Version of 70.00.xxxx Firmware already installed from MAZDA Factory then ALL
you need to purchase and then install are the

Installation of the two New Genuine Mazda Parts.

available CONNECT Operating System
and is FUTURE CP/AA READY…which can be done at any later date or never.
See Changelog .Pdf in Server for all the current bug fixes and features updated

********************************
Below will show you how to and where to go to get the Genuine Mazda FIRMWARE
Files from for free and where to download
the Video’s and .Pdf Instructions. Modfreakz hosts all in his Hi-Drive Server.
Purchase is ONLY for GENUINE Mazda CarPlay with AndroidAuto and WILL NOT WORK
without Installation of new 70’s
Firmware FIRST and THEN the TWO ALL NEW Genuine Mazda Parts installed Second
and Third . .. in that ORDER … PERIOD!
********************************
New revised FIRMWARE UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS.Pdf is Now in SERVER …..
New SINGLE File 70s FIRMWARE is Now Out* ……
New CHANGELOGs .Pdf List of changes and fixes is also now in Server.
*Method in these new Updates are now ONLY a Single ‘UPDATE.up’ File to Run.
No more separated Fail-safe + Reinstall.up files, Now ONLY ONE
‘update.up’ File.
You Select either “Reinstallation Package” or ”Update Package” AFTER file
‘SEARCHING’ from
your USB Mounted ‘USB FLASH DRIVE’ which contains the correct 70.00.352B File
for your Region.
**********************************
ALL the other New Mazda Parts are a MUST DO Requirement as the process of
adding and the installing of CP/AA Firmware and
the MUST have Genuine Mazda Parts has NOT Changed. DO NOT BUY or USE any other
systems ‘put together last year’ as this
WILL corrupt the use of this very latest Genuine Mazda UPDATED 70s FIRMWARE
listed below.
NOTE: There are some cheap options to separately install AndroidAuto ONLY without
CarPlay and the 2 New Mazda Parts Listed
Below in PINK, I strongly advise NOT to go down this route as you must use the
OLD and Outdated 59 Firmware which is buggy
and at times very unreliable with communication errors infecting OTHER working
Systems Hardware inside your car like, engine,
IC control modules or display screen.
SEE the long newly added CHANGELOG List, you should only use latest Mazda
Firmware or you will have issues as listed in the
Changelog. The GENUINE Mazda Firmware here is Free and the Genuine Mazda Parts
are not that expensive and Mazda is still
maintaining Firmware updates for quite a few more years.

********************************
WHAT is the Current or Latest Firmware to use….?
When you See/Read always use the Latest, Newest, Updated or Best Firmware over the years Mazda with Connect has Updated
Firmware many times to Fix Issues and Bugs like any Firmware/Software used for your electronic Devices.
So what do you use??, the Higher the Number string the LATER/LATEST the Firmware, anything which is a Lower Number is
called Older or Outdated Firmware.
Examples: 29.00.000A, 46.00.250, 51.00.351, 56.00.513, 59.00.545, 70.00.021A, 70.00.100A is an Old and Outdated Firmware not
used by ANY Mazda Dealer today.
(still Must use ‘a’ 70’s Firmware for any and all Genuine Mazda CarPlay A/Auto install).
YES, Even If you Do Not Do the Hardware Changes shown below in for 100% working CP/AA you can still update to
70.00.335C to fix resolve current issues/bugs with MAZDA-MZD CONNECT…see Changelogs list in server…..
ANYTHING Below 70.00.352B is technically Older and Outdated and should NOT be used unless Directed to do so (Only BM
Mazda 3’s still on Stage 1 22.00. to 33.00.), …ALL OTHER Mazda’s have a Stage 2 Firmware out of Factory which is any 42.00.xxxx
or Later/Higher Firmware like 46, 51, 55, 56, 59 or even latest 70’s.
********************************
BASICALLY IF YOU WANT the LATEST FIRMWARE for your Mazda-MZD Connect just install 70.00.352B over what you are using
now…..JUST MAKE CERTAIN you use the Correct AVAILABLE ‘OS Version’ for your ‘REGION’, like ‘NA N’ or ‘EU N’ or ‘4A N’.
To Find what Mazda’s Firmware ‘OS VERSION’ and ‘REGION’ is in your car today go to above to reveal the ‘OS Version’ Number
and ‘Region’ Code which you are currently using……
…..As you can see from dash image below this Owner from his cars CMU ‘File Searching’ has the very Latest 70.00.335C 4A N (ADR)
Firmware already installed out of the Factory, so in his case all he has to install for a 100% Working CP/AA are the Two Genuine Mazda
Parts listed in PINK text for his 4A N (ADR) REGION.

