Bud, your laughing at the name "fat32"? Its File Allocation Table (FAT) and its 32 bits. The fact that you don't even know what this is tells me you should not even been screwing around with your system. You can unbrick the system if you do some research and educate your self with low level Linux stuff!!!
It's just a little light reading on low-level linux haha. I know the basics of linux, but getting serial access to install Mazda AIO tweaks was certainly something new to me. If I ever want to update to the newest Mazda firmware, I have to acquire root access again and only have one chance to do it.
Did this recently and mine needed two updates. Everything went smooth as long as you take your time and follow the most recently updated instructions word for word. (2 year update: still working perfectly 😂)
I followed the instructions in their entirety and had no issues. A year later and love having carplay. It needed two update packs, so be sure to check your version number and doc before just putting a flash drive in
"I know what im doing" apparently not lol. You can try serial connection behind the screen no soldering required into the unit just plugging in 4 pins and a ground
You must follow the OFFICIAL instructions EXACTLY and it works. This includes steps like opening and closing the driver's door, pressing the brake pedal etc.
@Infinite Possibilities It should be, but they have no incentive to do so. Programming those kinds of safeties would cost Mazda money in development time, and they don't want normal users servicing their own electronics to begin with. From their perspective, 1) owner pays dealership for update or 2) owner fucks it up and pays dealership even more money. Either way, manufacturer and dealership win. Right-to-repair laws could help with things like this, as we have more and more electronics in cars.
@@CaffeinePanda and then there are countries like mine, where if you import the car from the US our local Mazda dealership (it's only one company) does nothing for you and they refuse to even upgrade your firmware. So if I brick mine I won't even have the option to pay a lot of money to get it unbricked. I'll be genuinely and thoroughly SOL. Good thing UA-cam recommended this to me lol. Yes I'm scared now but I never thought you could literally brick your car, I thought that if you screwed up you just stated back from the beginning. Like, I can risk bricking my phone but my car? Not sure that's a risk I want to take especially when I wouldn't even have an expensive remedy available to me :(
I've updated this on my 3 and my wife's with no issues. Mine needed three updates since I was significantly behind. Hers only needed the most recent firmware update. If you follow the instructions, you'll have no issues.
100% skill issue, I have 0 experience with cars but just carefully followed the official printed instructions and video from that dude with the glasses who did this to his Miata and it went perfect. This is like not following a recipe and then calling the recipe crap just because you didn’t follow it correctly lmao
It's completely safe... Follow the instructions exactly (like you should follow any instructions). Also check the hash values of the file before using it to insure it's not corrupt. Just did mine yesterday and it works great! How he explained it he didn't follow the instructions at all? Of course it won't work!
Hi Anthony, I had the same problem as you. I went full panic then finally realized that the problem was that I forgot to plug in the cable on the top right. It got pushed back after I put my infotainment screen back in place and I just forgot. I made a stupid mistake and I had the same stress as you. Fortunately, I figured out my problem. Since then, I have updated my firmware and installed Android Auto / Apple Car Play. For anyone reading this, just triple check that you have reconnected all of the cables.
Last Resort: If you have a non responsive Mazda/MZD.. RESTORE ALL FACTORY SETTINGS - BLACK TOUCH-SCREEN : Use this option if something goes wrong during Firmware Updating and or you have an unresponsive black or blank touch-screen, this will NOT work if you already had any Hacks or non OEM Tweaks previously installed. Put car into Amber 'ACC' Light ON (Accessory Mode)Do Not Start Engine. Wait 30 seconds for Connect to settle as you can not see the touch-screen as it is blank or black. Perform these setting inputs *below precisely as you are flying blind.. IF you make an input error you must turn off ACC system and power down car See 5.4 below and do #1 to #3, and then repeat setting input process * again. *PRESS "Home Button" above Commander Knob ONCE. *TURN Silver Command Wheel 2 clicks to the Right. *PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE. *SLIDE-PUSH move Commander Knob 6 times to the Right. *TURN Silver Command Wheel 5 clicks to the Right. *PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE. *TURN Silver Command Wheel 1 click to the Right. *PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE. After awhile the loading of screen and MAZDA logo should occur. If Black Touch-Screen continues you will need your CMU hardware replaced. A normal system boots up automatically by itself when car is on ACC or started. The above Factory Reset can also be done via Touch-Screen if it is working OK (not black). Also recommend this Factory Reset IF you have Tweaks installed Before you install updated Version 59 or higher Firmware
sam Azz did you try it holding for 10 seconds if not. Try this 1. Tun on your engine, press “home” 2. Rotate knob 2 clicks to the right that will take you to “settings” blindly then press select. 3. Shift knob to the right (every shift with atleast 2 seconds intervals) 6 times “this will take you to system blindly again” then press select 4. Rotate knob 6 times to the right that will take you to “restore all factory settings” then press select 5. Rotate knob 1 to the right then press select Hope it will help you best of lock
The whole "you can't format a 64gig usb using fat32". "I know what I'm doing guy" had me dying! 🤣 I'm sorry for your misfortune but you do not have any idea what your doing. Hence why your unit was bricked.
