How To Update Mazda Connect Firmware (70.00.335C Echo Fix Firmware)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- So if you need to update your Mazda Connect firmware for your Mazda Miata and other Mazda connect vehicles this video shows you how to do that process. In this video, I update my Miata from firmware 70.00.100 to firmware version 70.00.335C "Echo Fix" update. This update is a single file & doesn't require a fail-safe file like older firmwares.
This is for model years from 2014 to today which covers MAZDA 2, MAZDA 3, MAZDA 6, MAZDA CX-3, CX-5, CX-8, CX-9 and MX-5/Miata/RF. This will not include the 2019 Mazda 3 (BP) or 2020 Mazda CX-30 (DM)!!!

4 years ago and this video is STILL helping people out! Thanks Bryce! This was a huge help updating the infotainment system in my CX-5. Really appreciate all the effort you put into this. Seeing as over 200K people have viewed this I think it's safe to say you really helped out a ton of people posting this. Appreciate it!! 🙏
I double this sentiment! Used the files and followed the steps. Worked flawlessly!
@@baiken67I just ordered my Apple car play and I need to update my firmware on my 2014 Mazda 3 so it works right ? All I need is that new firmware on a usb
@@yvngbruhh Do you need to unplug the battery when installing the kit or doesn't matter?
@@winterMB91I don’t think it matters I haven’t installed it yet because I need to do a firmware update first and I have the files and everything but I can’t get my screen to work with the touchscreen do you have any tips on how I can the firmware update without using touch screen or is that the only way ?
@@yvngbruhh I updated yesterday Mazda 3 GS skyactive 2017 but touch screen was working i don't know why ur is not working the knobs control also not working?sorry man let me know if you can install the kit.
There's a video on RUclips guy showing how to enable touch screen
Bryce Thomas, you magnificent dude! I spent the better part of an evening researching this, and then I found you, and your hosted Google Drive. 4 years later, you thoroughly helped me. Following your walkthrough, I got my system upgraded in maybe 30 minutes. Sir, Thank you. You made my world a better place this morning.
June 1st (2024) still working
OMG my heart almost about to Stop when started to prepare for updating the screen completely went black i set one minutes inside didn't show anything then come to my room search on Google its said its okay to go black so after 20 minutes I went to check it was about 95%😅 and at the end was showing to turn off and on the Acc to take the change effect i just turned the fan to high then pressed the ignition once after 2 seconds again and off back after 3 minutes everything was done 👍👍👍
On Mazda 3 GS skyactive 2017
Confirmed worked in Sept 2024 on a 2016.5 CX-5 updating directly from 59.00.441 to 70.00.335
Thanks Bryce!
Managed to update my software from 56 Japan version to 70 NA in my 2016 Mazda CX3 which I imported from Japan. The Japan version did not have an option to change the language to English but this version is already in English. Thanks for the help and support
Would you be able to help me out?
Didn't even watch the video, but dropped a thumbs up and want to say thank you for the file links. They're impossible to find on forums these days.
You da MVP
Ehhhh I just did a cx50 from the forms info🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
What an absolutely perfect demonstration. Thank you for making such a thorough and detailed video. I really appreciate the links to the software too. For all those having issues with their USB being detected, make sure your USB is Fat32 formatted. Even if your USB drive is larger than 32GB, you can do this through power shell.
USB Fat32 2.0, any 3.0 isn’t going to be recognized
i have problems with my usb 64gb how i do through power shell
Does this give you Apple CarPlay if u don’t have it already does this update give you Apple CarPlay?
@@vincentcastaneda8500no it’s an update to be able to install Apple CarPlay
@@roidprosm5504 I have Mazda 3 2015 , is there HW part needed to run Android auto or just the SW upgrade ?
Just updated from 59.x.x. Thank you very much.
I used a Mac to prepare the USB (I did it before with other firmware upgrades too), for anyone who doesn't have a Windows PC at hand on Mac do:
1. format the USB drive as FAT with MBR;
2. copy the firmware file to the drive;
3. open the console and switch to the USB drive mount with `cd /Volumes/
Thanks Bryce - This worked great - I now have Apple Car Play in my 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 - I wish I knew this was a thing years ago.
This was one of the most complete and helpful DIYs I've encountered. I was able to use the files provided in the comments (still active on Google Docs in July 2022!) and follow his helpful method and notes. Everything went just as he said, including the brief moment once complete when the navigation took a while to properly GPS locate the car again, which just took a short trip around the block. I can now upgrade my 2018 CX-9 with a Carplay hub having the upgraded firmware.
