Be Advised I will No Longer offer Any Support to Mazda Owners who Do Not obtain these Genuine Mazda Firmware Files from Me.
If you Download from YouTube or Other Links then Do Not ask for any help from me if or when it goes bad. Most of the other 'suppliers' do not offer any Support or include Full Instructions and or are issuing the wrong files for your Country or car.
I am simply not prepared to waste my time when some of you are impatient and or cannot wait for my reply(s).
Most PC Browsers (Google Chrome or MS Edge) offer Translation from a drop down, top far right.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY SMART PHONE TO DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE AND INSTALL OF FIRMWARE ONTO small USB FLASH DRIVE. ....ONLY USE A WINDOWS 11 PC - LAPTOP.
L00K: AS OF SEPT 2025 IN 95% OF UPDATES MOST OWNERS ONLY NEED THE ONE EASY UPDATE, THE OLD OUTDATED 70.00.100 IN 95% OF CASES IS NOT NEEDED* AND YOU ARE AT RISK BRICKING YOUR CMU (Mazda Connect) BY INSTALLING THIS 70.00.100 TWO FILE UPDATE...
STOP Installing ANY 70.00.100 Files Unless Instructed by me to do so.!
PLZ STOP READING OUT OF DATE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO.
PLS STOP INSTALLING OLD FILES WHICH ARE NOT EVEN NEEDED.
* Only used as a transition update on cars made before 2015 and Never been Updated Before.
ALERT: Please be aware that MAZDA ONLY Supports the WIRED Connected AUX Hub and Two Large USB Cables for Optional Carplay and or AndroidAuto Conversions.
GENUINE Mazda CP/AA Wireless is ONLY obtained by using an updated for ''Wireless CMU'' (the inside Dash Hardware) and the updated new AUX Hub.
MAZDA DOES NOT SELL or SUPPORT CP/AA WIRELESS VIA a ''Carplay Dongle'' only via more expensive "Wireless CMU".
These ''Carplay Dongles'' are not from Mazda nor can be considered a Genuine Mazda Part.
They are sold via Amazon, eBay etc, I would be careful about their longevity (or life span).
Personally I Only recommend the ORIGINAL CP/AA Update which requires the 2 Wired USB Cables and Updated AUX Hub or Box installation AFTER your 74.00.324A Firmware is working. The Latest and final 74.00.324A Mazda Firmware does work fine with these wireless Carplay Dongles, HOWEVER I recommend you ONLY use the Instruction I supply with all my Genuine Mazda Firmware as these other paperwork suppled is either old and outdated Firmware from a Google Link and instructions which is very vague.
NOTE: THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE CHARGING YOU FOR THESE UPDATES IN RUSSIA or UKRAINE, or on eBay or Amazon, I NEVER CHARGE YOU, YOU DO NOT PAY FOR NEW FILES, EVER
ALSO NOTE: YOU CAN NOT CHANGE or SWAP INFOTAINMENT SYSTEMS.
ALL EXPORT Mazda 2 USE the 6th GENERATION MAZDA CONNECT.
7th Gen MAZDA HOME SCREEN has the White Text on Black Screen.
6th Gen MAZDA HOME SCREEN has the Red Select Icons on Black Screen.
PLEASE NOTE: 74.00.324A IS NOW THE FINAL FIRMWARE as all Mazda Cars using this .up Firmware is OUT OF PRODUCTION and No Longer Installed in any New Mazda's made in 2024.
