- Guys if you want Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on your 2014-2017 Mazdas go to the dealer and at least pay the $50 dealer fee to have them update your firmware to version 70.0. Doing it yourself is not worth the risk and can break your entire Mazda Connect System

Bud, your laughing at the name "fat32"? Its File Allocation Table (FAT) and its 32 bits. The fact that you don't even know what this is tells me you should not even been screwing around with your system. You can unbrick the system if you do some research and educate your self with low level Linux stuff!!!
I took your advice and got my 5 year old to upgrade mine. Went without a hitch.
Did this recently and mine needed two updates. Everything went smooth as long as you take your time and follow the most recently updated instructions word for word. (2 year update: still working perfectly 😂)
This!
hi where should i get the update and any tips ?
I've updated this on my 3 and my wife's with no issues. Mine needed three updates since I was significantly behind. Hers only needed the most recent firmware update. If you follow the instructions, you'll have no issues.
hi where should i get the update and any tips ? im on update 29.00.00
I followed the instructions in their entirety and had no issues. A year later and love having carplay. It needed two update packs, so be sure to check your version number and doc before just putting a flash drive in
Well, you might be able to save the 150 bucks if you just fess up and tell them what you did. Saves them time in troubleshooting.
"I know what im doing" apparently not lol. You can try serial connection behind the screen no soldering required into the unit just plugging in 4 pins and a ground
Hi Anthony, I had the same problem as you. I went full panic then finally realized that the problem was that I forgot to plug in the cable on the top right. It got pushed back after I put my infotainment screen back in place and I just forgot. I made a stupid mistake and I had the same stress as you. Fortunately, I figured out my problem. Since then, I have updated my firmware and installed Android Auto / Apple Car Play. For anyone reading this, just triple check that you have reconnected all of the cables.
100% skill issue, I have 0 experience with cars but just carefully followed the official printed instructions and video from that dude with the glasses who did this to his Miata and it went perfect. This is like not following a recipe and then calling the recipe crap just because you didn’t follow it correctly lmao
This guy works for Mazda for sure
Mazda has been aggressively taking down all the firmware files off the internet, so they clearly don't want people doing this
Yep Exactly lol
So point of the story is DON'T TURN OFF THE CAR!! before the upgrade is complete.
Did you fix it !?? I need a help
@@samazz9836 after watching this video I decided to pay $60 for the dealership to update it for me.
Dealership told me ill have to pay a bit over 1000 to fix it if i bricked it.
The update was so easy. Just followed the Instructions
The whole "you can't format a 64gig usb using fat32". "I know what I'm doing guy" had me dying! 🤣 I'm sorry for your misfortune but you do not have any idea what your doing. Hence why your unit was bricked.
Yeah, he probably needlessly created multiple partitions for this flash drive and that could confuse the retarded CMUs they put in these cars. That could've been the actual cause of the bricking
well, you do need a few grey cells between the ears to read the instructions and then follow them.. :-)
It's completely safe... Follow the instructions exactly (like you should follow any instructions). Also check the hash values of the file before using it to insure it's not corrupt. Just did mine yesterday and it works great! How he explained it he didn't follow the instructions at all? Of course it won't work!
Hey I'll like to update mine but too afraid... doing some research any help
I did my 2015 Mazda3 this week and it worked perfectly. Followed the manufacturer instructions to the dealer.
Heyy where did u find the instructions and the right version for you car
Please share i go
Messing with firmware when you dont know what you're doing is a recipe for that sinking feeling.
Lol
You must follow the OFFICIAL instructions EXACTLY and it works. This includes steps like opening and closing the driver's door, pressing the brake pedal etc.
Yep, mine went smooth as butter, probably because I followed the instructions to the letter. Wasn't exactly complicated, TBH.
Where do I find these instructions?
@@infinitepossibilities861 It should be, but they have no incentive to do so. Programming those kinds of safeties would cost Mazda money in development time, and they don't want normal users servicing their own electronics to begin with. From their perspective, 1) owner pays dealership for update or 2) owner fucks it up and pays dealership even more money. Either way, manufacturer and dealership win. Right-to-repair laws could help with things like this, as we have more and more electronics in cars.
@@CaffeinePanda agreed.
