How to enable touch screen while driving Mazda infotainment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- UPDATE: with Mazda's new Firmware updates this menu has been completely eliminated, the newest firmware update will allow you to run Google Auto and Apple CarPlay but you'll have to get a module and run wires from the module to the CMU. Everyone please check out this site mazdatweaks.com and download MZD-AIO-TI v2.8.4 preferably use a Windows computer, this tweaks also have one to enable touch screen while driving, but only for older versions the tweaks don't work on the latest firmware.
This will show all Mazda's infotainment years 2015, 2016 how to enable the touch screen while driving, without tweaks. Just entering in the CMU's test mode. This worked on OS version 55.00.753 NA it may also work on 55.00.760 NA I haven't tried on that one. Just when you get into the Test mode don't mess with the other toggles or you'll end up taking it to the dealer for them to fix it and it will cost you.
This works for 2017 mazda 3s 4 door and 5 door if anyone is wondering. Thx 4 the vid! I had debris near the buttons and one day the home key got stuck. Gl everyone
When I try on my 17' I get to the test screen but after holding DEL for 20 sec it just unclicks the button and I never get to where I can put in 11. Also noticed his enter button is constantly lit up like he can click it where mine is greyed out and can't be selected.. is this the new update he's saying makes it not work? I thought he was talking about cars from 2019 on
@@jacobwhicker8423Same for me, hoping someone can figure it out and share real soon
Exactly what I was looking for without need to install additional scripts. Just took car for quick spin, and can confirm that it does work. Thanks
IT WORKS!!!!!!! 2021 MX-5. Thank you so much. I went through the firmware update to 74.00.324 from 74.00.230?. Followed directions to the letter. Now I need a screen cleaning solution... fingerprints coming! WOO HOO!!!!
how did you do it? i tried so many times to hold the delete and nothing appears?
The key is the firmware. How load the correct one. Then then the prompts in this video work.
I have a 2022 Mazda cx-5 and my wife has the 2017. I can get to the test screen but it doesn't enter JCI Test Mode once I've held down the DEL button for 20 seconds... Nothing happens...? Maybe a later version of software... Is there a way to work around this?
me too
Thank you so much! That was my biggest pet peeve about my new CX-5.
What do you press in the cx5??
Not working on firmware 70.0.021 NA. You can hold DEL all you want but there’s never a test code. I’m curious if there’s another code in the newer software. I want to get the updated usb cables and connector for Apple CarPlay and not being able to touch is a show stopper. Heck not being able to move favorites around even at 10 mph stinks!
I’m watching how to tweak a Mazda system even though I have a Toyota. I really need to get my brain examined 😂
Any advice for a 2020 CX-9?
It doesn't work at 2021 mx 5. Menu opens but "delete" button doesn't work. Do you know another way?
Skip the video and follow these instructions:
Press Favorite + Mute + Music and hold for 2 seconds
wait for the Test screen to pop up
Press Del for 20 seconds, until it says "JCI test mode"
type in "11" and hit Enter
Choose a script you would like to run,
Select Speed Toggle and disable.
press "Ok"
shut off the car, and new settings will take affect after the restart
it does not work on 2016 CX-9, the 11 code does not work
It does not work on the new ones.
Junk Name
It does not go into mode for 2018 CX-5
2018 Mazda3 GT doesnt seem to work either.
The delete button times itself out. :(
bless
Just what we need. More people fucking around with a touch screen while travelling at 70 mph and not paying attention to their driving. Brilliant! Well done!!
I deactivate it because it prevents passengers from doing anything too. It's bullshit
Other car companies don't do this, but you do have a point about drivers being attentive. That said, it's as if they don't consider the possibility of PASSENGERS. There's no reason a passenger shouldn't be able to use the touch screen. Mazda is over the top with this. It's annoying enough that we won't be buying another next time around...esp since this hack doesn't work on the 2020 CX5.
Totally get it and thought the same thing until after driving around my Mazda for 3 years- I spend way more time focusing on what I’m trying to click on with the weird, turn dial down by hip than I do when I can simply touch the screen. And many times, the turn dial requires 2-3 clicks and movements whereas the touch screen gets it done in one. Plus my eyes are up near my windshield and not down by my hip at the center console, which with where all of the buttons are. I firmly believe the touchscreen is way safer.
Thanks. Just bought a used 2014 Mazda 3 it still works.
Any update on how to do this with 2020-2021 with CarPlay?
Cant get it to work on my 2019 with Carplay
:(
Worked perfectly on my wifes 2016 NA CX-5. Thanks!
It works on my 2016 Mazda 3. Yay!! Thanks man! I appreciate your help.
How did you change the color? Using the utility on the website, or some menu option? I'd love rough to go blue or green!
2019 Mazda CX-3 ver 59NA did not work on holding the DEL 20 or more secs, can access the Test Screen only but not the JCI screen. I also tried update the software to a newer version from 59NA and it would not do that either.
Can you show us please how you changed the infotainment color to blue? Thank you!!
Works on 2016 CX-5 GX, GPS also works perfectly. Doesn't work on 2017 CX-5 GT, long press DEL on test screen doesn't bring up JCI test panel.
Does anyone know a way around this…my 2016 cx5 doesn’t work with the long press on the del button
@@katherinecress9282 I complained about this to the sales who sold me 2017 CX5 because there's a good chance passenger will use GPS rather than the driver. But he told me "as he knew", the company take this as a safety feature that the driver will never have a chance to reach out to the screen when car is moving, mostly for law sue consideration I assume. So the older models, when maintained in the dealer's shop, will be patched to close such "backdoor". However, I am not able to verify this information since I no longer have that 2016. I think you may check your software version to see when it's updated.
The same situation for 2018 M6 - JCI test mode doesn't spring up...
Does it stay enabled or do you have to do this every time?
@@dustonbohannan It stayed enabled.
Thanks a lot man. Its been so frustrating having to stop the car when trying to do something on the screen. Awesome!
thx so much it's 2021 and this video still helps a lot. Just done mine with no issues!
What’s your car?
could you please explain how ?
cuz i have a mazda 6 2021, & i cannot enter the JCI mode !! :(
@@sniiiiper If your firmware is 56.3xxxxx+, this trick won't work. If you have AA/CP, your firmware should be at least 70.xxxx +.
What is your car firmware?
It doesn’t work... I press 20 seconds DEL and it does anything :(
Same!
Same
Same on 2014 Mazda 3
Same on 2020 Mazda CX5
Is there anything that can be done if it doesn’t work?
Just found out about this. Worked fine on my '16 MX-5 Miata (without navigation). Difficult to understand due to poor audio, but figured it out after repeated viewing. Particularly helpful because access to and use of the darned Commander controls is pretty much impossible in the Miata. Thanks mucho.
For starters I’m glad it worked for you, now if you want to change the color theme go to mazda3revolution.com and on search bar type all in one tweaks read the whole thing so you can understand and download the program, that will allow you to do several cool things to your Miata. ALSO DO NOT ADD CARPLAY TO YOUR CAR OR IT WILL CHANGE YOUR FIRMWARE TO ONE THAT NOTHING WILL WORK NOT EVEN THE TWEAKS.
If you download all in one tweaks make sure you use a windows computer
@@ReviewingTech101 did this tweak on my 2016 Mazda 6 over 5 years ago. Even with firmware updates from the dealer; my touchscreen still works with Apple CarPlay while driving.
@@genekulesza5593 😳 I’m jealous 😂🤣 it completely stopped working on my car, it got rid of the blue accents and everything else I try to do it now and it won’t show me the other menu. I’m glad it’s working for you what firmware version do you have?
Is your miata an mx-5 ND?
works great..I wish we could change other items this easy.
Works perfectly on my 2016 Mazda 6 as shown. Thanks much!
Do you have Apple CarPlay/Android auto updated or original infotainment system?
Depends on your fw, do serial access apply id7 or id7v2 and then install touch enabled tweak ua-cam.com/video/PXbKVaOJ0tM/v-deo.html
I tried this on a 2015 Mazda 6 but the test menu never came up after long pressing DEL 🥺
Same 💔
Me too on my 2018 Mazda6
Same here
Same miata 2019
نفس الشئ بالنسبه mazda cx9 2018
How do I do this for version 74.00.324 NA N? Holding DEL for 20 seconds doesn’t do anything for me.
This trick no longer works unless you are running a very old fireware version (see the date of the video). If you have AA/CP, it will not work.
@@fidevlog what is AA/CP?
@@christyc4846 Android Auto and CarPlay
@@fidevlogI’m running 31.00.100 and it doesn’t work for me either
Confirmation, for anyone interested,... this does NOT work on US/CANADA version 59.00.450 NA N. You won't be able to get into JCI Test mode.
FLjock01 so what do we do to enable touch screen while driving?
Suzanne Taylor did you find an answer? I want to know too
Worked perfectly on my '16 CX-5
I have a 2016 Mazda 3. I tried the screen and hold for 20 sec and nothing pop up. What to do
Do you know how to turn off the touch screen completely?
I have the problem that in the heat of the sun it goes crazy when stationary
Hello, it doesnt work in 2018 Mazda 6 with version 70+
I am holding del button for 20 seconds but nothing happens?
Do you have any other trick because i would really like to use touchscreen while driving
Works on 2016.5 CX-5 GT. Awesome! Thanks!
How? I can’t get it to work on mine
I can’t make this work for my 2018 cx5. Holding down del doesn’t work. Any tips?? I want this feature off 😭😭
These days every faking car has a touch screen but only Mazda idiots will do everything they can to make your life harder.
@@sakal88 It doesn’t work on my wife’s 2020 CX5 either.
It worked on my 2015 Mazda 3 GS with no issues. Thanks!
I own a 2020 Mazda 6 and when I press DEL for 20 sec, 'JCI Test Mode' doesn't reflect on the screen. Please help!
Hello! I can access the menu on my 2015 cx3, but the code 11 is "invalid". Anyone has this issue and a solution? Like a code that works?
Works on my 2016 CX3 ! Thanks !
Dosen't work on my 2016 maxfa 6 grand touring 🙄
Tried it, and it didn't work on my Mazda 3 2014 using 56.0.0.513
pressing DEL for 20 seconds didn't do anything...