Great instructions… Worked perfectly. Had some issues because I had a 128GB Drive and it had exFat format. In that case I had to delete the volume, create a new volume with 32GB and then format with FAT32. After that everything went smoothly.
Thanks for this video man!
Worked perfectly to update from 55.00...thanks for the detailed instructions and walkthrough!
Successfully upgraded 2017 cx-9 from version 59 to 70.00.335 following these instructions/with google drive file. Thanks so much!!!
Your video was super thorough and I appreciate all the work that you put in. You didn't have to, but you made an awesome tutorial and I'm sincerely grateful!
👍 to you Bryce Thomas, you are magnificent. I am from Zimbabwe and l never thought l would be able to update my car radio software with so much ease. It took me less than 30 mins. I was fed up with the Japanese language I could not understand. Thank you so much once again.
Wow! Thank you! I was so nervous about updating, and your instructions were so clear and easy! Thank you so much!
I can’t believe I just found this video after years of wanting CarPlay. Thanks so much
Man today 1/14/2024 and works like a charm. Thanks for your detailed and easy to follow instructions
When i put in the usb, it detects it but says no package update when i do the 99
I used MacOS to set up the flash drive. It works fine. Make sure you use disk utility to erase the flash drive to MS FAT format. And copy the update file and open terminal and type md5 followed by the update file to verify the hash value. The installation is pretty easy. Thanks for sharing. Now just need a USB hub to get Android auto !
@@BK_BT installed the USB hub today. Android auto Works flawlessly.
I used mac too with no problem
@@renatoalvareztv Did you get prompted to enter a password in order to unzip the file? That's where I'm stuck.
Can you share on how you did the format on the flashdrive?
@@CarlosMendez-eb7pb open disk utility , select the correct flashdrive name, click erase and there is a format dropdown , select MS DOC (FAT)
Worked September 2024 on a 2016 Mazda CX-3. Great video 🙏.
I just updated to 74.00.324A last night with no problems.
the downloads are still active in August 2023! Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial
I tried and it work. June 2024. Many thanks.
12/13/2022 - Confirmed that this worked on my 2016.5 CX-5. Successfully updated from 50.00.753 to 70.00.335. Thanks!
Finally got around to updating my CX-5. Your video and explanation was perfect for the job. Answered all my questions and provided all the files I needed! Thank you for leaving the file up on your google drive. Firmware updated, ACP hardware added and all is now well for my wife who hated that she had to use the Mazda nav system instead of her Waze Maps.
Does this give you Apple CarPlay or just update ur software
@@vincentcastaneda8500If you don't have apple car play, you have to change the hardware. (The thing that has your USB ports and 12 volt outlet in the center console) and a certain firmware version.
Excellent guide, thank you Bryce. If anyone is having trouble updating their software, make sure your USB is formatted to FAT32 (not exFAT)!
Still works on 5/1/24! This was great updated from 55.xx to 70.xx in about 20 mins.
Thanks bro. I had version 55.00.753 on Mazda cx5. Followed the instructions and updated to version 70.00.335. It worked and it is good enough for me to install android auto/carplay.
Still works in 2024 with my mazda cx5 2017. Had to format my pendrive to fat 32 so the infotainment could actually recognize the firmware update file. Thank you so much.
Update still works as of 6/2022. Great video. Many thanks!
This file worked perfect on my mazda 3 2016 , I had version 55.00.650 and upgrade was very smooth and fast , pretty clear instructions thank you brother !
Excellent video! Maybe the best, clearest, most helpful I've encountered yet online on ANY topic. And thanks for that most useful collection of critical files on Google Drive. All very, very well done. Thank you.
Thanks for the video Bryce, and especially for providing files in the description!
I didn't know of this three years ago. Mazda wanted sbout $600 or $695 to update and upgrade to carplay, for my '18 CX 9, got them to update for around $85, then installed the carplay unit, around $200 and two hours time. I just did this update on my daughters' '16 CX5, worked flawlessly. Now to do the hardware upgrade, I have seen that for around $100. good youtube tutorials for that also!
Thank you! I successfully updated from 56.00.230 straight to 70.00.352 with one file
Thank you so much! I bought my daughter a 2016 Mazda 3 and now she has CarPlay after using your instructions for the firmware update and the other video for the install. I did find videos with easier ways of removing the old hub but I used your videos as well to double check what I was doing. Thank you again, really can’t believe I did it myself. The total cost was $95 for the hub from Amazon and the trim removal tools. The rest of the tools, I already had.