Yeah, he probably needlessly created multiple partitions for this flash drive and that could confuse the retarded CMUs they put in these cars. That could've been the actual cause of the bricking
Nope. Did both firmware updates on my 2016 Mazda 6 today and it went smooth as butter. No unexpected issues, no system hangs. I took my time and followed the instructions to the T. After about an hour, my car is fully updated and working perfectly fine.
A word to the wise, young man: If you become discombobulated, try looking in your owners manual, because there, it would have guided you to a solution, one mentioned by others here already: restoration to original factory settings! Easy as pie, when you know where to look!
I'm not an expert but off the top of my head a factory reset won't reflash the original firmware on this system. It resets all user settings and will delete all data. But a firmware update is done at the actual root of these systems I think.
I just did this today and it worked perfectly. I had to actually do 3 different installs because I was on an older version. Everything worked fine, but I followed everything to the T. Probably should have told them what happened. They most likely would have just rolled it back to a previous install or factory reset it.
Jeez $1000, still wouldn’t you buy a head unit from a dealer / wreckers? The functionality of the camera and sensors are most likely fine, they just can’t communicate with the infotainment system anymore. Would of worked out cheaper?
If the screen is black and you can hear music just do a reset, mine was like that and could only go through pre-saved stations, found a guide on how to reset, did it and screen came back to life
Glad I tuned in for this lecture. I've owned a second gen cx9 since new and will not get that android or apple crap. I barely drive it but still would look nice with the apps. Your the second person that said a similar story! Thanks Man
Yeah, sometimes firmware updates can go wrong and cause a mess of problems. Don’t call it bricked, there is always a pretty complicated process to do a “flashback” and reset with the original firmware.
I just updated my Mazda to the latest. I downloaded the file and left my car running and it downloaded successfully. I got it from a Mazda technician that sold me the file
That worked on mine. It's not break, screen is just turned off. Go find out how to do a factory reset and it will come back on. I felt the same way to. It's on UA-cam for the fix. Good luck!
You clearly didn't follow the instructions. If you follow them exactly it's so incredibly easy. I did mine in my 16 CX5 a month ago and had zero issues.
I hope you hit 3 ,enter and clear and 2 enter and clear then hit exit leave car for 3 minutes before you did 99 to install update. I’ve fixed plenty of bricked items before, it’s not impossible, there is always away. You just just have to find it.
Lol sounds like you had the 59 FW and didn't install the IDW70 package. Mazda updated to the 59 FW because they were afraid of people making changes like you did. You can do a workaround on 59 FW but you need to hook a serial connection up in the back of the CMU and install an exploitation FIRST, then you can do what you want. 59 FW locked up the original 57 FW loopholes. I did the entire carplay conversion on my wife's Fiat Abarth 124 and it was fine when following the directions. No Mazda logos, nav works, carplay and Android auto work.
May be that was the issue that you enforced FAT32 on a 64 GB drive! I have never seen this in any CarPlay upgrade discussions on mazda247 on any other Mazda forum. The only thing unique you did was enforced FAT32 on your large drive. Would you mind telling the public how much you ended up paying to Mazda dealership to get this fixed (of course 5 years ago)?
It happened to me. You can fix it . If you had made a full copy of your system then reset the internal memory by wiping it manually then loaded that bitch up with the copied content. Lol
I had zero issues updating my 2017 Mazda CX-5 which I just got twice, just check the MD5 Hash of the update files you get and make sure they match precisely, ensure you use a Windows computer to flash format a 32GB flash drive from a reliable brand to FAT32 (Not NTFS), then hash check both the file you download and the file you copy to your USB to make sure it is precisely the same and has integrity. Then follow the instructions precisely on the official leaked installation manual for it. I was able to go from 59.0 or something like that (original firmware which is very old) to 70.0.x.x. to now 74.x.x the newest firmware and even install the CarPlay module. EDIT if you are on really old firmware I think 30-40 something you must update to 50 something first, I cant recall off the top of my head
You did it wrong... You need to follow some steps prior to the 99 menu option and also close doors and get at least 5 meters away from the car... You did it wrong buddy!!!
never go to the front desk, next time. chat with the mechanics if possible. they may have a fix. besides he is one out of a thousand that bricked there unit. ive dont this a couple of times and if you follow the direction to the t , you will be fine. i just updated my firmware to the last update. for the second time .
i tried to update mine but something happened and i have broke mine. Now screen is black and i just hear radio, that I can't tune. The car is starting ok, but infotainment ia gone
Hey dude. I just updated my Mazda 3 2014 BM from 59 to 70 with no issue. You probably failed at some step. I saw a workaround how to initiate reinstall with blank screen.

