- Installing the CarPlay hub in the Mazda 3 2014 GT
Gen 3 I believe.
Must have at least 7.00.xx upgrade installed !!
seek information online before attempting about having correct software prior to install, I assume no liability.
1)no need to fully remove boot or glove box (tuck wires up then down behind)
2) remove floor panel towards engine at left side of passenger feet, it just pops off and back on
3) just tuck cords under center console trim - replace panel and fastner
- Good Luck!
it worked for us.
I just got a 2014 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback, it’s a very nice car. Interior is very nice, and upgraded the touchscreen to Apple CarPlay. I like how Mazda provides a oem kit to for it, no other company does this. Very impressed with the car.
Please how did you upgrade the firmware?
Can you link where to buy it?
@@TravelExplorer2040look up 888 WERKES. He has a great vid on how to do the firmware update.
Great instructions!! Just got a unit off Aliexpress, I've never taken apart a car before so was super careful and got it done in an hour.
I just did the install and the most confusing part was figuring out which cable plugged in were. Wasn't too hard to figure out since they will only fit it one spot.
There is one open plug on the hub unit and it doesn't seem to matter. Not sure what it's for. Maybe AUX audio, but I didn't test that.
Thanks for sharing the instructions!
Well this is unfortunate as I'm on v27 and I can't get the software update for Australia region, tried the Mazda revolution site that other videos recommend where I could find all the files I need there but I can't message anyone because account too new. I make a post there asking for help in acquiring the files for my region but it was removed an hour later! Made a Reddit post on Mazda 3 sub asking for help updating from v27 but got no help so I repost to another Mazda sub... And again, no help! I really wanted to install myself instead of paying dealership $515 for them to do it but since I can't even update the infotainment, the dealership is my only option!
This vid made me wanne do it myself to. Thank you very much!
Thank you for this, the instructions on this installation differ depending on if your car has a CD player or not. Most are for the ones without a cd player so this is helpful.
Please provide link on Amazon to the usb hub!
Do you have a link to the new USB hub with CarPlay?
how do u have touch screen for me everything worked perfectly but the touch screen didn't work
Pretty straight forwards. Thank you for sharing this!!
Do you have to keep the iPhone plugged in each time or only on initial setup ?
Does it charge the phone at the same time is the big question- if not I’d be better off with a phone holder
Yeah charges phone at the same time. Just bought a unit off Aliexpress.
@@jellyoful how much on AliExpress- can u post a link so I can buy the same one
So it will work for OS Version is 74.00.230 NA N?
Have you tested this with an android phone? Thanks
It works the same with andoid auto, but the touch won't work with it (mazda's policy). You can use the controls on the center console.
Thank you so much - I did this today and it was really helpful
Sophism
So what happens if bios isn't updated?
My hub is doing the reset bug even with the navigation card removed. I want to replace the hub thinking it will fix the problem.
I do not know the consequences of not doing it…mine was at that level, and a think there have been a few more updates since I installed mine, but I have never updated past 70.xx - every mazda 3 forum says you must do it to that point or the aftermarket hub installs will not function…I need to find out if I take it in or try to do an update if it will still function?
It could brick your entire infotainment system. The update will cost around $70 depending where you are located eg. USA. Canada, Australia.
@@alrightythen888 I'm in Australia and Mazda dealership quoted me $320 for the USB replacement hub and cables but theywon't supply the software update so there's no point doing myself since I'm on v27 and I have no f**king idea where else to get the update files from, other tutorials linked Mazda 3 revolution but I can't even interact with anyone there that may have the files cos newly created accounts can't message others and posts get removed. I have to get it done at the dealership for $515!
So do you have to take the center console out or can you just pull the wires under and connect to usb hub.
As in center console, if you mean the cup holder area and the attached brake lever boot? - I would say yes, I did that in the video and it does make it easier, just lift up on it and it pops out, like any trim in the vehicle, things just pop free, pay attention to that cord that I said the clip faces towards the passenger side (it did in my case)-- I think I was referring to not having to remove the shifter area and the cd player etc…
350 euro to install at my local mazda. So the oem car hub is 200 bucks. So might just go MD on this. Great video btw.
Is UA-cam on it?
most dealers will not sell the hub without installation.
Another incomplete YT DIY video. Lowering the glove box is a beech. Friend was upset after watching your video. I also love the uploader's sophist comment: if I can do this anyone can?! A friend break clips and more. They lost the screw for the infotainment screen. The cloth didn't prevent that. They should've used a magnetic screw driver instead. Ultimately, they ended up going to an auto mechanic to fix what they broke and messed up. And these cheap "hubs" work for 6 months at best then they're garbage.
Wait so car play is installed in sd card and it will work if we just plug it in?
Dude you dead???😊
Thanks, I just used your video to install the CarPlay module in my daughter’s Mazda 3…works great.
Just did mine, carplay works but not the android auto. Changed the cable but still not working.
Hello i just installed it on my Mazda but my Touchscreen isn't working while in Android Auto is there a fix somehow ?
No fix for this unless Mazada themselves roll out a new software update. For some reason touch screen is still enabled in Apple CarPlay.
Is it just Apple CarPlay or does it work with Android Auto?
@@uuhhhhhhhh189 I do not know this answer, I have an iPhone
hi please where to get the software ?
Did you manage to find the software updates after a year?! I currently have the same problem of not being able to find the software updates I need for Australia region since the dealership won't provide me the software to go with the USB hub replacement, the Mazda revolution site I was guided to was bloody useless since I can't even message the user that was said to be able to help... BeCaUsE mY aCcOuNt Is ToO nEw 🤪... Well, no shit!! I just made damn account to get what I need! So I make a post there asking for help and... It was deleted within the hour! 😡 My only option now it seems is to pay up $515 to the dealership to get android auto 😢
How do you update to version 70x software
Good info here h ttps://www.mazda3revolution.com/threads/mazda-connect-firmware-update.247840/
And on UA-cam
@@thetoolmat8632 LOLZ. Only 3 posts there and none tell us how to obtain and install the update.
I'm a bit confused, so did you not buy any specific pieces?
You have to buy a new usb hub
