not have/use a failsafe.
@@Killobyte thank you!
Do you have the eu version
Hey, I need to upgrade 70.00.100 NA N, do u have those files?
Thank you very much for the help. Thanks to this video and the link for the files I successfully updated my firmware and saved hundreds of dollars. Also, for the record, my 2017 CX-5 also took roughly 23 minutes. And a note for anyone about to attempt the update- the "percent ready" bar is not linear, so don't freak out when it gets stuck at a certain percentage for a few minutes.
Excellent tutorial! My install went over smoothly because of this video. Thank you.
I just did this today.... glad I didn't take it to the dealer. I followed the video and read the files first. If you take your time, it is very simple. Thanks for posting this up and saving me $$$!
I can’t thank you enough, I honestly was super lost with everything I was reading on different forums, and the oficial instructions but this video helped me understand the whole process, plus it gave me confidence to do it myself saving a couple of hundreds of dollars. Plus the links are still working after being uploaded for a couple of years. You gained yourself a new subscriber!! Thank you once again.
Edit: I tried this on my 2017 Mazda 3
Thank you so much. All the links work very well. I updated my infotainment system yesterday on my Mazda CX3 2015. Again, thank you 🙏🏿
Thanks so much for this video. It really came in handy when updating the firmware in my Mazda CX5. Patience is key!
Thanks for this! Followed this instead of the written guide and everything was smooth! Owe you one!
Thanks for the straightforward directions, followed the install for a 2018 CX-5, worked just as described in the video. Used a 32 gb sandisk thumb drive on a windows 7 machine formatted to fat32. Downloaded the firmware from the link provided on my.hidrive.
Hi I am also having same car, what version you upgraded from?
It worked just like the video. was very careful to watch first and then do it. Took 23 exactly on my CX9 2017. the only thing is that I didnt have the txt file with hash values but compared using the tool and watching values on the video! Thanks a lot for taking the time to post this!!!
Thanks to you, I finally upgraded my miata from Initial Japanese version to recent firmware in English.
How did change your cmu to English? Did you use an English firmware?
Worked perfectly for my 2017 CX-9. From v59 to v70. Thanks heaps mate!
Thanks for posting. I followed your video and successfully updated our 2018 CX-5 last night.
Do u have android auto running?
Have u change the usb and aux hardware or not?!
@@beelorashed No, just the firmware update. I'm still on the fence about buying and installing the ACP & AA hardware. From what I've been reading, it's not really that much better than connecting my phone via bluetooth. I've never experienced android auto though, so I don't know what I'm missing.
@Luca Rossi No, no GPS card in the car either.
You are a superstar. Just updated my Mazda 2, here in South Africa. 59.00.xx to 70.00.100A. Thanks👍👍👍
Thanks a lot for the help. Was successfully able to update my CX3 2018.
Did this on my 15 mazda 3 sport and it worked the only thing I couldn’t do was clear the 3 or 5 because my touchscreen started to peel and it doesn’t receive any input now I can upgrade to CarPlay THANK YOU!!!
Followed this on a 2017 Mazda6 and successfully updated to ver 70, thanks!
Thanks for this. Especially the links to the firmware files!
Worked like a charm on my mazda 3 2014 system. Thanks very much for the excellent video. I followed your instructions to the letter and used your link for updates. Just like you said.; use north america files. My firmware was version 25 so this is a significant upgrade. Update to version 30 before the apple car play update.
Hey Jeff! I have a Mazda 3 2014, does updating the system did any improvement? you got Apple CarPlay?
@@manucast94 did you ever find an answer to this? i also have a 2014 and dont really feel like messing around with third party solutions lol
@@ethanlewis1512 Hi, updating to the latest FW will NOT give you Apple carplay or AA, unless you also have the updated USB HUB and two accompanying cables. For more info Mazda 3 Revolution has an amazing post about updating your FW from and to any version.
For anybody wondering, I did this on my Toyota Yaris ia 19' model year and this worked perfectly for me. Thanks a bunch!
did the update add/change the Infotainment to Mazda branding?
Great information I got my 2018 cx-5 updated thank you.
Hi, i saw you did it for a 2018 CX5. How is the outcome all these months later?
Thank you! Update went smooth for my 2016 Mazda CX5
Thank you for such a detailed instructions.