BLACK TOUCH-SCREEN : RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS (NO GUARANTEES) Use this option if something goes wrong during Firmware Updating and or you have an unresponsive black or blank touch-screen, this will not work if you already have Bricked the CMU. I SUGGEST YOU DO THE WALKWAY (Page 2) BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO FIX ANY ISSUES. IF you can hear radio still on this ‘may’ work. Put car into Amber 'ACC' Light ON (Accessory Mode)Do Not Start Engine. Wait 30 seconds for Connect to settle as you cannot see the touchscreen as it is blank or black. Perform these setting inputs *below precisely as you are flying blind.. IF you make an input error you must turn off ACC system and power down car SLEEP CMU below and do #1 to #3, and then repeat BLIND setting input process *again. *PRESS "Home Button" above Commander Knob ONCE. *TURN Silver Command Wheel 2 clicks to the Right. *PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE. *SLIDE-PUSH move Commander Knob 6 times to the Right. *TURN Silver Command Wheel 5 clicks to the Right. *PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE. *TURN Silver Command Wheel 1 click to the Right. *PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE. After a while the loading of screen and MAZDA logo should occur. If Black Touch-Screen continues you may need your CMU hardware repaired or replaced. A normal system boots up automatically by itself when car is on ACC or started. The above Factory Reset can also be done via Touch-Screen if it is working OK (not Black). Also recommend this Factory Reset IF you have other issues AFTER ANY Firmware UPDATE. HOW TO PUT CMU TO SLEEP FOR CACHE RESET. CAN ALSO WORK IF HAVE NAVIGATION NOT WORKING ISSUES, REMOVE ‘SD CARD’ AFTER ACC MODE OFF AND BEFORE YOU LOCK UP THE CAR FOR EXIT WALKAWAY. Put the CMU into a sleep condition this way….. 1. Roll up all windows, SHUT hood/bonnet and boot/trunk/hatch. 2. Set ACC Ignition OFF, exit car, SHUT and then LOCK all doors. 3. Walkaway over 5 metres with all Keys/Openers and wait for 6 minutes, after this period all stand-by info in cache is erased. 4. Return to and Enter car, first Install SD Card and THEN put Ignition to ACC mode and verify 'Invalid SD Card' has gone or your other issues are gone. 5. Be aware that sometimes your cars location can disrupt 'GPS Signal', like car is locked in steel garage, or next to tall building or overhead high-power lines, move car into open space
Did you try putting it on accessory and then taking the knob control knob and holding it in for 30 seconds I guess then turn the car off and See if that works and get you back your system

"everything went perfectly until I turned my car off top early". Bro to early is to early, doesn't matter if it's just a wee bit, it still got shit to do and you abrupted it. Firmware is literally the operating systems most fundamental instructions on how it should run, messing up the installation will ofc fuck it up.
Given that you said that you know or confident on what you are doing, it should have worked. However, its not working as you probably missed a step or two that totally corrupted your system.
good tip i downloaded the tweak to my car on a flash drive and i don't think i'm going to plug it in to my car because i' have the newest 70. firmware update. not worth messing up my 2018 car which is still covered for another 100k just to get android auto. i will keep using my phone for waze and google maps or the map that comes with car
If you have the 70.00.100 and higher firmware, it already supports AA. You just need to install the new USB ports / wires and AA / ACP will appear in the Apps section. You can buy the kit off Amazon for about $170. It was pretty simple to install in my Mazda 3. Only need a trim pry tool for a small piece on the dash and a socket wrench for one bolt. The center console area all pops apart easily.
Any chance you can get me the info on how to fix this. Happened to me also. I did my car no problem. Wife has the exact same car and ran into this black screen issue.
I dunno how you fucked this You can literally start the update and leave it run from 15 minutes 😅 I’ve never seen the firmware update brick it unless you somehow completely fucked up the absolute most basic task.
Same thing happened to me about a month ago but I never updated anything it just happened one day. After about 2 days my screen kept bootlooping and the next day it turned on while I was on the highway
I have 2016 mazda 6 gt and mine was doing similar thing as yours. My issue turned out to be a bad factory SD card. The dealership replaced it and haven't had an issue in a year so far.
