Looking to see if I need to update firmware for Bluetooth and navigation plus need specs for stereo to get all integrated touch screen and capable with the boss system. Any help will be great thanks!! I have 2012 Mazda 3 skyactiv I grand touring sedan....

Hi all, I've had my vehicle for a few months now and, as I'm sure is not uncommon, have noticed that there is a significant amount of album art missing from Gracenote. I have version 00.09.00, and was curious if there is a further update? It seems that this version is from 2018 and would be...

Anyone else notice that, unless you have the Amazon Music app open and running, ACP will not start the app and run it when you try to tune to it? I get an error message something like "cannot find this source" until I manually open the app on on my iPhone and then the system picks it up like normal.

Any ideas why this might be happening? I ran the install yesterday and it seems like the other tweaks i installed are working correctly, like the touchscreen while moving and removing the camera safety warning. Additionally, the touch screen is now enabled in android auto, but it is VERY slow...

Hi, I've got an early 2016 3 in the UK. I really want the infotainment screen to boot to the music screen everytime I start up the car, at the moment it only does this about 10% of the time. It's just a bit of a niggle that I keep having to press the music button when I start up. I don't want...

Has anyone else encountered this? After completing a phone call, Android Auto does not automatically resume playback. In some cases it turns on the FM radio instead of resuming the song I was listening to. I have a Hyundai with AA and this doesn't happen there, so I'm pretty sure it's an issue...

I have a Pixel 2 running Android 9 connected via Bluetooth to my NA 2015 Mazda 3 and most Bluetooth features work fine (calling, texting, audio, etc), but for some reason I am not able to browse the music on my phone with the infotainment system. Whenever I select "Root Menu" the screen is empty...

Does anyone know whether it is possible to perform rewind and fast forward function using the commander control knob when CarPlay displays the "Playing Now" screen ?? I tried various music apps, including Amazon Music, Google Play Music and CarPlay/iOS own music app, and none of them allows me...

Hello everyone, Has anyone installed such an adapter in his car, and then after hearing for a while, it goes off alone and each time I press the button of the CD it will turn on and off immediately? Does anyone know what the problem is? Is it the adapter or something in the car's electricity...

I have a 2016 Mazda 3 So I got the official stereo retrofit so I can use Carplay / Android Auto. I noticed that playback of music on my usb drive disconnects randomly every 10 minutes or so. Sometimes it connects itself after one minute of silence, and sometimes it just switches input to FM...

Hey guys, I was playing about the the 3 earlier and pressed and held back, music and mute buttons (think I was supposed to hold favourites not back) and a little display popped up top right corner of the screen. Anyone any idea what this is? It stayed on when i turned the car off so I pressed...

I have signed up for Amazon music unlimited trial. This rarely works with voice commands on aa or using OK GOOGLE on the phone. The name group track is instantly reconised and I get a reply saying... asking Amazon music to open the track. Then NOTHING. I rang Amazon music and they say AA is not...

Hey, My MZD has v59.00.545 EU N. I've an Nexus 5X with Android 8.1 and the latest security patches. My favorit music app is Deezer. In the past Deezer starts automatically when I selected bluetooth as audio source in MZD. But now I've to start Deezer manually. I did some researchs and found...

Hello everyone, When my dealer updated my system to v59.00.502, the ability to use playlists from USB disappeared entirely. Meanwhile, music randomization became broken. For instance, every song had to start with the same letter or alternating between 2 letters (technically out of order, but...

Got a new issue today, haven’t updated my phone or anything but cannot play music that is stored on my phone. Can make phone calls, Spotify works as does YouTube, when I go to entertainment, Bluetooth, iPhone X, then select root menu, artist then a song nothing plays. Have restarted phone...

I'm on v59.00.546, Gracenote v8, no AIO tweaks. Your results may vary. For quite some time I've had a complete failure of voice commands for USB music (you may have seen my previous thread). Anyway, today I tried using the Reset all Factory Settings option... and it WORKED!!! Voice commands now...

Hi all- So when did the voice command recognition for USB and Bluetooth music just completely fail? I'll try saying "Play The Beatles" and the response I get is a list of artists on the screen and the voice says "There are no artists in this list." I rarely use voice command, but I remember it...

Is there any way to get the music to shuffle by album instead of song (within a playlist or a folder on a USB drive)? I've so far failed to get that to work?

I am doing a first post. I will be posting my experiences with putting music on a memory stick to use in the infotainment system on my 2016 cx5.