Mine took about 41 minutes but not a problem. Improved stability and connectivity via Bluetooth.
Had version EU N 56 and AA kept on crashing and freezing.
When i disconnected the phone, it would not let me launch it again. Now i can do it as many times as i want. Live it. Hopefully it will stay like that 😁
Top man
Thanks ❤
I appreciate your video. I managed to update my firmnware , hassle free. you are awesome. Thanks
Thanks, my MY17 3 went perfectly, in Australia we don’t have the same legislation about manufactures releasing service manuals, so it was very helpful to have you quoting it. Now I have to wait for the hardware to come from china
Your video was super useful, I used it together with the PDF guide and was able to upgrade from 59.00.502 EU N to 74.00.324A EU N.
Where did you find v74. I'm looking for nz version for it bur unable to find it anywhere 😢
I just updated the Software following this instructions and it worked perfectly.
Thanks.
Mazda cx-5 2016.
May the Lord bless you and your heirs, good sir! Saved me a $150 trip to the dealership
Thank you very much. My process went smoothly 😊
I just updated my firmware following this guide for my 2019 Toyota Yaris and it worked perfect. I can now have apple car play in my yaris. Thank you so much. I appreciate you giving everyone the correct firmware and the excellent step by step instructions. You're the best!
did the update add/change the Infotainment to Mazda branding?
Thank you for posting, successful on first try!
Very helpful thanks for posting
Thank you Kill-O-bite ......from South Africa
Great video! I installed on my wifes CX-5 as well. I used the cmu150_NA_70.00.335C_update.up file from the hidrive link. Thank you! Used a 8gb lexar usb.
Where did you get the file please? mazda is saying (online) it can only be done at dealership and not providing a link.
trekhardfilms my.hidrive.com/share/hsodpqja.l#$/Mazda_Firmware/NA%20N/70.00.335C%20NA%20N%20all%20MAZDAs
Just need the one file from there.
That is for the North American version
@@frostedfiresmods2059 Hello. It seems that the link is broken, could you please upload it again? Thanks in advance.
Worked fine on my new-to-me 2017 MX-5. I forgot to remove the map SD card, but it didn't seem to hurt anything, Mazda nav still works.
Thank you. Great video
Just finished installing this in my wife’s 2016 CX-9. Went super smooth. Almost installed the EU firmware by accident 😂. Thanks for the great video!
Do u remember what firmware version you did? Mine is supposed to be the latest because I just got a new screen from dealership but it's vs 58
thanks man i updated my mazda6 2017 from 59 till 70 easily
Congrats!
u r a legend mate~ 👍
Done deal! I had the 55. Now 70
Thanks for the link!
Great video
So with the .335 no longer need fail save?
and can I just updated so when I get the usb part just install it?
So it 1000% worked and I followed the steps. Make sure to use a Windows computer…. Also, once you do the update let your battery recharge…. I didn’t turn my car on and my battery was dead the next morning 😂
Thank you soooooo much!
you are brilliant my guy
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Did you have the Android/carplay option greyed out before installing the retrofit kit? In the list of application i just see nothing, didnt replace the aux and usb yet
For autos press the brake and manuals press the clutch down until you see the light on the start/stop button go green. That resets the timer.
i have a question i have 2016 mazda6 this firmware will work on it my actual version is 55.00.750 NAN HELP please
walther perez if it’s a mazdaconnect (should be) then yes. Mazda does have different versions for different regions so make sure you get the correct version for you region. I highly recommend checking a Mazda 6 forum for additional info.
Thanks mate for sharing this useful videos. Saving me a lot of time to search all over the internet. The only issue is the netdrive doesn't work anymore. Is there any chance you can fix the link? Thank you in advance.
Updated the firmware on an 2016 CX-9 today. Same process and took the same amount of time, about 23 minutes for the reinstall file.
i have the same model. where did you get the firmware file? could you share?
sorry nm got it from the awesome links above. master!
Hey dude. Thanks for your hardwork and explain how to do. I am confused. On the link you provided there is only firmware file is there failsafe is not there. But on video there is both files failsafe and firmware files. So my question is only installing firmware file will it work or i need both failsafe and firmware. Please let me know thanks man.