********************************
You MUST follow the Install Instructions in the correct order and understand the PROCESS BEFORE you start.
NEVER TURN CAR OFF, START ENGINE or STOP FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCESS ONCE YOU START IT, ALLOW up to 60 Minutes, or
DO NOT DO IT !
********************************
YES, WHILE YOU ARE DOING THE MAIN ‘update.up’ FIRMWARE INSTALLATION YOU WILL VISUALLY SEE YOUR TOUCHSCREEN
either Flicker, Turn Off-On, Flash White, Grey or Black…..NOTHING IS WRONG THIS IS 100% NORMAL…..DO NOT
PANIC…..OK!…..These FIRMWARE INSTALLATIONS takes your TIME!!….About..
NA N About 25-30 minutes….
EU N About 40-45 minutes….
4A N About 35-40 minutes….
See Below Instructions plus the Screen Pic on HOW TO KEEP ‘CMU’ ON…a MUST Do!
********************************
To CLEAR UP some Questions on the new FIRMWARE INSTALLATION.Pdf from MAZDA, DO NOT, repeat DO NOT Skip Any of the 30
numbered Tasks as you do not know more than Mazda.
WHEN You do ANY Connect Firmware Updating, YOU NEVER have Engine Running or Full IGNITION ON, ONLY ACC Ignition should ever
be ON, that is Amber light inside S/S Switch.
NEVER, Touch or Put YOUR FEET ANYWHERE on your Pedals during the First Starting of the Firmware Update Process.
The STEP ON of ‘A’ Pedal is ONLY done during the update.up Firmware loading and ONLY to Re-SET the internal CMU clock so to keep
CMU staying ON and NOT auto turn Off.
STEP ON ‘A’ Pedal Once every 15 to 20 minutes MAX, to keep your CMU on.
TO BEGIN: Keys Transmitters with you. To get to ACC Ignition, NO FEET ON Pedals, and PRESS S/S (Start/Stop) Button ONCE ONLY. This
puts CMU ON and car into ACC Ignition mode ON.
NEXT: Your RADIO (AM or FM) MUST BE ON.
NOTE: When Instructions says to Turn OFF or Re-Start and or put CMU to-sleep for a Lock Down and Walkaway, you PRESS S/S Button
TWICE QUICKLY, that is One after the other, you may see the Green light inside S/S Button for a second, that is OK, your car will
completely Shut Down, DO NOT PUT FEET ON PEDALS DURING SHUT DOWN, Next: EXIT CABIN, Lock all Doors and Walk away with All
Keys and any electronics, wait for 6 minutes and return to car with Keys to unlock and continue.
NEVER have Full IGNITION ON, that is All Lights ON under the Dash Meter Hood and or Green Light inside S/S Button, this is A real Full
Ignition ON and must be avoided by doing it correctly from the start.
DO NOT Have Engine Running at all During FIRMWARE Update PROCESS and I do not care how many times you may have done
Firmware updates before and all has been OK, ENGINE RUNNING IS NOT THE PROCESS by Mazda Today or Ever.
Engine Running means Engine ECU/PCM is communicating with IC (Instrument Cluster) and the CMU, any live communication can BRICK
your CMU, this is partly why the Full NEW shut down is required in Firmware Update Procedure Pdf Number # 7 task.
DO NOT Skip ANY of ‘FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE’ # 1 to # 30 in .Pdf…. Unless directed to skip.
NOTE: IF your Car Battery is Old or bit Slow then connect a Trickle Charger Battery Tender to your Car Battery.
TURN OFF: Any and all accessories, lights, fans, demisters or anything that can drain power from car battery.
YOUR FIRST TIME….?
BEFORE you Start this Firmware Update PROCESS, Do a trial experiment with the Start/Stop (S/S) Button by pressing ‘Twice
Quickly’ and see what happens, Press Once and see what happens. Understand the functions, it is not that difficult, look at
Mazda 3 CP/AA Install Videos.
********************************
USB FLASH DRIVE/THUMB DRIVE Quality WARNING:
WHEN BUYING OR USING Any USB FLASH DRIVE (Thumb Drive), DO NOT USE or PURCHASE CHEAP ”NO BRANDED” USB FLASH DRIVES
USUALLY Made in China as these CHEAP DRIVES HAVE BEEN KNOWN to STOP and FAIL DURING CMU FIRMWARE File Installation which
can Brick Your Cars CMU.
Do Not Take That RISK to SAVE A FEW $$$s, BUY AND USE A KNOWN BRANDED NAME LIKE Sandisk, LG, Samsung, Sony or Kingston with
an external flashing LED is great to see the new .up File is loading into CMU.
********************************
OPTIONAL USB Flash Drive DURABILITY TEST:
TESTER App now in Server ‘x H2testw USB Drive Tester’ in Folder ‘H2testw’ with Pdf Instructions for USB Drive Tester to Write/Read/Speed
Test and Report on your USB Flash Drive BEFORE you use it., DELETE all Test Files written Before you begin to use Flash Drive.