I took your advice and got my 5 year old to upgrade mine. Went without a hitch.

I was able to go from 59.0 or something like that (original firmware which is very old) to 70.0.x.x. to now 74.x.x the newest firmware and even install the CarPlay module.
EDIT if you are on really old firmware I think 30-40 something you must update to 50 something first, I cant recall off the top of my head
Hi where can I find the files to perform the update, I have cx5 2018
see. 59.00.504 4A N
You did it wrong... You need to follow some steps prior to the 99 menu option and also close doors and get at least 5 meters away from the car... You did it wrong buddy!!!
Have you try to disconnect the battery and refresh? Just an idea
never go to the front desk, next time. chat with the mechanics if possible. they may have a fix. besides he is one out of a thousand that bricked there unit. ive dont this a couple of times and if you follow the direction to the t , you will be fine. i just updated my firmware to the last update. for the second time .
So, to recap:
DO NOT MOD YOUR MAZDA...
unless you're slightly more patient than an ADHD squirrel.
Follow the instructions and you’ll be okay
You gotta follow instructions to a T. I've done it twice no issues.
Where can i get it done for $60 at a dealership? The going price for Apple car play update is over $300 in Miami, Fl.
fat32 is 8tb max partition limit, no?
I did it no issue. Follow the steps exactly
Did u try to unplug it then plug it back in. That should work u don't know how tech works obviously never had issues with wifi
i tried to update mine but something happened and i have broke mine. Now screen is black and i just hear radio, that I can't tune. The car is starting ok, but infotainment ia gone
Did you fix this
Hey dude. I just updated my Mazda 3 2014 BM from 59 to 70 with no issue. You probably failed at some step. I saw a workaround how to initiate reinstall with blank screen.
" I had 75K miles and I ended up paying $200 to fix everything. Unfortunately a few months later my car was involved in a hit and run with a semi truck. Insurance totaled it and I lost my car..... " xLauant quote from 2020.
Can buy a new cmu if you want for cheaper if you replace it yourself. It is important to read the instructions properly so you dont brick it.
So I have a black screen now. How can I get it back to functioning? I was on 55
De la 55 qué versión instalaste que hizo tu pantalla negra brou
I've been having some issues with my Mazda Demio [Mazda 2 in US]. The stearing wheel's bottons stop working, the bluetooth sound stopped working [you can listen radio stations but can't listen sounds throught bluetooth [music, calls..] and my reverse camera stopped working too. Do you think updating my system would help me?? HELPPPP!!!
Sigh, Im sorry....Im not trying to be mean....but this is so stupid the fact that hes so slow....I made a mistake with the instructions and I just reset it....BAM!!
Can anyone provide a link to the file for Australia/Newzealand version.
Much appreciated.
bruh even 8 year olds can follow that instructions, I've done this update twice.
Almost positive if you disconnect your battery for 30 minutes and try it would work but yanno
It works if you follow the instructions. If it didn’t work, you didn’t follow the instructions, sorry.
What was the outcome dude? How much did it cost in the end to fix?
$1200 but I lucked out and Mazdas extended the warranty for the computer system.
@@xLauant Bloody hell! Yeah, you were lucky alright - think I'll go down the official route rather than risking this. Thanks for the heads up and reply dude
@@xLauant How many miles were on your car at the time? And what was this extension of warranty for the computer system?

BLACK TOUCH-SCREEN :
RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS (NO GUARANTEES)
Use this option if something goes wrong during Firmware Updating
and or you have an unresponsive black or blank touch-screen,
this will not work if you already have Bricked the CMU.
I SUGGEST YOU DO THE WALKWAY (Page 2) BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT
TO FIX ANY ISSUES.
IF you can hear radio still on this ‘may’ work.
Put car into Amber 'ACC' Light ON (Accessory Mode)Do Not
Start Engine.
Wait 30 seconds for Connect to settle as you cannot see the touchscreen as it is blank or black.
Perform these setting inputs *below precisely as you are
flying blind..
IF you make an input error you must turn off ACC system and
power down car SLEEP CMU below and do #1 to #3, and then
repeat BLIND setting input process *again.
*PRESS "Home Button" above Commander Knob ONCE.
*TURN Silver Command Wheel 2 clicks to the Right.
*PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE.
*SLIDE-PUSH move Commander Knob 6 times to the Right.
*TURN Silver Command Wheel 5 clicks to the Right.
*PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE.
*TURN Silver Command Wheel 1 click to the Right.
*PRESS Down on Commander Black Knob ONCE.
