Update firmware to 70.00 help


I have a 2018 cx-5. The infotainment firmware version is currently 59.00. I need to update it to 70.00 so I can install the retrofit kit that include carplay and Android auto first. How can I do this myself?

Start here:

https://mazda.welcome.naviextras.com/

You can read the instructions on how to accomplish it. It'll offer you purchase of the correct update to the Nav/maps. And you can download the little software utility to get the update done. There are some less-expensive ones and some people report they've used them fine, but this is the official Mazda one from the Mazda site.

From Mazda, the basic steps are:

  • Download the Toolbox to your computer and create an account.
  • Eject the SD Card from your Mazda Connect navigation system and insert it into your computer.
  • Follow the Mazda Update Toolbox on-screen instructions to update your map.
  • Re-insert the SD card into your Mazda Connect navigation system.

Did mine last year. IIRC, it was ~$75.

I think he is talking about the cars infotainment system, not navigation sd card updates. To the OP. Look through the forum. There are several threads about doing it. You have to get a link from someone as we can't publish it openly or it will be taken down. From another thread: "search

Aliexpress for Carplay kit vendors you'll find links and instructions" Try this thread as well: https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/mazda-...3875753/page-9 One poster says he can provide a link.

Mazda-MZD Connect FIRMWARE Downloads-UPDATED

CX-3 Owners (worldwide), YES you can update your Firmware yourself IF you wish to a later updated versions, these later versions have many bug fixes and at times new features for particular model Mazda's.

All Skyactiv Mazda's has the same 'usage' in all the Mazda model line up, like CX-5, CX-9, CX-3, Mazda 2, 3 and 6 and MX-5.

ALL you need to do is select and install the correct 'Type' for your Country or Region..DO NOT Mix up or Install Firmware meant for different Countries/Regions.

There are basically 4 different Firmware Types.
NA is for North America ONLY.
EU is for Europe and UK.
ADR (4A) is for Australia, NZ, Thailand, Philippines, most of South America and most of Africa and Oceania.
JP is for Japan ONLY.

How Do I know what 'Version Of Firmware' I already have installed in my car with Mazda-MZD Connect now?

Do the following on your cars Dashboard Connect LCD Screen to reveal.......

Connect Touch Screen ON; touch "Settings" icon (far right); Then far right Folder Tab '>>' touch it a few times to 'System' Folder; finger scroll to bottom of page touch "About"; touch "Version Information";

See the three Version of Firmware Type + Numbers listed on
your cars Dashboard Connect LCD Screen (EU here is an example).......

OS Version is 56.00.513 EU N
Music Database Version is 00.05.000
Fail Safe Version is 56.00.513

Note:

The N after the firmware 'type' means the 'SatNav' protocol that being the NNG brand.
(JP firmware has 'SatNav' protocol M by Matsukone only used for/in Japan).

Note: Earlier Versions of Firmware may not show any 'type' or letters after the numbers, until a later update has been installed, be careful if there are no alpha letters after the firmware numbers that you do install the correct type for your Country, do not guess it, ask here if you are not certain.

Anyway there is a Thread I created over at our Sister Auto Guide.com forums, the Mazda 3 Revolution .com forum with all the Links and Advise you will ever need, yes it is a long thread, but it really is very simple.
As I can not post external links here, go to this Forum and look for this specific Thread Title and Download Links....

"Mazda-MZD Connect FIRMWARE Downloads-UPDATED"

There is also a similar named thread which is much older and much larger, but it is not up to date and contains far less user info and user instructions.

IF you have already installed any 'Tweaks" or SSH re-formatting in your great Mazda CX-3 I strongly suggest you remove these tweaks BEFORE you run the standard OE Mazda Firmware update.
Some owners (only a few) have bricked their CMU because they did not follow this advise.
You do not void your warranty by updating your Connect Firmware yourself.
Note, there are also updated Gracenote Music Database Firmware in this thread that you can also install, plus help and advise.

This thread is NOT about any hacking advise, sorry, I can not help you there.
There are other threads/members who can for that.