It appears that 70.00.335c doesn’t have a fail safe file. The note on the download sight says to just skip the failsafe file and install the update file. I’ve not updated to 70.00.335c yet but might try it later this week.
Excelent One :)
This is cool Do you have a hash checksum of the files for Asa Region?
Hi; are the firmware file in your folder still good to use for my 2015mazda?
Can i ask if i have a 2018 CX3 with version 56.x firmware, these file provided above will work?
Love the to the point style of your tutorials. thank you. Do you guys have a video for installing apple carplay?... replacing screen and module, etc..

@@Killobyte thank you!
I did the AIO tweaks on v59 with the serial method. Can I update straight to the latest firmware?
Hello, I began the process to update my software. However my Mazda won’t recognize the actual reinstallation file, only the failsafe. I even tried to put the file back into my usb just to be sure. It is for sure on the usb but won’t show up on Mazda. What should I do?
So to make sure I got this right, you need to do this update before buying and installing the carplay module?
Gret video thanks
Thanks so much for saving the day! Have look around my.hidrive and every link is dead, also a dumb question will the firmware work between different model? My car is CX-5 2016 KE, using 4A N version (New Zealalnd)， but I assume can also use 4A Aus from here? cuz other website indicates that AU/NZ are all with ADR region firmware.
Yes, I believe that is correct.
Thanks for the video. May I know what is the source of firmware? Is it genuine from Mazda ?
Hello - where do I find the latest firmware failsafe and reinstall for a 2016 CX5 North America?
Kill-O-Byte did you not see the Apple\Android option until you installed the new cables and new USB hub? I noticed after I installed the latest firmware under applications there is not a Apple\Android option.
Found my answer here
www.mazda6club.com/threads/genuine-mazda-carplay-androidauto-install-instructions-all-here.440990/
..NOTE:
After 70.00.335C Firmware is installed you can run it and can use it in car normally, BUT YOU WILL NOT SEE CP/AA availability on the Connect screen Settings, etc.
Only UNTIL and AFTER you Install the TWO NEW Genuine Mazda Parts LAST.
Can you dowload 70.00.335.c using a Mac, or do you have to do it using PC ONLY?
is version 70.00.100A still the most current version? This was posted just a few months ago so I assume much hasn't changed?
I’ve heard that .120 just came out, but I don’t think it’s available publicly yet. I believe it just has bug fixes.
Thanks a lot it worked perfectly fine for my Mazda axela 3 hybrid your files were really helpful.
Can you please provide me how I can update Maps in my car when I am
Inserting the Maps SD card in laptop and opening Mazda toolbox it’s not detecting the SD card.
Great video - even though I had the docs on how to do this, it was a piece of cake with my laptop in the car playing the way. Only thing I would note is that at 8:45 the Fail-Safe Package is no longer used starting with version 70.00.335C (maybe make a note on the video?). Thanks!
I would love to add some text saying that that you no longer need to do that step, but TH-cam doesn't allow it. :(
So I got firmware v58 which SHOULD BE the latest because dealership replaced my cracked console and told me they put latest firmware on it. Is this true?? Must I use v70 for my kit to work??
@@mckaysmith679 yes
Just successfully installed but if I want to , Can I go back to my default version?
Hi...my mazda 2 2016 have the version 42.00.500...wich file i need for the upgrade?....Thanks

Current os version is 59.00.504 NA N, am i able to jump to 70.00.335? For the apple play need 70.00.21 it says, pretty new to doing all of this am a heavy duty diesel mechanic and am not used to updating systems without the software like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

my car is mazda 6 2017 Grand Touring
how can i solve this problem plz
thanks
Thank you! can i do this update if my current version is 59.00.331?
Had to check in and give thanks.
I upgraded directly from 59.00.502 to 74.00.324.
In 1 folder, I have a 'failsafe' & 'reinstall', and in another folder I have an 'update'
Do I need to install all 3 files, or just the failsafe and reinstall?
Thanks for the video first of all! What could go wrong if I installed version different than my region? Any one tried?
I currently have the 70.00.100 firmware in my 2019 Mazda Cx-9. I am planning on doing the USB hub update to get Android Auto. My question is after I install the hub, will further firmware updates be possible?
Yes, you just have to be in the 70.xx.x series before the new hub.