@@CaffeinePanda and then there are countries like mine, where if you import the car from the US our local Mazda dealership (it's only one company) does nothing for you and they refuse to even upgrade your firmware. So if I brick mine I won't even have the option to pay a lot of money to get it unbricked. I'll be genuinely and thoroughly SOL. Good thing TH-cam recommended this to me lol. Yes I'm scared now but I never thought you could literally brick your car, I thought that if you screwed up you just stated back from the beginning. Like, I can risk bricking my phone but my car? Not sure that's a risk I want to take especially when I wouldn't even have an expensive remedy available to me :(
I just did this today and it worked perfectly. I had to actually do 3 different installs because I was on an older version. Everything worked fine, but I followed everything to the T. Probably should have told them what happened. They most likely would have just rolled it back to a previous install or factory reset it.
Was yours version 55 or 59
@@rudheerreddy8611 31
So moral of the story is that you should set the radio to your favorite channel before you start the process, just in case ?
"I know what im doing" 🤣 🤣Thats gold mate 👍 Why is it bricked then 🤪
Stuff happens and small screw ups can have fatal consequences.
Try doing this “Press and hold the Back button, the Nav button, and the Mute button for at least 10 seconds.” It might help
Its not do anything..i need a help
sam Azz did you try it holding for 10 seconds if not. Try this
1. Tun on your engine, press “home”
2. Rotate knob 2 clicks to the right that will take you to “settings” blindly then press select.
3. Shift knob to the right (every shift with atleast 2 seconds intervals) 6 times “this will take you to system blindly again” then press select
4. Rotate knob 6 times to the right that will take you to “restore all factory settings” then press select
5. Rotate knob 1 to the right then press select
Hope it will help you best of lock
Worked for me when I did that a while back
A word to the wise, young man: If you become discombobulated, try looking in your owners manual, because there, it would have guided you to a solution, one mentioned by others here already: restoration to original factory settings! Easy as pie, when you know where to look!
How do you do it?
I'm not an expert but off the top of my head a factory reset won't reflash the original firmware on this system. It resets all user settings and will delete all data. But a firmware update is done at the actual root of these systems I think.
@@matthewcooksey5411He can just reflash the original file.
Ok.. I'm just gonna thank you now. Was planning on maybe tackling this... but fek it. $200 at the dealer.. hardly worth the risk.
Thanks man I feel the same way!!!!
Nope. Did both firmware updates on my 2016 Mazda 6 today and it went smooth as butter. No unexpected issues, no system hangs. I took my time and followed the instructions to the T. After about an hour, my car is fully updated and working perfectly fine.
IF you do the install correctly it works perfect!
That worked on mine. It's not break, screen is just turned off. Go find out how to do a factory reset and it will come back on. I felt the same way to. It's on TH-cam for the fix. Good luck!
Yeah, sometimes firmware updates can go wrong and cause a mess of problems. Don’t call it bricked, there is always a pretty complicated process to do a “flashback” and reset with the original firmware.
How can i do that? I updated to 70.0 but i want the V58 now :/
@@user-or1lc4ph6w Why do you want to downgrade?
I'm so sorry, I hope you have already fix that. Have you already reset the headunit? Try to shut down the car battery for 5 minutes.
i did few time with no issue..only thing you need to set in car and keep presing the badel to keep it on, and this take about 1 houre.
Where can i get it done for $60 at a dealership? The going price for Apple car play update is over $300 in Miami, Fl.
Last Resort: If you have a non responsive Mazda/MZD..
RESTORE ALL FACTORY SETTINGS - BLACK TOUCH-SCREEN :
Use this option if something goes wrong during Firmware Updating
and or you have an unresponsive black or blank touch-screen,
this will NOT work if you already had any Hacks or non OEM Tweaks previously installed.
Put car into Amber 'ACC' Light ON (Accessory Mode)Do Not Start Engine.
Wait 30 seconds for Connect to settle as you can not see the touch-screen
as it is blank or black.
Perform these setting inputs *below precisely as you are flying blind..
IF you make an input error you must turn off ACC system and power
down car See 5.4 below and do #1 to #3, and then repeat setting input process * again.
*PRESS "Home Button" above Commander Knob ONCE.
*TURN Silver Command Wheel 2 clicks to the Right.
*PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE.
*SLIDE-PUSH move Commander Knob 6 times to the Right.
*TURN Silver Command Wheel 5 clicks to the Right.
*PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE.
*TURN Silver Command Wheel 1 click to the Right.
*PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE.
After awhile the loading of screen and MAZDA logo should occur.
If Black Touch-Screen continues you will need your CMU hardware replaced.
A normal system boots up automatically by itself when car is on ACC or started.
The above Factory Reset can also be done via Touch-Screen if
it is working OK (not black). Also recommend this Factory Reset IF you have Tweaks installed Before you install updated Version 59 or higher Firmware
Hey bro do you have v55 or v57 or v59 firmware file …if so let me know and could you send me link I’ll owe you BIG time!
