Hello guys, i bought a mazda Axela 2015 with mzd connect, i have updated to firmware from Japanese to European 70.00.100 and also i have manage to use tweaks with the help of serial connection. The car is great... But my issue is that the frequency is weak and i can't hear clearly the stations.. Any advice what i should I do? What i should buy to repair the issue, or where i can find any hardware if it anything needs changes if its because its a Japanese car?
Please let me know.

The radio tuner in a Japanese spec vehicle will not work correctly on European FM frequency bands. Japan uses it's own FM broadcasting spectrum of 76-95Mhz. The European spectrum is 87.5-108Mhz (with additional support for DAB/DAB+). You'll need to install a correct European variant head unit. It's unlikely a software update alone would correct this since the physical radio tuner hardware is not designed to pick up the higher frequencies.

The radio tuner is actually a seperate unit and not part of the CMU itself. Replacing just that should work.

Seems like Mazda would have them, but they'll probably want you to buy the whole system, again.

You need a new tau, I have a post on upgrading to dab radio, that will fix it.

You should buy a new TAU (Tuner Audio Unit) and use additionall adapter between harness and unit for easy connection, because connectors are usually different.