Also, I have another question... I updated to 70.00.100 but i need to update to the .367A... do i not need to update the failsafe either?
Correct, Mazda got rid of the failsafe on the later versions.
Hi i have cx3 2017 with
59.00.443 EUN whats the process for installing the apple car please help!! Thanks in advance
It is my understanding the EU version should be used for those in Israel.
The hidrive link in the description still works.
The firmware on the hidrive share should work for all Mazda Connects with the rectangular screen.
No it does not work. Please provide Link for 70.00.352 EU N
Took my 2018 CX-5 to the dealer for an oil change this morning. I asked if they could update the firmware (Current version is 59). They said yes...cost $30. Drove home with version 70 in less than an hour.
I would recommend checking with your local dealer before trying this yourself.
My dealer in So California charges $50. Called and asked them today.
I don't know if this has been brought up but I thought I'd share. Windows, by default, will not allow you to format a flash drive larger than 32GB with FAT32. It only allows NTFS or exFAT. If that's all you have, then there are third party programs that will allow you to format larger flash drives to FAT32.
I tried using the exFAT format because I had a 64GB flash drive and the CMU would not recognize the drive. Hope this helps!
Now I get to start all over again with a smaller flash drive! Haha!
Thanks for the info!
Hi there, great video. I am on version 59 (Mazda 3). - I want to get android auto. Once I update using your video to version 70, if I connect my phone to the car using USB after I have done this, would I then have android play? I have an android phone. Or do I need to do something else after updating to version 70? Thank you
A newer USB hub is needed. Link for it should be in the description.
hello, I'm from Chile. I need to update from 30 to 31 and finally 3.6 for car play. I need in Spanish language. is in your link where it says NA?
I'm not sure which would be for Chile. Does it show one of the following on your touch-screen when you look at the current version?
North America, USA, Canada, Mexico, known as 'NA N' on your Touch-screen.
Europe and UK, France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Russia, etc, known as 'EU N' on your Touch-screen.
Australia/NZ, Southern Hemisphere, South Asia, Oceania, known as '4A N' on your Touch-screen.
JP M is Japan.
Hey there, can you help me update my Mazda 6 2019, the dealership here will install the new cable but they can't update the version, I live in the middle east and I don't care if the original map won't as long as Google maps will work. I'll pay you whatever hug ask if you can help me out because there are many versions and don't know which one is which
Can anyone confirm the firmware link is up to date? I wanted to try it and see
Can we install the hardware first then do the software update (mx-5 2016)?
Do NOT install the hardware first. The firmware/software can be installed without the hardware, but not the hardware without the firmware/software.
Can you go from 59.00.502 to 70.00.335C directly? Or should I go through .100 first? Btw thanks for sharing the firmware.
i have the same question
Great video, thanks for putting this together. I just bought a CPO 2017 CX-9 and noticed my firmware came with 70.00.335 NA N. Do I need to upgrade firmware before adding AA/Carplay or is my firmware compatible? Thank you.
Romeo H. As long as you are at 70.00 or higher you are good to go.
@@Killobyte shouldn't I be able to see Apple Carplay or Android Auto greyed out in applications list or does that show up once I upgrade the USB hub?
Romeo H. You have to have the hub that supports AA/CarPlay installed and the phone needs to have CarPlay enabled.
@@Killobyte thank you for the confirmation. Ordering the parts now

What and where is the "room fuse" (in video at 18:19)?
You can find it on the fuse panel after you release the hood but also you can disconnect the negative on the battery for 5 min, remove the Negative Lead(hold up so it does not touch any metal), stomp on Brake Pedal a few times, wait 5-10 mins), replace Negative lead back on post quickly and tighten, just make sure no unnecessary load is on, like doors open, lights on, you might see a small spark at post that will be ECU, it is OK just put back clamp firmly, fast and hold firm while you tighten the nut.

Hello I have tried but usb is not recognised by android auto. Any idea what is the reason?
So I have a Mazda 3 2014 with version 29, do I need to update it to 33 then to 56 or directly to 70 ?
I have the same version as you, did you find out what to do first?
Same. I have 33 and im wondering if I can go directly to 70+ or do i need to install something in betweeen first?
Will the firmware on this work or compatible on the cx5?