You can use windows disk manager to partition a bit of your drive to be able to format at FAT32
Lol sounds like you had the 59 FW and didn't install the IDW70 package. Mazda updated to the 59 FW because they were afraid of people making changes like you did. You can do a workaround on 59 FW but you need to hook a serial connection up in the back of the CMU and install an exploitation FIRST, then you can do what you want. 59 FW locked up the original 57 FW loopholes.
I did the entire carplay conversion on my wife's Fiat Abarth 124 and it was fine when following the directions. No Mazda logos, nav works, carplay and Android auto work.
Have you try to disconnect the battery and refresh? Just an idea
Can buy a new cmu if you want for cheaper if you replace it yourself. It is important to read the instructions properly so you dont brick it.
I've been having some issues with my Mazda Demio [Mazda 2 in US]. The stearing wheel's bottons stop working, the bluetooth sound stopped working [you can listen radio stations but can't listen sounds throught bluetooth [music, calls..] and my reverse camera stopped working too. Do you think updating my system would help me?? HELPPPP!!!
So, to recap:
DO NOT MOD YOUR MAZDA...
unless you're slightly more patient than an ADHD squirrel.
Hey dude. I just updated my Mazda 3 2014 BM from 59 to 70 with no issue. You probably failed at some step. I saw a workaround how to initiate reinstall with blank screen.
If the screen is black and you can hear music just do a reset, mine was like that and could only go through pre-saved stations, found a guide on how to reset, did it and screen came back to life
I have the same case too. Screen is black and I can hear music. This was after a failed firmware update. Any idea on how to do this reset?
Worked fine for me.. just think before you do things🤯
Did you try putting it on accessory and then taking the knob control knob and holding it in for 30 seconds I guess then turn the car off and See if that works and get you back your system
yeah i own a 2017 cx5 thanks for telling me
Jeez $1000, still wouldn’t you buy a head unit from a dealer / wreckers? The functionality of the camera and sensors are most likely fine, they just can’t communicate with the infotainment system anymore. Would of worked out cheaper?
Just upgraded my japanese CX5 to a EU new firmware! All went perfect😅
I followed the instructions and had no problems
OMG.... thanks for the advice.... this killed my guts for good
You clearly didn't follow the instructions. If you follow them exactly it's so incredibly easy. I did mine in my 16 CX5 a month ago and had zero issues.
I just updated my Mazda to the latest. I downloaded the file and left my car running and it downloaded successfully. I got it from a Mazda technician that sold me the file
Lesson learned. Pay the money and get Mazda dealership to do it.😂😂
$45-50 for the software update? In Australia its over $400 australian. For a software update. Thats more than $200 US. Just to get a
It happened to me. You can fix it . If you had made a full copy of your system then reset the internal memory by wiping it manually then loaded that bitch up with the copied content. Lol
I hope you hit 3 ,enter and clear and 2 enter and clear then hit exit leave car for 3 minutes before you did 99 to install update. I’ve fixed plenty of bricked items before, it’s not impossible, there is always away. You just just have to find it.
i tried to update mine but something happened and i have broke mine. Now screen is black and i just hear radio, that I can't tune. The car is starting ok, but infotainment ia gone
Can anyone provide a link to the file for Australia/Newzealand version.
Much appreciated.
Can't you just replace the infotainment unit?
Glad I tuned in for this lecture. I've owned a second gen cx9 since new and will not get that android or apple crap. I barely drive it but still would look nice with the apps. Your the second person that said a similar story! Thanks Man
I have the 2018 mazda3. I want to get android auto but I don't want to swap out the infotainment
Follow the instructions and you’ll be okay
Turn the car up while you’re holding the master knob down and let go of it and turn the car back on
clearly you screwed the pooch here buddy, thousands have done this had no issues at all
You didn't know what you were doing.
Just put the flash drive back in there and wait like 10 minutes it shoulf w9rk
Just a reason to buy a New Android dash 10.1" screen
Did you find the solution though ??????
I did it no issue. Follow the steps exactly
Svp, J'ai besoin du nom de site internet pour télécharger la dernière version.
You gotta follow instructions to a T. I've done it twice no issues.
fat32 is 8tb max partition limit, no?
Same thing happened to me about a month ago but I never updated anything it just happened one day. After about 2 days my screen kept bootlooping and the next day it turned on while I was on the highway
I have 2016 mazda 6 gt and mine was doing similar thing as yours. My issue turned out to be a bad factory SD card. The dealership replaced it and haven't had an issue in a year so far.