Works on my 2015 Mazda 3 2.0. Thanks!
Won’t work on my Mazda 6, think it’s got the latest firmware possibly
Hi, can you disable the touch screen altogether. To eliminate the touch screen issues.
JCI doesnt activate after pressing the “DEL” button for 20 seconds, any soluzion?
on mazda 2 2019
if anyone can help, on my 2020 Miata, the DEL press for 20 secs. does nothing for my screen. what can I do?
Same :(
Any solution for cx-5 2016 with fw 70+ and AA module installed?
Any other suggestions doesn’t seem to work on my 65 Mazda 2?
This method doesn’t appear to work anymore - is there an alternate method? I find not having the touch screen is actually less safe and certainly less convenient.
What make and model?
I got 2022 nd2 and just tried 30 mins ago with this guide and the step of the 20 secs del bottom its not working unfortunately ..
It seems to not work with my 2017 as well, hold on for 20+ seconds, but nothing comes up
This doesn't work for my 16 Mazda 3 with android auto upgrade.
@@2022908 I found an answer on Reddit: this only works if your system hasn't been changed. Once you get an upgrade like Apple Car Play, the system is locked and you're stuck.
I enabled touchscreen when I got my car a couple years ago.... and I've never touched the screen since!
how?
@@kmedado it's a Linux system. Boot script on a flash drive gets run on restart. These mods are explained in mazda revolution forum
@@Gruuvin1 i wonder if i could ask the dealership to do it when i pick up my 2021 mazda 6?
@@kmedado no. This is definitely a hack the dealers wouldn't support. My mazda is a 2017, and later software revisions made it much more difficult to do these hacks. The user forums would be your only resource.
@@Gruuvin1 thanks for the respond. i think i'd be too nervous doing it myself.
I had Mazda install Carplay on my 2015 a week ago and I'm unable to access my full music playlist while driving. Will this fix that issue?
No i did the same with my car installed the CarPlay usb module and wires and it doesn’t let me do that anymore
@@ReviewingTech101 It's so annoying! Will Mazda AIO Tweaks (the touch-screen install) fix the issue? Or is there no hack/fix at all?
@@BretSnyderMusic i know I messed mine up really bad with this, the blue accents are gone, I had a gps with Speedo on the screen gone too 🤦🏽
What do the other toggles do? This was really easy! Thanks for posting this.
DO NOT MESS WITH THE OTHER TOGGLES, its a warning if you do you'll disable you screen and touch screen and it will go completely black.