After a while the loading of screen and MAZDA logo should occur.
If Black Touch-Screen continues you may need your CMU
hardware repaired or replaced.
A normal system boots up automatically by itself when car is on
ACC or started.
The above Factory Reset can also be done via Touch-Screen if
it is working OK (not Black). Also recommend this Factory Reset IF
you have other issues AFTER ANY Firmware UPDATE.
HOW TO PUT CMU TO SLEEP FOR CACHE RESET.
CAN ALSO WORK IF HAVE NAVIGATION NOT WORKING
ISSUES, REMOVE ‘SD CARD’ AFTER ACC MODE OFF AND
BEFORE YOU LOCK UP THE CAR FOR EXIT WALKAWAY.
Put the CMU into a sleep condition this way…..
1. Roll up all windows, SHUT hood/bonnet and boot/trunk/hatch.
2. Set ACC Ignition OFF, exit car, SHUT and then LOCK all doors.
3. Walkaway over 5 metres with all Keys/Openers and wait for 6
minutes, after this period all stand-by info in cache is erased.
4. Return to and Enter car, first Install SD Card and THEN
put Ignition to ACC mode and verify 'Invalid SD Card' has gone or
your other issues are gone.
5. Be aware that sometimes your cars location can disrupt 'GPS
Signal', like car is locked in steel garage, or next to tall building or
overhead high-power lines, move car into open space
Its not work plz help me
Thanks so much I'll give this a try
@@xLauant Did it work :)?
@@xLauant Let me know if it worked for you. I might have a different solution for you :)
@@davemcdreamdavemcdream5040 Can you tell me the other solution?
Svp, J'ai besoin du nom de site internet pour télécharger la dernière version.
Did you try putting it on accessory and then taking the knob control knob and holding it in for 30 seconds I guess then turn the car off and See if that works and get you back your system

If you have a bricked CMU. There is hope to get it back. I've done it easy
Hoooow buddy
How did you do that?
"everything went perfectly until I turned my car off top early". Bro to early is to early, doesn't matter if it's just a wee bit, it still got shit to do and you abrupted it. Firmware is literally the operating systems most fundamental instructions on how it should run, messing up the installation will ofc fuck it up.
Given that you said that you know or confident on what you are doing, it should have worked. However, its not working as you probably missed a step or two that totally corrupted your system.
Turn the car up while you’re holding the master knob down and let go of it and turn the car back on
just don't be cheap and pay to get it done right.
good tip i downloaded the tweak to my car on a flash drive and i don't think i'm going to plug it in to my car because i' have the newest 70. firmware update. not worth messing up my 2018 car which is still covered for another 100k just to get android auto. i will keep using my phone for waze and google maps or the map that comes with car
If you have the 70.00.100 and higher firmware, it already supports AA. You just need to install the new USB ports / wires and AA / ACP will appear in the Apps section. You can buy the kit off Amazon for about $170. It was pretty simple to install in my Mazda 3. Only need a trim pry tool for a small piece on the dash and a socket wrench for one bolt. The center console area all pops apart easily.
I call Bullshit on the price because Mazda wants to charge me 169.00 and tax to update the firmware on my 2018 CX5 and that's a freaking ripoff
I has that problem, I manage to fix it, it's a little bit complicated but I fix it
Any chance you can get me the info on how to fix this. Happened to me also. I did my car no problem. Wife has the exact same car and ran into this black screen issue.
Lesson learned. Pay the money and get Mazda dealership to do it.😂😂
Worked fine for me.. just think before you do things🤯
Thank you, you saved me a headache from trying to upgrade myself.
Anyone who did this recently know where to get the firmware files?
Hi i have it. But I have the 70.x.x4A N
This is laughable. Follow the instructions. I just updated to 74. never done this before and worked perfectly.
OMG.... thanks for the advice.... this killed my guts for good
I dunno how you fucked this You can literally start the update and leave it run from 15 minutes 😅 I’ve never seen the firmware update brick it unless you somehow completely fucked up the absolute most basic task.
Thanks man I feel the same way!!!!
So what would the dealership charge us the connect it on our 2017.5 Mazda 6!??
Thanks! 😊
about $1200 give or take...
@@xLauant $1200?? Who told you that?
Bruh you didn’t fallow directions
i took it to the dealer for a oil change( free) and they updated it for free lol
Same thing happened to me about a month ago but I never updated anything it just happened one day. After about 2 days my screen kept bootlooping and the next day it turned on while I was on the highway
I have 2016 mazda 6 gt and mine was doing similar thing as yours. My issue turned out to be a bad factory SD card. The dealership replaced it and haven't had an issue in a year so far.
