In case you're not aware, as well as first updating the firmware to a version v70.00.21 or later you will also need to buy a new USB unit - with a phone icon against one of the USB slots - and the associated cabling. It will be all this hardware cost and the labour cost for fitting that a dealer will include as well as the firmware upgrade labour cost in a quote for the Apple CarPlay / Android Auto upgrade.

It is possible to do all the work yourself if willing to follow religiously the necessary firmware upgrade steps plus taking apart a fair section of the central console and the infotainment screen removal and refitting in order to replace the hub unit.
No problems there :) I have been looking into it a lot and have found the unit online but couldn’t find the updates. I’m a computer tech so I have some confidence working with it and have already opened the centre console to fix some stuff as well

Dear @ASH8,

I am in possession of a CX5 2015, with the actual software version 56.00.513 EU N. Would you be able to share with me the needed files to make the update to a Carplay capable system (i will install the hardware afterwards).

Kind regards!!

Looking for any of the EU N 74.00.3XX firmware update files, I would like to send a private message to our savior ASH8 and therefore must first write a post or maybe two here. Thanks a million for your many years of service to the entire Mazda community!

... in case any other friendly stranger from the internet reads this and wants to help me and thus also relieves ASH8, I would of course also be super grateful!

Update: I'm covered. Thanks for your great help and best wishes to the community!

Hi @ASH8

I got a new to me (2017) CX-5 this weekend and would like to update the infotainment unit with the latest firmware. Is this something you'd be able to help me with please? I don't yet meet the minimum requirements to send you a direct message.
The version I have installed is 59.00.449 4A N.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks to @ASH8 for running this forum - you're helping out countless Mazda owners.

I've downloaded 'cmu150_NA_74.00.324A_update.up' and related files.

My hash values for the .up file are as follows, both of which check as verified / valid against the values in the supplied .txt file:
MD5: 49C7C7A834CA40CBBBB68F29EE696475
SHA-1: 975935BD09E9EA90CFEC22AE87D66B310A2242E3

Here's my question: Is this 'cmu150_NA_74.00.324A_update.up' FW update applicable to my 2017 CX-9 GT? Are there any issues updating the 2017 CX-9 GT (assuming I follow the proper steps)?

BTW, I've already upgraded the FW from 70.00.100A to 70.00.335C, so I'm pretty confident I can properly follow the steps / instructions.

Thanks in advance.
