❗ Warning for 74.00.331 ❗
Installing AIO tweaks on firmware version 74.00.331 may disable wireless CarPlay. AIO tweaks are only recommended for versions 74.00.324 and lower.
Special thanks to @ktk and @Kore for helping with my installation in the comments of this post. It took me some time scrolling through the comments of that post to get this to work, so I decided to make a dedicated FW 74 post. Hope this is helpful for the next person wanting to install this mod.

I will try to create a list of working tweaks. Leave a comment with the tweaks you installed, and on what FW.

Prerequisites
Firmware Compatibility: This guide is specifically for Mazda Connect firmware v74 and above.
(My system is running FW 74.00.324A EU on a 2017 Mazda MX-5 ND RF).

Step 4: Installing the tweaks in your car
I added a video of me doing the install on my car at the bottom of this post.
When installing an update on your Mazda, the car will typically stay on for about 25 minutes with the ignition in the "ON" position (without the engine running) if the clutch isn't pressed. This process should not take anywhere near 25 minutes, but if you are spending some time, I would suggest pressing the clutch every 15 minutes. For automatic cars, I believe you can press the brake pedal to achieve the same effect.

- Power on the car; you don’t need to turn the engine on
- Connect the USB drive and your keyboard
- On my unit, I had to switch off the hardware switch for Apple CarPlay to have the system recognize the USB. I used the top USB-A for my keyboard and the bottom USB-C for my USB drive (with a USB-A to USB-C adapter).
