Entonces, si ha revisado la pantalla táctil de su propio CX-3 y ha hecho esto como se muestra arriba ...
¿Cómo sé qué 'Versión de Firmware' ya tengo instalada en mi coche con Mazda-MZD Connect ahora?

Ahora debería ver una pantalla que muestra la base de datos de firmware y música instalada actualmente.

---------------------------------000ooo000-----------------------------------

Si estás en 4A o Australia / NZ / Tailandia, etc., puede mostrar ... vea ejemplos de imágenes de pantalla táctil a continuación para ADR (4A) y JP Japón.

La versión del sistema operativo es 56.00.100 4A N
La versión de la base de datos de música es 00.05.000
La versión a prueba de fallos es 56.00.100

Por lo tanto, en este ejemplo para ADR (4A), la cadena numerada es 56.00.100, por lo tanto, puede actualizar a la más reciente ADR_56.00.513C, que es un archivo de firmware superior y más reciente (enlaces de descarga de firmware disponibles en Mazda3 Rev Forum Thread).
También puede actualizar su base de datos de música a 00.07.000
NUNCA instale una versión obsoleta inferior del firmware.

---------------------------------000ooo000-----------------------------------

Si estás en NA o América del Norte, EE.UU., Canadá, México puede mostrar...

La versión del sistema operativo es 55.00.760 En N
La versión de la base de datos de música es 00.05.000
La versión a prueba de fallos es 55.00.760

Entonces, en este ejemplo para NA, la cadena numerada es 55.00.760, por lo tanto, puede actualizar a la más reciente En_59.00.441A, que es un archivo de firmware superior y más reciente (enlaces de descarga de firmware disponibles en Mazda3 Rev Forum Thread).

/CITA]

So if you have checked your own CX-3's touch screen and done this as shown above...
How Do I know what 'Version Of Firmware' I already have installed in my car with Mazda-MZD Connect now?

You should now see a screen showing the installed Firmware and Music Database presently installed.

---------------------------------000ooo000-----------------------------------

If you are in 4A or Australia/NZ/Thailand etc it may show...see example touchscreen pics below for ADR (4A) and JP Japan.

OS Version is 56.00.100 4A N
Music Database Version is 00.05.000
Fail Safe Version is 56.00.100

So in this example for ADR (4A) the numbered string is 56.00.100, therefore you can update to newer ADR_56.00.513C which is a higher and latest Firmware File (Firmware Download links available on Mazda3 Rev Forum Thread).
You can also update your Music Database to 00.07.000
NEVER install a Lower Outdated Version of Firmware.

---------------------------------000ooo000-----------------------------------

If you are in NA or North America, USA, Canada, Mexico it may show...

OS Version is 55.00.760 NA N
Music Database Version is 00.05.000
Fail Safe Version is 55.00.760

So in this example for NA the numbered string is 55.00.760, therefore you can update to the newer NA_59.00.441A which is a higher and latest Firmware File (Firmware Download links available on Mazda3 Rev Forum Thread).
You can also update your Music Database from 00.05.000 to 00.07.000.
NEVER install a Lower Outdated Version of Firmware.

MZD Connect

Any versión after 55.00.760 but after then 59.00 for NA?

 

A Mazda tech will normally connect a secondary power supply to the vehicle as it's important to maintain a stable voltage and also not allow the ignition to timeout during the update process.
Edit: A secondary power supply does not prevent Mazda MZD Connect time out or off.
TO PREVENT TIMEOUT You MUST PRESS Pedals every 20 minutes to avoid CMU crash.

 

A Mazda tech will normally connect a secondary power supply to the vehicle as it's important to maintain a stable voltage and also not allow the ignition to timeout during the update process.

The time out process is fully explained in the instructions: Press the Clutch and or Brake Pedal every 15-20 minutes as the Time Out occurs @ 25 minutes, it is Critical that the ACC mode does not turn off accessories, and has nothing to do with using an external power supply.

Connecting and external power supply is not always necessary for CMU flashing but does not hurt if owner has a battery charger as the charger will compensate for a low charge car battery, hundreds(+) of updates have been done by owners without tethering any external power supply to stabilise voltage, but it can be critical if battery is old to use an external 12V charger because if CMU detects any instability with battery it will shut itself down and will brick CMU.

Mazda mandates an external supply when using IDS as load is put on the Starter and Battery with EREO scenarios during the actual IDS module update process.
Mazda Connect (CMU) flashing is different as engine is always off as are all other loads, like fans, lights, AC, etc.