I wanted to add for other people that might see this- running the new cables through was a bit complicated but I was able to do it by getting underneath steering column and using a strong flashlight. The only trim pieces I removed were the front vents and the screen (as well as the old hub of course).
Clear instructions, great data file, Successfully upgraded 59.00.502 to 70.00.335C in my 2016 Mazda cx5 touring. Now to install a USB hub for carplay. Thks bro.
Great video and instructions. Thank you. For those wondering if they can upgrade from 51.00.351 directly to 74.00.324, it worked perfectly for me. The installation phase took 25 minutes. To be on the safe side I connected a battery trickle charger.
Thank you so very much. I was so afraid to brick my 2017 Yaris iA but your directions and access to the file did the job. Now I have to upgrade the USB hub. Jesus take the wheel. Lol
Any update? How did it go? Im planning to update the usb too on my yaris 2018
I'm thinking about doing this as well.
@@slurpeyatari hey i did it, let me know if you have any questions
@@NINJA09XD Did you do the Yaris? I recently purchased a 2018 iA and the firmware is at 59.00.450 NA N. Seems like a single update will get me ready for the CarPlay USB Hub.
@@charlesbyers6911 once you update the firmware to the one in the video you need the HUB which you can get it at any Mazda dealer, you can also buy it online with different brands but usually they will lang overtime. So it better to get it OEM
Man deserves a medal. Oct 14 2023 and file still works. I originally tried to upload to USB from MacBook, but my daughter's 2016 Mazda 3 didn't pick up the file. Re-did on a PC and Bingo! Worked like a charm. Thanks so much!! Apple Car Play kit arrives tomorrow and looking forward to upgrading.
Thank you!! I just updated my Mazda3! I printed out the instructions and played the video along with the steps. It worked perfectly the first time!
There are few instructional videos i've ever seen that have been as perfect as this one. Real life saver, thank you so much :)
when i put in the usb, it says no packge available. COuld you please help
Man, I never thought I'd receive instructions from Mikey Musumeci for my Mazda.
😂
Thank you so much for your video.
Installation date: 2/16/2024.
I called the Mazda dealer and schedule for firmware update...the lowest price is $99 the highest $140. At first I skeptical if this update work? In case it fail then I will pay for upgrade at the dealer. I watched the video, read the Read Me file and follow the instructions...it worked. The update process completed within 30 minutes for my 2018 Mazda 3. Once again thank you for your help.
Hopefully, my comment will help anyone feeling comfortable to follow the instruction.
Upgraded 2018 Mazda 3 from version 59(?). worked perfectly, thanks!
Thanks a million, Bryce! Updated from v.59 to 70.00.335C thanks to your very detailed instructions. Just saw the comments that 70.00.352B is available now so I'll update to that too while I'm waiting on my CarPlay hardware to come in. Appreciate all the help!
where can I download the latest files? thanks, boss
Where did you get the files?
It is such a nice video explaining everything clearly and easy to make the update if you dont even miss a word. My system was 56.00.230 (EU Version) and I upgraded it to directly 74.00.324 without any issues. But be careful that if your version is older than 56.00.100 you will brick CMU if you try to upgrade directly to 74.00.324.
Hi Serdar, where did you get the file? i'm looking to do the same install
@@henreyes1 Hi Michael. I got the file from moderator of "cx3forum". You can register to the forum and ask for the link.
@@Serdarin1974 thank you
I have the NA N With 70.00.367A version installed. I can install the one you installed. I would appreciate it if you send me the forum link to ask cx3forum.@@Serdarin1974
Im not sure which number i have but if by chance that i have the 56.00.100, am i at least good to update to 70.00.350?
Update works as of 1/19/2023 on my 2016 CR-X GT!! Cheers
May 24 still very helpful vid! Went from 59.441 straight to 74 without a hitch. About 40 mins with the breaks. 2016.5 cx5. Many thanks!!!!
Where did you get the 74... version?
Thank you sooo much. Oct 2023 and this still works. You saved me $170 on the dealership price. You're a life saver. Add a link or something to your channel for a 1 time donation and I'll gladly sent it.
my firmware update was a success. thanks for sharing.

Hey, just wanted to say thank you! Your google drive with the update and instructions was awesome. Also, I used my Macbook and everything worked great!
Fantastic guide along with the provided files. First time DIYer in the car space but followed this video and the linked pdf for my 2017 CX-5 and worked beautifully!
what's new after updated it?
@@jasoncool1927 where do u find the firmware to update it? I have been having some glitches and would like to update mine.