Does this work for the 2022
How do you get the CarPlay to work CX-9 when you drive down the road? The touch screen will not work!
Will this method work on Mazda mx5 2016
Good afternoon, I apologize I have the version of 59.00.573 NA N. and in Test Screen I give DEL for 20 seconds and it does not do anything. What I can do? Could you help me.
Any help?
Nothing
My screen is stuck on the home screen. When I try to go to other selections, it immediately jumps back to the home screen.
Is there anything that I can do to fix it?
It doesn’t works on my Mazda 3 with firmware 70, does anyone know if there is a way for enable the touch while driving
Hi i have mazda 3 2017 the sports mode keeps flashing 3 times when i turn it on but does not turn on.
What can i do
Has anyone found out how to do this on the new 2017 cx 5 and how to activate the WLAN by chance can't find anywhere online with the info.
Bump. Wondering the same
I got 2016 mazda miata and touch screen doesn't work, went into test screen and try to get to delete with rotary won't let me. I can't type in 11 either. Scrolled through and there is no 11.
Couldn’t get it to work. Will it stuff my apple car play up that I just had put in?
Thanks
Worked on my 2016.5 cx5 but iamguessingwaste of time to try on 2018 mx5?
So should this work on my 2017 mazda 3 sport still? When i try the holding DEL for 20 sec part nothing happens
Also how did he change color? I can't even find that lol
And anyone else with cloth seats thing the bottom is crazy uncomfortable? Like there's a hard plate I can feel on my butt bone if I slide an inch or 2 forward in the seat, seems like a terrible design to me
how did you get it to be blue on the menu selection. is that standard with your model. mines red and im so tired of it lol
does this mean that you can switch bluetooth while driving as well?
Also how you switch color?
does itw work on mazda 6 2023 ??
Thank you very much! Works on MX-5 56.00.100!
is there a way on the newest v7000021? :(
Will this and your scripts on mazdatweaks work on newer Mazdas but running on the same firmware as yours?
Not sure, but by the looks of it I’ll probably downgrade my firmware to older version. Just need to make the time to do it.
Does this work if you have apple carplay in your Mazda?
hi do you have the video to unleash the "door lock funtion" when car driving off thanks mate!
I tried doing the same w/ a 2020 CX9. It did not work. After holding for 20 secs. It does not go into IU test mode.. can you help?