As I said, all the instructions including those from Mazda are available at 3 rev forum.

 

I still recommend MOST people take it to the dealer. if anything happens, and I mean anything, you're screwed if you attempt this yourself. Let the dealer handle it and assume all responsibility. The only people that should do this themselves are those that are comfortable hacking their system and have done so before.

 

Sorry, but (my thread) is not "hacking" their (your) system, the OEM Connect files are the exact same files any Mazda Dealer uses.....I do not support any Hacking or SSH if you read the thread at Mazda 3 rev forum it is all OEM and genuine.
http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/...ctiv-audio-electronics/180578-mazda-mzd-connect-firmware-downloads-updated.html

Firmware updates for your Gracenote Music Data-Base 00.07.000 (latest) are actually performed by the Owner, that is you, not the Mazda Dealer, and they are in the exact same format (.UP file) and similar install process as the Connect Firmware updates.
http://infotainment.mazdahandsfree.com/howto-updategracenote?language=en-US

And no it will not void your warranty either if you do it yourself and correctly, that is just a ludicrous comment. There are many hundreds of Mazda/MZD Connect owners who have done the same genuine Connect firmware updates and have not had any problem with their Dealers, Mazda does not run a cross reference data base on any firmware updates.

A bit like saying having a local IO servicing your car will void your new car warranty, it will not.
I was a warranty claim officer for Mazda for years in all facets of fixed operations, please stop the misinformation.

Having said that IF you hacked/SSH/ and did damage Mazda may not support the repair, again what I have listed is exactly what Mazda Dealers use.

 

How to Disable Speed Restrictions without hacking or ssh.(Genuine)

2004 to 2016 Mazda 3 Forum and Mazdaspeed 3 Forums - View Single Post - Mazda-MZD Connect FIRMWARE Downloads-UPDATED

Very simple and can be done by owner directly off their Connect Touchscreen script.

 

I'm not saying you're encouraging hacking, I'm saying only people comfortable with hacking their system should do these things. I've seen far too many threads where people screwed up their infotainment system and now have to get an expensive repair because they blindly followed someone saying "it is so easy to do so and so".

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing you, I'm just giving people a heads up.

 

I really fail to understand why you are posting misinformation.
You do not have to be experienced in "hacking" to update software or firmware.
Yes it is not quite hitting only one "update' button on your smart phone, or PC, but it is simply listed instructions done by many, many people around the world, even a video to show you how to.
But I understand, I guess some have it an others don't.

EDIT: Just to make this clear, None of what I have said in any forums comes close to 'hacking', it is everything your Mazda Dealer does, and it is not hacking, simple.

And yes, I have not suggested that owners 'blindly follow' what 'someone says', precisely why I don't recommend hacking, again, what I post is Exactly what Mazda says in TSB and what your Mazda Dealer does when updating your Mazda Connect or MZD connect.

The failures I have seen are from those who have previously hacked and do not remove the hacks before running a genuine firmware updates, if you don't hack you wont run into this issue.

Or they have had hardware issues and trying to resolve them with software updates which never works. IF this is the case then Mazda has renewed part without question and at no owner cost as it is a know defect.

So far there has been no reported issues with actual CMU or TAU Hardware in CX-3, there will always be Firmware updates, and once out of new car warranty owners will then resort to doing it themselves or paying over $100 which will be the update cost a Service Dealer will charge as it is the listed service schedule.

So how do you update your Gracenote Music Database greasman85, just interested.

 

Hi

I've been advised that you are able to help,

I have a 2019 CX3 with OS Ver 59.00.5455 EU N
but I want to be able to use the Android Auto/Car Play on the update

can you point me in the right direction of where I can get the software
and do I need to buy a USB adaptor to update my current USB ports on the dash of my car.. as I've seen youtube videos
where they have had to remove and update to a newer USB socket to get the Android Auto/Apple car play to work...
but I've not been able to locate if this is needed for the 2019 version

any help would be great

Mouth

 

However when I push DELETE for 20 sec nothing happens. Any idea what I do wrong ?

 

Again, I'm not accusing you of encouraging hacking, I'm not sure why you keep going on about that. And, I'm not talking about Gracenote updates, which Mazda provides and tells you how to do. I'm talking about the far more difficult and time consuming firmware updates that could potentially brick your system if you don't know exactly what you're doing. This is why Mazda doesn't provide these updates for consumers to do and says to go to a dealer.