Does this update give you Apple CarPlay if you don’t have it already ?
Gracias a este amigo logré actualizar el 55.000 a la 70.000.335 con una facilidad increíble, solo me queda comprar el módulo de USB que tiene CarPlay, excelente video de referencia!!!!!! felicidades!
Amigo una pregunta, yo tengo la 59.00.545 4A N, esta que es 70.00. 335 NA N sirve? Estoy en LATAM.
Here to report almost three years later, this video and your links are perfect. I formatted using MS-FAT on Mac, check MD5 via terminal (dragged the file into Terminal window) hash matched, firmware updated from 59 directly to the 70.00.335 without any errors. Kit should arrive tomorrow. THANK YOU!
Kit arrived today. Installed. Apple car play is working perfect!
Hey my OS Version is 59.00.502 NA but it seems to keep telling me that there are no new update packages available. I’ve followed all the steps with checking the hash marks and formatting the drive but i can’t seem to get the update to appear. Even have the same Usb stick as the video. Any help?
Excellent video. Followed it to the tee and it worked perfectly in my 2016 CX5 Grand Touring. Now I can tear apart my dash and install the new USB hub to get Android Auto.
Worked flawlessly on my 2016 CX-5. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
What was the MZD Connect firmware version on your CX-5 before the update?
@@kennynishida1012 sorry I don’t remember. It wasn’t too far out of date.
mine was in japanese with no language option... made this upgrade today and thank God i was successfull all thanks to Bryce Thomas am extremely happy and grateful
Thanks man, 3 years later and I updated my 16 CX5 no problem. Going to tackle retrofitting Android Auto next
Thank you! I never could of done the software update + Android Auto without your help. I just bought a 2017 MX5 with a bad touch screen display. So, while I had it apart to replace the digitizer, I figured, what the heck, let's do the Android Auto update and add the cabin air filter mod. Thank you, again.
This was a massive help, updated from v33 straight to v70 in around 20 minutes! Thanks for the tutorial and thanks most of all for still having a working link!
Does it work with Chromebook or you used Windows?
@@winterMB91 I used windows but as long as you can zip/unzip on chromeos it might work - i would be careful tho!
I did the 1-step update from 56.00 using the provided files with no issues just today. Thank you!
Thank you for hosting the firmware file! I was running the AIO Mazda tweaks version of the firmware and Android Auto was so sketchy and always quit out at the wrong times so I decided to get the official hardware for my 18 GT and needed this update. Although I lost a few things I really liked I decided the official hardware and working Android Auto was worth the trade-off. Everything worked perfectly and this video helped a lot thank you
Thank you very much. This worked like a charm. I purchased this car via a Japan Auto dealer. Not only did this update the firmware but I now have the English option.
Thanks Bryce. My 2017 CX5 infotainment system was driving me crazy by constantly resetting itself. Your firmware update saved my $200 from the dealership and hopefully solved my problem! Plus now I can upgrade to android auto if I so decide. Much appreciated my friend !!!!
Thank you so much for such informative video and including the firmware file!
Also, this worked on a Toyota Yaris iA since it is a Mazda clone afterall.
Thanks again!
great tutorial, works on fw 31.00.100 just updated my Mazda 3 2014 sportback to 70.00.335 se asia, thank you so much, saved me a load of Thai Baht!
did you not experience any problem after updating when you used the North American upgrade for your SE Asian original firmware?
It worked! Thank you!!
I’d like to add that I had to format my usb drive to FAT32 in order for my Mazda Connect to recognize it.
Great Video! Just did this for my 2016 CX5 Touring with no issues at all Sept 6th 2024
THANK YOU!! Just updated my 2016 CX-3 and it worked great!
I updated my firmware following your step by step and it worked 100% !!! I did the update with the previous hub the original one and then I changed to the new one with the CarPlay..
Perfect explanation of install process and supply of necessary files. Well done!
Saved my life!!! This videos was a awesome help installing this update. The instructions were perfectly explained and it was very easy to install. Thank you so much!
Worked with 2016 CX5. Upgraded from 59 to 74 from New York. My first failed because of USB (FAT32 8GB) defect, so I tried a different one (FAT32 2GB) worked!! THANK you!
str8 upgrade to 74?
In the process of doing my 2018 Cx9
Thanks! Everything worked perfectly. Had an issue with the car not recognizing the usb drive at first, just tried a different drive and it worked. Did this on a 2018 Mazda 3
8/19/24 - worked perfectly as of today! Thanks Bryce!