Great video but how can I unable my touch screen 2017 cx 5
Hello, I really need your help..
Yesterday I went to play in the car test panel to remove the speed sensor to have access to my screen when I drive. Except that I think I caught something else during the process and since last night, my screen no longer turns on..
I tried all the button combinations for all types of resets with the car on and off and I also tried removing the SD card and putting it back in
I know the Nav system is not broken, I just need a solution on how to force it to do a factory reset
I have a video showing how the screen goes completely black and if you rest all settings make sure there’s sun light on the screen so you’re able to see and select the options on the menu.
It’s called how to return to factory settings
I just discovered with my 2018 mazda3 if you press those 3 buttons and spin the toggle it will go thru a bunch of settings for the car. Can't tell which one is for touch screen
Did you ever figure out what to do
Any luck?
@@Thebluexbutton no it didn't work :(

My 2016 Mazda 6 has never been updated with infotainment and I can't get this to work
How is yours blue icons can that be changed ?
it does not work on 2016 CX-9, the 11 code does not work
When i go to the test screen, I’m not able to press any buttons, when I’m in the main menu of the infotainment doesn’t matter if I’m parked or moving…touchscreen doesn’t work anymore. I upgraded the usb hub for carplay along with v70 software…along with a file to be able to tweak in the future, that’s how i was able to get all my abarth/fiat branding back, all works, i can still tweak with AIO, only problem is touchscreen. I reckon maybe the new usb hub doesn’t allow it
That is correct same thing happened to my car, the new firmware and the usb hub doesn’t allow for touchscreen while driving, I even lost the blue accents I had on the video it’s all red now.
@@ReviewingTech101 Hope Mazda ditches this stupid set up in the future. Every other car I've driven with touchscreen works while driving.
This doesn't seem to work with the new firmware needed for the Apple Carplay / Android Auto installation. The 20-second DEL key step doesn't work. Any updates?
With the newest firmware they've eliminated that menu so it won't work.
I have the newest firmware 74.00.311b will it work ?
It doesn't work for me when I press the DEL for 20 seconds, it does nothing... any ideas?
This trick no longer works unless you are running a very old fireware version (see the date of the video). If you have AA/CP, it will not work.
Can you help with Mazda 2022 CX9, please
did it work?

It won’t work, your car has a more recent firmware Mazda eliminated that menu.

DUDE!!!! Thank you!!!!!! Omg!!!! All the tweaking stuff seems daunting.

There is another way to enable the touch on a Mazda CX-3 2016 but with the firmware update ???
Can see or hear the button combination can anyone tell be d we hat buttons need to be press to get to the screen
Unfortunately, I was updated to version 59.00.441 before I found this video. I was able to get to the screen but "11" doesn't work. Has anyone identified the new code? I absolutely hate this "safety" feature!
I hate it also, did you find a solution?
@@shay0056 no, I got rid of the car in 2019
Hi, this works on Mazda 3 whit a firmware 70.00.367 ? I try but don’t work
I did this trick on software v33, then updated to latest a few days later for CarPlay. I can no longer access JCI test mode but the speed limiter setting carried over. Now I have CarPlay and touch while driving. I’ve never used any tweaks. Hopefully someone else can reproduce this.
I'm also in this boat. Does anyone have a "hack" for newer versions 70 and above.
Super late reply, but I just ran into this problem. I think downgrading the software to v33, then disabling the touch, and then upgrading back to v70 might work.
I’ll try this and let you know if it works, if you still care.
