Thank you, James. I just installed the same product in our 2022 Mazda CX-30 and we’re delighted with it! I also appreciate your passion for cars and willingness to share your knowledge and help others. Please take care. - Jeff
The factory wireless CarPlay in my ‘22 ND2 is great, but the battery drain on the phone is more than expected. I plug in the cable for drives over half an hour.
Are yiu planning on making anymore CX-30 updates on your car performance? Your videos helped me decide on my first car and looking forward to it thanks to you!
@@JamesPlaysWithCars Hi James, is your cx30 non turbo? I just got CX-5 non turbo loaner for few days and I'm impressed. Assuming the higher HP and less weight of cx30 how are you liking that drivetrain so far ? Really love CX-5 but exterior and interior feels a bit outdated compared to CX lineups. Finally has torsion beam suspension been an issue for you at all? I'm curious since you're coming from some great enthusiasts car in past.
I have this in my GTI, there are settings you can adjust to eliminate the stutter and input latency. Change frame rate to 20-25, change audio quality to CD. I found these settings to be the sweet spot between latency and usability. (Try setting frame rate to 1, it’ll be a slide show but there will be virtually no latency).
ProClip sells amazing quality mounts that are custom for each car model and each phone model. They are expensive but genuinely a step above the rest in quality and custom fit. I just ordered a mount + phone holder pair for myself.
I love your videos! I got a mazda cx-30 gt (In Canada) last week and Im very happy! Just got one quick question, how do you take care of the leather in the vehicle? Thanks again!
I bought the Cplay2air adapter and it works well. I work from home and get paranoid that my battery will die so I unplug the adapter each time a get out. 😢
Hey James!! You seem to be the Cx-30 pro. I have the basic 8 speaker system. It’s weak and I want a sub but don’t want to mess the interior up. Any suggestions?
I find rearward visibility to be just fine if mirrors are set properly. The only visibility issue I’ve had is the wing mirror & A pillar combination-could miss pedestrians at crosswalks if you’re not careful.
Oof. Thanks for letting me know! I have a little control over how the ads show, and I’ll see what I can do to make it less intrusive. Glad you found the info helpful!

Thanks for your kind words, Jeff. Enjoy your CX-30!
Love these CX-30 accessory and addition videos! Just bought one largely in part due to your reviews. Can't wait for more content!
Thank you for your honest thoughts!
Great video. You've covered the upsides and downsides of the adaptor very well.
I didn’t know these were available, this is so helpful!

Thanks for posting a video on this James, I’ve been itching to go wireless on my CX-30 as well. This will likely put me over the edge✌️
amazing in depth review thank you

Yep! We are getting close to 25k mi. I’ll make an update at that time. Glad to be helpful!

James. You do a great job. You should have way more subs. Wanted to say thanks
Definitely always have a stand-alone charge option, especially one that can quick charge!

Interesting-mine doesn’t present these options. Good to know, in case others have adapters with those options!
Thank you for the helpful review.
Do you have any recommendations on phone mounts for this car? It's been so hard finding one 😂

Thanks Khristian! I just wipe the seats down with water every couple months. That’s it 😊
Can you do a review on OEM wireless charger that fits in the center console?

What about magic box?
OPT FOR CARLINKIT 4.0 OR 5.0 NO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ADAPTOR
Hey how poor the rear view visibility is with cx30 I have booked one and confused about the visibility problem in CX 30
I find rearward visibility to be just fine if mirrors are set properly. The only visibility issue I’ve had is the wing mirror & A pillar combination-could miss pedestrians at crosswalks if you’re not careful.
@@JamesPlaysWithCars Thanks looking forward for my new car
Why didn’t you add a link to the device that you bought on Amazon for those of us that don’t know what this thingy even is? 😂
The amount of ads on here for me was outrageous WOW! Thanks for the info tho…
