Hello, I am about to go to a dealer to get the AA/CP but I think I should update my firmware from 59.00.441 from to 70+ myself first. Will that be possible while keeping AIO functionality? I am aware that the new firmware takes more space and leaves less room to install a lot o tweaks. As far...

So while at the dealership to get an oil change I asked about getting the CP/AA retrofit. They said they would start making appointments for it on November 19th, but when I asked for what they would charge he said he did not know yet. I mentioned that online people where saying it was around...

Hi, Wanted to hear people's experiences who used both AIO and changed to official AA from Mazda. Has the experience been more stable? Better performance? For reference, using a 2015 Mazda 3, Pixel 2XL and recent version of AIO. It's been a good experience but some lags, freezes on long drives...

what are the advantages of official AA? I heard the music quality isn't as good as just connecting your phone via mazda bluetooth

So far my experience with Android Auto has been great. I have found one issue though. My phone disconnects the second my car gets put into reverse. Sometimes it reconnects after and sometimes I have to replug it. Phone is a S8. Anyone else have this experience?

Hi, Been lurking for a few months while I decided on buying a 2015 3 in the UK. I've been following the CarPlay/Android Auto discussion is it's something I would really like in my car. I have the retrofit booked in for the 17th of September but the only thing I'm worried about is not having...

MMC Japan has just issued to Mazda Distributors and Dealers worldwide this following Bulletin which I have copied (as I wont publicise the original). Japan have been aware for sometime about the AIO Tweaks and will no longer cover Connect (MZD or Mazda Connect) on any car which has been...

Hello all, So the official front car seat covers, less than 2 years old, the white lettering have started turning yellow. Tried scrubbing them out with a wet cloth, didn't do much. Anyone know how to get these to white again?

What is the official 0-60 on the 2014-2016 M3 SGT HB 2.5L 6MT? I would think it should be high 6s but C&D says 7.4s. 2015 Mazda 3 2.5L Manual Hatchback ? Long-Term Test Wrap-Up ? Car and Driver Looking here C&D had the CX-5 with the same engine at 7.7, however the CX-5 2.5 is an auto and the...

Hi I saw in the recent Mazda 3 owners newsletter/magazine I got through the post that there is now an official DAB+ USB adapter available. Looking on their site, it is £187 without installation. Official Page: Mazda3 Accessories Since I have already updated the CMU myself to the latest...

Feel free to post pictures of your aftermarket lights: HIDs, halogen, retrofitted projectors, etc. Don't forget to state the brand, specifications, cost, and overall review. I'll go first!

I'm tired of dealing with the conversion kits and I want OEM headlights. I know the cost and am sucking it up and buying OEM. I found the set at Mazda-Parts and it's 1,300. I've always wanted the OEM hids but I hate leather, so I really don't mind paying the extra to do the real deal. What all...