Worked perfectly, thank you. This was the only step I was nervous about. You're a boss.
Perfect. Complete. I love your analytical approach to prevent bricking it. I successfully upgraded my wife's 2018 cx5 so I can install a android auto hub and saved me $200
Where did you buy the OEM Mazda CarPlay part?
Does this update allow you to get Apple CarPlay or android CarPlay if you didn’t have it in ur car beofre the update
Thanks for this video! Was able to install this on my wife’s 2019 Toyota Yaris to get Apple CarPlay
Upgraded from v33 on my 2015 mazda 3 today, can confirm this worked with no issues! Thanks!
Nicole Betournay ur on version 77.00.335? cuz im trying to install version 77.00.352 that a carplay tutorial on here had. i just updated to .335 tho even though he said it wouldnt work without the right version(77.00.352)
Did u change module or just updated?
Works for Australia Maxda cx-9. Thanks for the video.
It just made it American if it wasn't already correct???
Thanks for making the video! As far as navigation, I literally just got a SD card with the maps on it already for $35 and it was plug and play
Thank you for the files and clear instructions! Successfully upgraded my firmware today.
Couple of comments re: installation on 2016 CX-5. I had to format my USB key as Fat32 - it seems ExFat is not be visible to the audio system. At the firmware update progress status 'window', the system advised to press the brake or open door... at 20 minutes. In my case, the entertainment system shut down before my timer hit 20 minutes. Fortunately, I turned 'acc' back on using the start button and received a notification that the updated failed and was directed to turn acc off and on, which resumed the installation at the point it had left off, i.e. I didn't have to go through the entire process again. In the end the update was successful and everything appears to be working fine.
Can you send me usb with this page of instructions
I can pay u
Was incredibly useful to upgrade my 2018 Mazda 3 GT in 2023 before installing the USB upgrade for Android auto and car play support.. The files are easy to access and the instructions very clear.
Liked, and subscribed brother. At first the USB wasn’t working, so I looked online to see what’s going on. I had it formatted as FAT32 so I knew that’s not the problem. It turns out after I’ve done a complete formatting (not the quick one) it didn’t work anymore. Luckily I had a second one and I was able
To do it with that one. Easyto install if you follow the steps. Thanks a lot again!
Thank you. My Mazda CX5 2016 is updated and ready for hardware
Worked great. The only issue I had was the SD navigation card I had stopped working after I installed the ACP/AA hardware. Thanks for the video and guide!
@@BK_BT I have a CX5-2016 Japanese version, can I do this update?
Thank you so much for this. I just did a 2014 Mazda 3 Sport. Went from “55.00.753 NA N” straight to the version you posted. No issues at all and everything seems to be working well including the Mazda maps/navigation with my SD card. After that I spent a couple of hours installing the new USB hub and voila. Now I have Car Play in my 2014 Mazda. :)
Where do I get the files?
@@Tony1KADay It's in the video description.
Nice! What guide did you use to install hardware?
Great video, thanks. Just to add, formatting a USB stick with the *.up file(s) you provided work flawlessly with Ubuntu as well. And yes, formatting the USB Stick as FAT32 on Mac does NOT mount in-vehicle.
I have a 2016 Mazda CX-9 and am on Ubuntu 18.04.
What do you it does not mount in-vehicle? Don’t understand that terminology, i have a Mac and wondering if i really need to go borrow someone’s PC
Bryce, you rock! Thanks for all the detail and for the files, I'll do the process tomorrow, I hope it works! Cheers!
Thank you, you’re a really hero. Successful upgrade my Mazda firmware following your instruction.
Hey I’m sure your video works for some but I tried doing all the steps you did and it never go to the update bar only to preparing to update screen for an hour and a half. My current version was 53 and I was using the correct Fat32 usb but I had to turn the car on to keep the battery alive and it never went past the screen. My head unit is now bricked so please all be careful im going to be paying a lot to fix this I’m sure
Thank you for this! My hardware should be here soon!
Thank you so much for your video! Now, i have a version 70.00.335
Awesome. Thank you for the instructions and the firmware download. Worked perfectly.
This was super helpful and I was able to update and install a CarPlay hub into my Mazda 3 2016 with this. I’m in the UK, and the one thing that was lost in this process seems to be the DAB radio - has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks bro saves me 500 bucks that the dealer wanted! Mines took about 25 mins thanks again
Great video, excellent documentation on the google drive. Keep up the great content!
Any reason why my Mazda recognizes the usb, then when I hit SEARCH it says "No new software packages available"?
