Guide on how to do the hardware install of the new USB hub and cord required to use CarPlay and Andriod Auto in a 2016 or new Mazda CX-5.
The dealership can do this for you but it's around $400 total for them to do it.
Using this method will only cost about $150 for the parts.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting this, make sure you have the correct firmware needed (70.00.21 or later). See below for instructions on how to do this.
Please note: Do this at your own risk. If you don't feel comfortable with any of the steps, have a dealer install it for you.