I'm not posting any misinformation, if anything you need to be careful when posting things like this and have a disclaimer to warm people of the potential problems they could face. This is what I did, I just said most people shouldn't do this.

 

HI
MY CAR IS MAZDA 3 , MODEL 2015
i live in middle east and my os version is 28.00.100 and vin code is JM7BM3S71F1113568.
How do i understand which firmware is suitable for my car ????
thanks.

 

these are the photoes of my car

 

Anyone can provide the latest download links for (OS, Music Database, Fail Safe) versions here?

I'm in Canada. Thank you so much!

 

Try here:

MZD Connect

 

For those of you who might be in a similar boat to me of wanting to install some of the Mazda tweaks, keep in mind that the latest versions of the firmware lock out the ability to install tweaks. You have to update to v55 of the firmware, run some scripts, and then update to v59. If you go straight to v59, you'll be installing changes that Mazda made to prevent updates over USB. Since I missed that line in the instructions, I'm now either stuck not doing any changes or having to pull the CMU enough to connect wires to hack the system.

 

HI Alll samurais;-)


Just bought myself an mazda cx 3 2015 year

and im looking forward to drivin it.

got myself an application AIO

but my software need an update i have 51.00

Hi is it possible to install the eu version on a japan one since my mazda 2 (demio) has the japanese version. Is the procedure the same as that of an update? Thanks.

 

anyone have fw 74.00.200 ?, Could you please share me ?.

 

The next release will be 74.00.230, it is available for NA N or NORTH AMERICA ONLY right now.

The rest of the world EU N and 4A N (ADR), will be a few more months yet....nobody has them in the wild, even Mazda Dealers do not have them yet....about November December 2021.

This 74 version has WCP Wireless Carplay software, but you MUST also buy a 2021 CMU hardware designed for WCP as WCP will not work without the correct CMU Hardware...cost new is over $1000 USD.

 

Just replying to be able sending a message to you.
Thanks for all the information by the way.

 

Hi, Question, can I go from 56.00230EU N to 70.00.367A or do I have to go through 70.00.100A first?

 

Did you read..FIRMWARE ALERT-MUST READ

obviously not....YES you have to do 70.00.100A TWO FILES

 

So anybody noticed some changes after updating?

 

Well looks like this is the end..
I cant log in to server either..
Looks like the guy who was paying has no longer renewed his subscription.
I have tried to contact but not looking good.

 

working on new server....try after weekend

 

Hey ASH, I am looking for the Australian firmware v56-58 preferably (there was a copy of ADR 56.00.513C at some point). Any chance you or someone else here might have a copy?

Also I have a personal server setup that can host all the files if you have copies of them all. Would also be happy to set up torrents for them, and also seed them on my server so the links never go down again.

 

Does anyone have firmware newer than 70.0.0.100 EU? I installed this successfully on my Mazda and ordered the
Retrofit hub but apparently I'll be needing 70.0.0.200 or newer for CarPlay to work ..

See instruction in Server..
Yes your Carplay will still activate once you install parts with 70.00.100.
YES there is a later or newer version for EU N, that is 70.00.367A

 

Hi Everyone,

My 2017 CX-5 is on 59.00.502 NA N. I need to upgrade my firmware to 70.00.100A. But I am not able to find the firmware. Does anyone know where I can find it ?

 

Did this forum work for your cx5?

 

Have a 2018 cx3 with firmware version 59.00.504 EU N. They told me I need the 70.00.137 to get Android auto install with the kit. Any suggestions where to find and how to install the firmware ?

 

Did you get what you were looking for?

 

Firstly, thanks to all the hard work of the early posters going back to 2016.

So, I have the two files for cmu150_NA_70.00.100A, failsafe.up and reinstall.up. I'm currently running 59.00.504 NA N. If I've read everything correctly, I should be able to do a direct update with these files without having to move to an intermediate version. Does that sound right? Eventually I would like to update my USB hub so that I can install android auto.

 

Hi I'm in Australia and bought the apple carplay interface and read I need to update the firmware to 7. Can anyone help me where to get it from really struggling any help would be appreciated.

 

Just message him.

 

I could really use some help RE: the firmware update.

Before I could even upload the files, my entire audio/nav system had a catastrophic meltdown.

I have tried all variations of hard resets, but it remains completely dead, with the exception of FM static on occasion.

Obviously, I'm staring down the barrel of an expensive and tedious journey. I am hoping someone, somewhere has some CPR I can perform. I'd also, be interested in a knock-off Nav/Stereo Head unit, if anyone has had any success with one.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
