BP is the MODEL CODE of the car...and is part of the cars VIN (Number).

Mazda worldwide uses this 'code' to itentify what model, Parts Departments also.

The old model Mazda 3 was the BM and BN.

One before that Mazda 3 was BL.

Mazda 2 is a DJ and DL

CX-3 is DK.

Some trivia, car makers don't usually use the O (letter) as in computers/data O letter gets mistaken for number 0, Same applies to letter I (i) as it can be mistaken as a 1.

What is the file in the car now, seriously Read what is says.

IF your FIRMWARE is a Lower Number then it is outdated, and up to you if you update at your own risk.

IF your Firmware is the EXACT SAME Number then you don't update...no reason to.

IF your Firmware Number is Higher than listed ABOVE then YOU DO NOT UPDATE...

Pretty simple really.

Changelogs are not available at the moment, same applies to fix bugs like ANY Firmware Update.
If anyone does not understand this then they should not touch their car.:nerd:

Thanks for the last message :) the update change nothing visible at this moment. The annoying voice on the GT is still there :( I check my VIN number before and it’s ok :)

I talk with Mazda about the voice when opening this door and the guy tell me that Mazda works with Panasonic at this moment for this problem

Hi Gents,

Please be easy on me as this is my first post here. I bought a new Mazda CX-9 Signature last week. (My son has a 2010 Mazda 3 & we had a Protege before that.) I came across the Mazda AIO Tweaks page when starting to research the 2019 Mazda CX-9 before I bought.

It’s a great vehicle but the infotainment system needs what folks seem to be doing at this Site.

Do you know if that’s possible with the 2019 models with Apple Car Play and Android Auto?

Do I have to take the Dash apart to do so?

I now have second thoughts that my vehicle may not be easily modified.

Can you advise?

I'm in Vancouver, BC Canada and would pay someone who could do this without damaging the car. The Dealer thought I was strange for asking.

Thanks for the assist.

I'm wondering.

Right now Mazda 3 in NA (North America -Canada USA & Mexico) have configured the main headlights along with the Halo as DRL.

*In Europe the drl are just the Halo LED.

Do you guys think that using the update from a Europe version would change this settings , or it would just mess up the whole system?

Regards from Mexico

What's new in 10018?

I found strange 3 things in the version 10013:

* Automatic headlights are not really configurable. In some tunnels lights do not turn on, and there is no way to configure it in the menu. In Mazda3 2017 you could easily change the luminosity
threshold.

* If pressed the lock key in the trunk, if works even the keys are inside the vehicle.

* If disabled the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) in the advance menu, just to enable the traditional cruise control, the configuration is not saved.

I just had my car at the dealer this past Monday for the Rocker Arm recall. I asked them to check if there were any updates to Mazda Connect. I was told mine was the latest at 10015, and also told that they don't just install Connect updates unless the customer can point to a problem.

Anyone know what the 10018 update corrects or changes?
 
#39 ·
I called Mazda USA and asked what the latest version of Connect is for a North America Mazda 3. He couldn't find an answer. Then he transferred me to the Mazda Connect support number. The rep said their group doesn't know anything about the 2019 Mazda 3 Connect and haven't been trained. Then I got the usual talk to my dealer response.