I need a help...the install not complete and i have a problem i lisn only to the radio and i can see anthing..
fixed?
Can someone send me the link to update my 2016 mazda 6 , im currently on OS 51.00.351
good tip i downloaded the tweak to my car on a flash drive and i don't think i'm going to plug it in to my car because i' have the newest 70. firmware update. not worth messing up my 2018 car which is still covered for another 100k just to get android auto. i will keep using my phone for waze and google maps or the map that comes with car
If you have the 70.00.100 and higher firmware, it already supports AA. You just need to install the new USB ports / wires and AA / ACP will appear in the Apps section. You can buy the kit off Amazon for about $170. It was pretty simple to install in my Mazda 3. Only need a trim pry tool for a small piece on the dash and a socket wrench for one bolt. The center console area all pops apart easily.
"I know what I'm doing"
Nope.
I have the same experience. They want to charge me 1400$ for the repair . Bullshit experience !
I dunno how you fucked this You can literally start the update and leave it run from 15 minutes 😅 I’ve never seen the firmware update brick it unless you somehow completely fucked up the absolute most basic task.
Mazda wanted $190 to update my firmware. I just did it myself without issue.
You did it wrong... You need to follow some steps prior to the 99 menu option and also close doors and get at least 5 meters away from the car... You did it wrong buddy!!!
Almost positive if you disconnect your battery for 30 minutes and try it would work but yanno
So what would the dealership charge us the connect it on our 2017.5 Mazda 6!??
Thanks! 😊
about $1200 give or take...
@@xLauant $1200?? Who told you that?
I has that problem, I manage to fix it, it's a little bit complicated but I fix it
Any chance you can get me the info on how to fix this. Happened to me also. I did my car no problem. Wife has the exact same car and ran into this black screen issue.
Did you find a solution?
My issue is another thing I NEED HELP What mine does is sometimes, specially when it’s cold, when I turn it on my phone gets connected to the Bluetooth but there is no sound. The screen is black. You can see the arrow like playing but no sound. It goes away 20-30 mins after driving. I cannot find any solution 😞
Rework... lmao . Partition
What was the outcome dude? How much did it cost in the end to fix?
$1200 but I lucked out and Mazdas extended the warranty for the computer system.
@@xLauant Bloody hell! Yeah, you were lucky alright - think I'll go down the official route rather than risking this. Thanks for the heads up and reply dude
@@xLauant How many miles were on your car at the time? And what was this extension of warranty for the computer system?
Mandy Frank-Lucero I had 75K miles and I ended up paying $200 to fix everything. Unfortunately a few months later my car was involved in a hit and run with a semi truck. Insurance totaled it and I lost my car.....
Did u try to unplug it then plug it back in. That should work u don't know how tech works obviously never had issues with wifi
just don't be cheap and pay to get it done right.
WHEW! I lucked out and didnt screw myself! SOMEHOW! And listen I amaSCATTERBRAIN thattypically screws up! again WHEW! Although I WAS still under warranty! Hard to imagine that they would have denied warranty!
I have the same experience…
bruh even 8 year olds can follow that instructions, I've done this update twice.
So I have a black screen now. How can I get it back to functioning? I was on 55
De la 55 qué versión instalaste que hizo tu pantalla negra brou
I call Bullshit on the price because Mazda wants to charge me 169.00 and tax to update the firmware on my 2018 CX5 and that's a freaking ripoff
"everything went perfectly until I turned my car off top early". Bro to early is to early, doesn't matter if it's just a wee bit, it still got shit to do and you abrupted it. Firmware is literally the operating systems most fundamental instructions on how it should run, messing up the installation will ofc fuck it up.
Thank you, you saved me a headache from trying to upgrade myself.
This is laughable. Follow the instructions. I just updated to 74. never done this before and worked perfectly.
It works if you follow the instructions. If it didn’t work, you didn’t follow the instructions, sorry.
i took it to the dealer for a oil change( free) and they updated it for free lol
How dumb one should be to screw up the easiest process ever
Do firmware yourself following guide
Anyone who did this recently know where to get the firmware files?
Hi i have it. But I have the 70.x.x4A N
Thanks for video. I see you have a Kia. I’m deciding between buying a Kia Sportage and cx5. Both 2016 models. How do you find the Kia compared to Mazda. I think I’m going for the Mazda due to interior quality but Kia has more accessories. Thanks
I would have to say the CX5 over the Sportage. Both Mazda and Kia have stepped up their interior game. However, when it comes to all-around quality Mazda has Kia beat for the 2016 model year
