sweet! i just did it too. to confirm, android auto needs the phone plugged in to work right? i wasnt able to use the android auto app on the car over bluetooth
At first, this didn't work for me. I watched the video again to see what I missed. Turns out I didn't drop my USB stick even once before opening/closing doors.
Has your car got an aux port? My car is Mazda 3 2014 and it has not AUX port. Is this android auto application will work in my car? Is it working with bluetooth?
I'm highly offended by that flashdrive treatment 😂 but this should work in all Mazdas till they make it standard probably later this summer if they haven't already. Great vid dude.
Hi from Spain and thanks for the video and explanations. I have just bought my new mazda cx5 with 59.00.504 as OS version of mazda connect . is there any way to install the AA in my device without changing nothing in the cables?? I mean, is there any chance to avoid the usb limitation of this mazda connect version?? Thanks a lot.
Seriously, what is wrong with Mazda??? Why can't they release AA and CarPlay to Mazda owners who has been anxious to get this in their cars? They know their own system is not ideal at all. We have to revert to generous and helpful people like this guy to McGyver our car. Very annoyed Mazda is not saying anything.
IMO, Mazda Connect is better than AA and Carplay. The only thing I like better about AA is the fact you can use Google Maps instead of buying a NAV chip
My 2016 Mazda CX-5 has nav and its messed up. It loses track of the current location all the time. I've had it to the dealer six times so far and it's still doesn't work right. I'm taking it back next week for another attempt at a fix and if that doesn't work I may be installing this. Complete BS.
No way this can be this easy!!! Can it? I have a 2015 3 Hatchback iTouring, this should work just as easy? And if this the original Android Auto or some modified version made for carhacks? And loved that USB POV video to the car....epic.
Will this work on my go cart? Can I download the files onto my kettle, as I don't have a PC? If I bought a 1953 Toyota could I get it to work? Please explain how an apple might work - do I eat it raw or cook it? Have you always had problems with doors? And cameras? And holding a USB stick? Have you considered treatment? Have I now exhausted the list of stupid questions? No, I haven't (see below).
The app seems to install, and starts up. My phone also seems to indicate that Android Auto is detected. But the Mazda screen just doesn't progres and gives what looks like some standard output logs.
+mytechliving The rest of the CMU is fine. I can go back to the main menu and use the rest of the apps. It's Android Auto which fails to load. Do I need to install anything on my phone? The last lines of the "error trace" say: hu_app_recv_process() iret: -1 Error in read... END END
+mytechliving Could be. I'm on a Nexus 4 (so quite old), with Marshmallow - which I flashed myself since it's not supported for the model. But I also noticed Android Auto is not available in all countries, so that might be a readon why. Malta wasn't on the list.
I have a 2019 Sport CX5. Does this mean I don't have to change the USB port and the wirings? I could just install this and i can use android auto right away?
Is there no physical installation needed? I have an appointment for next week at the mazda dealership to get this updated. They said it takes 2-3 hours and will cost 400 bucks. Also...mine is a 2014 Mazda3. What year is the car in the video?
Hey man, thanks for the tutorial. After install,its was working fine.. for some reason i just factory reset my car .. now its showing only mazda logo .. how to reset to stock? please help
the knobs and physical buttons don't work anymore for some reason, only the volume knob. i can only control my infotainment system through the touchscreen. did i do something wrong?
please help. I've followed your video step by step. pull the USB out. it rebooted and now the screen is stuck of the mazda emblem. what would I have to do?
Hello Friend, I installed the program today and it worked perfectly for me, after a short time the entertainment screen of the Mazda 3 does not work, it got stuck, it does not allow you to do anything or select any option.