You may find out too late that your USB Flash Drive has stalled or stopped. Why you should test your USB Flash Drive PLUS do the .up
file CheckSum Hash# Value Testing of the newly Downloaded 70’s Firmware File BEFORE You Use it in your USB Flash Drive device.
********************************
BE AWARE THAT DOWNLOADING AND COPYING .up FIRMWARE FILE Via any MAC (Apple) PC CAN and DOES CREATE ISSUES
WITH Cars CMU SEEING THE LARGE update.up FILE on Your USB FLASH/THUMB DRIVE.
You should ONLY use a WINDOWS 10 PC for ALL Downloading and Transferring update.up File onto your Clean FAT32 Formatted USB
FLASH DRIVE.
Any Mac PC will auto install ‘Hidden Files’ onto your Flash Drive which then STOPS your cars CMU from seeing the new
Firmware update.up File on your Flash Drive during your CMU file searching task.
Mac Users ‘can try’ using a Cleaner to remove Hidden/Invisible Files on your USB Flash Drive, but it is not always successful. Seriously just
use/borrow a 100% Windows/Intel PC and re-format your USB Flash Drive on this W-PC and Download update.up File again. IF you are
still having issues with CMU seeing your USB Flash Drive try using another different Flash Drive of 16GB is good.
Fact: Automotive Diagnostics are only meant to be done with and on a Windows PC. The Mac OS is not supported by the
wholesale/manufacturing Auto Industry with any car make.
IF you continue to have problems of CMU NOT Seeing your Flash Drive Files, use another USB Flash Drive, problems are either the use
of Apple PC’s or Flash Drive brand or age or is faulty, try reformatting Flash Drive to FAT32 16GB Only.
DO NOT Use Flash Drives larger than 16GB. 32GB or 64 GB your CMU will not see your device as it is too large for it to search.
********************************
FOR EARLY Mazda 3’s ONLY:
Old 31.00.100A Firmware ‘if Needed’ is ONLY used for the very early 2013-2015 Mazda 3’s (BM) for a FIRST Stage 1 Update, NO
other Mazda needs it.
ALL OTHER MAZDA Models NOW ONLY NEED the 70.00.352B Installed.
********************************
MAKE CERTAIN you understand the upgrade PROCESS 100% and DO NOT ALLOW CMU to ever go to sleep (turn-off), DO NOT
Start Engine Until 100% Finished!
********************************
….NOTE:
From all 70.00.335C there are No more separated Fail-safe.up + Reinstall.up files, ONLY the one SINGLE ‘update.up’ File.
AFTER Touchscreen file ‘SEARCHING’ from Your pre-loaded SINGLE 70.00.335C update.up file in your quality branded ‘USB FLASH DRIVE’
You then Select either “Reinstallation Package” or ”Update Package” the rest of this Video Install process has NOT Changed.
….NOTE:
After 70.00.352B Firmware is installed you can run it and can use it in car normally, BUT YOU WILL NOT SEE CP/AA availability on the
Connect screen Settings, etc.
Only UNTIL and AFTER you Install the TWO NEW Genuine Mazda Parts LAST.
Upgrading for the FIRST Time MUST BE done with OLD PARTS Still Working in car. Your cars NEXT and Future Firmware Releases
are done with new parts installed as this ONLY applies for the very FIRST OS Version install of 70s.
WARNING:
If you install NEW Mazda Parts FIRST You CAN NOT Install the NEW 70s Firmware. YOU WILL have to re-install the Two OLD
PARTS again BEFORE you can INSTALL the New 70’s Firmware. (Firmware FIRST – New Parts LAST).
BELOW Video:
Here is a US Mazda Owner Installing NA N now old Two File Set-Up Firmware 70.00.100, I cannot fault his method and like his CheckSum
# testing of Files on USB Drive. All EU N and 4A N Update.up File takes longer to install as they are a much larger file in size.
He did have his Phone Bluetooth On, it should be OFF during any updating..
70 Firmware Install Video
Time (how long?) Mazda USA allows 1.5 Hours for their Dealers labor to install kit on a 2018 Mazda 6. Mazda Motors Europe allows 1.4
Hours labor for all models to install.
********************************
”w TROUBLESHOOTING” PDF’s Added to Server…
Also…these Two Common Installation Problems….
CP/AA Not Working AFTER you Installed the 2 New Parts ?
1. You Did NOT install then Run NEW 70’s Firmware First and BEFORE you Removed OLD Parts (old Aux Hub, old USB Cable) and installed
the all New Parts (Hardware) ?.
2. No GPS or Seeing ‘Greyed Out’ Apple Car Play and Android Auto Touchscreen Select?, make Certain your BLUE GPS Cable PLUG has
not accidentally UNPLUGGED when re-installing your CMU, re-check ALL Cable END Plugs on the REAR of CMU.
..MAKE SURE YOUR OWN PHONE Apps’ and OS ARE ALSO UPDATED..
