----------------------------------------

So, the Infotainment system is great, but it has me thinking how much greater it could be. There's so much potential wasted right now, and I would like to untap some of that.

The original post: http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/...-infotainment-system-software-components.html.
This got me thinking. This is obviously a linux-based OS running on an ARM chip. This was seen on this post as well: http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/...-accessing-infotainment-diagnostics-menu.html

I'm a software engineer, but don't have any experience dealing with low-level linux based systems. I would love to be able to either install custom, modified linux operating systems in the car or just be able to alter parts of the system to enable hidden or disabled parts of the system.

For instance, every european market has the ability to buy connected services (live traffic, weather, etc), and the Japanese market even can play DVD's and watch live TV!

This may at least give us the ability to upgrade our own systems without visiting the dealer, or use other applications through our phones such as Waze.

What I think may help here is getting the update code dump. This would be solved easiest if someone knows a dealer that can get the update software on a USB stick. If someone could upload that somewhere, we could then start analyzing the update procedure and the software and hopefully fine some way to hijack onto that process.

If you have access to the serial console, wouldn't it be possible to boot in single user mode, mount the filesystem rw, and add a new root user?

My new Mazda 3 came with V56 (EU-version) of the Infotainment system. As explained here, some changes that were made prevent SSH access to the CMU.

To bring back access, @mzd3-k implemented a USB tweak to bring back SSH access (thanks for that!).

However, as it replaces various system files (/etc/passwd, /etc/sshd_config), I preferred a less drastic alternative.

I've attached a USB tweak that will temporarily (until reboot) start up an alternative sshd (on port 7777) that allows you to ssh into the CMU as the "cmu" user (root, basically). From there, you can apply changes to the CMU if you like.

This tweak won't make any changes to CMU files or add new files to the CMU, it only disables the firewall by calling /jci/scripts/jci-fw.sh stop (so only until the next reboot).

The ZIP file contains a README file that outlines what you need to do to get it working. It (obviously) assumes that you have some way of accessing your car over the network (I use a USB ethernet dongle).

How could i do this when my CMU has disabled USB, can i do this tweak with my SD Card . Or please tell me how to enable USB on my CMU.Many thanks !

Total newb question. I just got my 2016 Mazda 6 GT a week ago and am new to this brand.

When I want to change my background image, do I have to reupload the entire master bundle setup each time? or is there a way to just "upload" a new background.png image?

Thanks in advance. This stuff I've read / found so far is awesome.

You can do it manually, if you want to (login via SSH), or you can use AIO for that, which was specially created for it.

Please take a look into the readme and FAQ, many questions should be answered there.

You could try and install the files on an SD card and see if they get loaded like an USB tweak, but I've never tried so I have no idea if it'll work.

Thanks. It doesn't look like AIO is for v51 anymore? It says >=55 on the thread. I'm not comfortable enough to risk upgrading to 55 myself just yet. Are prior releases that were good for v51 hosted somewhere?

I'm on 56.00.513 and used "temporary-ssh-access.zip" but root jci login and password don't work any more. Does anyone know if the login has changed for ssh access?

You shouldn't need to log in with username/password using "temporary-ssh-access.zip", as it works with public/private keys.

You do need to follow the instructions as written in the README. If you don't use a commandline SSH client, you can probably import the private key (stored in the file "mazda-ssh") into your SSH client.

Once you have successfully logged in, you should be root. You still won't be able to change files, because that requires that the file system is remounted read-write (it's read-only by default):

Code:

mount -o rw,remount /

Hi,
I bought a mazda 3 2016 which has v 55. I did lot of reading on this website and bought the usb to ethernet adapter from amazon. Also enabled WiFi which connects to my home router. i can see car's IP in router. Bu the problem is when i ping to that IP i don't get any response. I want to eventually do SSH and put NA maps. Is there any other way to enable maps without SSH? Did i miss any step?

Thanks in advance.

You can use AIO 1.50 (and 1.51 test) for this FW version, but afaik, there are still problems with date_to statusbar mod and all tweaks, that appear in app menu (AA, speedo and videoplayer) aren't visible after installation.
I don't know yet why .

Did you read this?

All other things should be OK.

hello
i want to change the radio in the tweak " Remove the blank album art frame ". I have allready a
new image but i don't know where i have to put that image.
And the picture must be 146x146 , but how much KB kan the image be?

thank you

ameridan

If you want to substitute your alternate, then uninstall option [D] blank-album-art-frame, make an installer again and before installing in your vehicle, replace the NO_ARTWORK_ICON.PNG file in the config\blank-album-art-frame\jci\gui\common\images\ folder on your USB drive.

I didn't want any artwork, so I just deleted all the .PNG files in that folder.