can i install this on a 2016 cx9 and do u sell the thumbdrive pre installed??iam not a tech person at all thanks also does it show google satelite option on the nav also or no???
I did the installation (in CX-5 2016) of the 2 .zip in the link ("AndroidAuto_v0.91B" and "AndroidAuto_ButtonPatch") and I had 2 issues... 1. A small yellow box with some letters and numbers displayed on the bottom right of the screen of my car, from the time I turn it on, (I mean that even when not running AndroidAuto App) 2. No sound. If I play music for example spotify, not heard anything turning up the volume with physical volume car button) Or if I use navigation, you hear no indication.
Got this working, looking good.. but... how about the audio, how do you get the normal radio to shut up and let the AA audio take over? Only way I have found out how to get AA Audio to be heard, is to put in USB drive also with mp3 audio, and pause the playback there.. but kind of silly way, any other better way of doing this?
hello, mytechliving . He was investigating how to install Android Auto and reach your video. But I have a question , I have a Mazda 3 Model 2015 and would like to know whether the installation and operation is the same. Thank you
i managed to install it to my 2016 CX5! does it only work with usb connected? not bluetooth? and i have an issue where AA doesnt have any sound, everytime phone is connected and AA is running, i only get the audio from radio, and i cant change that. any advice?
mytechliving thank you very much bro! ver0.94 has an issue, everytime i open the AA with my phone connected, both left and right side of my mazda screen will have a scrambled color. i have to close it, and re open again.
Hello, I installed everything like on the video but some odd reason i theres no audio when connected to android auto, navigation works but no audio same with media player. Whats the fix?
If I have a nexus 6p fully updated with the latest Android auto will this work? I tried and got the Android auto installed on the car. But when I run with my phone connected, I get an error on the application in my phone that the car doesn't satisfy security features or something.
Mazda 3 2015 cmu 59.00.441 installer went through and head unit rebooted but android auto did not show up in the app list. Not sure if I should be worried or attempt an Uninstall.
i should uninstall even if it doesnt show up, i also tried to install from the AIO-TI v2.3.2 same thing. i will run the uninstaller just to be safe i suppose.
hello ... I will receive my new mazda 3 in 5 days, the 2017 version normally! Is it working on this model? (I do not know the version of the system yet)
In my 2017 Mazda 6 Android Auto only did work the first startup after that it dit crash and nothing dit workt anymore , i had to turn the car of and disconect the smartphone. after i uninstalt android auto the rest of the tweeks workt.
Yes, but I talke may car to mazda deailer, they reviee the car and say to me that the cmu needs to be replaced. They chanced by warranty and its wprking again.
Mazda OS version is 55.00.753 NA N. However, my phone's google play service's version is 9.2.56. So, even if everything installed correctly, i still woulnd't be able to use this, is that so?
Not so good, not so bad. The interface looks great and functions are really good, but... it's laggy (yes, I have a mid-range smartphone) and once youre ride starts the touch screen get locked (and useless) and need to control all the functions from the smartphone.
I tried to install AA on my Mazda Cx5. It seemed to work but AA didn't start when i pressed it... The biggest problem i got is that my NAV isn't working anymore! How can i deinstall AA or what else could i do? Thanks for ur answer love ur vids
+Simon Fussi Okay thanks. I think I'll just wait to test the waters until a more stable version is out. I'd hate to loose any of the functionality mazda has already given us.
Hi bro , can you make tutorial how to screen mirroring android phone to mazda connect ? i already tried install cast screen , but nothing happened . i used samsung s7 edge with os 6.0.1 . please help
As of 30 minutes ago, the 2017 Mazda 3 I bought today is rocking Android Auto. Thank you for this video!

So, did it, finally, work?
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA :D
Hahahaha u cracked me up bro
I was waiting for somebody to make a tutorial. Thanks alot. Good video will try once I get home.
wow it runs so smoothly...if I ever buy a mazda I'll try it out...the thing I love most about android stuff is you can manually tweak them
Hey man, amazing and enjoyable video, keep up with the tutorials. The Mazda Team is growing every day and we need more people like you!
the scene where you take the USB stick to the car quite funny :) thanks, really appreciate it
Thanks so much man! works perfectly. I installed it on...

Does it work

Mazda is working on adding android Apple play soon, this guy made it look easy so I think Mazda can do this.
Seriously, what is wrong with Mazda??? Why can't they release AA and CarPlay to Mazda owners who has been anxious to get this in their cars? They know their own system is not ideal at all. We have to revert to generous and helpful people like this guy to McGyver our car. Very annoyed Mazda is not saying anything.
And it is not in the 2017 cars neither. Shame on them.

Alex L. in my country, they are gonna release a SD card with Android auto in a couple months.

So, we all know MacGyver then...
I have a mazda 323, 1998. This is not working for me. Can you help? The screen is not coming up...also the usb port is not there 🤔
Hooray for people that still buy manual transmissions! I am having to drive 5 hours on Friday to buy a Mazda3 s GT hatch. Craziness.
I've been told by Mazda that updating the software is not enough, that the USB port needs to be replaced for a more powerful one, true?
@@PatrickLipp I'm going to buy a brand new 2019 Mazda CX-3. Will I be able to install AA on it?
@@PatrickLipp yeah, yet they quote 400 bucks, what a rip off :)
Love that you have Emery playing
Hello, I wonder where did you download the android auto files
Does installing android auto replace the standard infotainment system or is it only active when you connect with your phone?
great close up of the usb stick , looked scary going out the door, I wasent sure what was going to happen next...
Can someone put up the link of where to download the software
Thanks for the video 😊
Great video, really helpful and entertaining. How many times did you drop that thing? Hope your finger healed! :-)
Which warranty would this break?
Where download android auto install files?
Hi. Thanks for a very informative video. will this work in a mazda 2 2018 model as well?
Hi there ! Where’s the link for android auto thing you downloaded to The thumb drive? Trying to it on my CX-5 2016
Great choice of music with Emery!
No way this can be this easy!!! Can it? I have a 2015 3 Hatchback iTouring, this should work just as easy? And if this the original Android Auto or some modified version made for carhacks?
And loved that USB POV video to the car....epic.
can u do a rollback to stock video?
Where can I download the files? What are the main point I should keep on mind in order to avoid brick my car
hey will this work with 2016 mazda 6?
Will this work on my go cart? Can I download the files onto my kettle, as I don't have a PC? If I bought a 1953 Toyota could I get it to work?

Please help me what should I do, how can I restore the original operating system or solve the problem and make it work well.
Thanks for sharing this. Quick question, Can you erase it so the warranty is not voided?
how does it use google maps? does it have to be connected to wifi or something? also could you use something like waze instead?
I have a 2019 Sport CX5. Does this mean I don't have to change the USB port and the wirings? I could just install this and i can use android auto right away?

What is "some reason"?
Why am I only seeing your comment 7 years later??
the knobs and physical buttons don't work anymore for some reason, only the volume knob. i can only control my infotainment system through the touchscreen. did i do something wrong?
Would this work on a late 2017 CX 5 ?? The display is the one sat on the top the dashboard squeezed into the dash 😀
i would like to know too. Have you completed installation yet?
please help. I've followed your video step by step. pull the USB out. it rebooted and now the screen is stuck of the mazda emblem. what would I have to do?
Hey. My touchscreen doesn't want to change after reboot. The logo stays on and I can't do anything. What can I do???
did you figured out?
+thereleast argon no not at all. Had to take my car to Mazda. They had to change tho whole unit, because they couldn't do anything. Compelety frozen 😕

Yes Bluetooth on phone and car are both turned off, and im still unable to hear any audio, even when i press the voice command there's no audio
I'll give that a try
That fixed the problem, thank you
i have installed the .93 versio and it launches but it doesnt sound i mean it keeps FM as main audio do you know how to switch it to spotify?

Does WAZE and Google map then works on the display, as well as on the HUD ? And if so, does the phone can utilize the car's GSM/GPS antenna ?
1, How do you know it use phones GSM/GPS antenna instead of cars antenna ?
2, Can the HUD display show Google maps turn on turn navigation ?
