- Mazda CX 5 Touring
I was driving in my 2019 cx5 gt the other day and the infotainment just on its own rebooted. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?
No, just updated iPhone last night.I hadn’t experienced this until recently updating my phone to iOS 14. Did the same thing happen to you?
Then it’s just the shittt infotainment system.. I already had the usb plugs replaced by Mazda over a month ago when my phone stopped connecting to the CarPlay. Now it’s the infotainment crashing on its own. So frustrating with Mazda..No, just updated iPhone last night.
If your infotainment system was stable but suddenly started rebooting periodically, go to your Mazda dealer to diagnose the problem and mainly to make a record if you still have new-car warranty. Thus if the problem continues, you can force Mazda to fix or replace the whole unit based on your complaining history.Then it’s just the shittt infotainment system..

I suspect iOS upgrade issue. I was completely ok until the new update. Someone told me to try deleting Mazda profile from CarPlay in the iPhone and then pairing it agains.Same happened to my 2020 sig cx-5. The infotainment rebooted on its on own couple of times when i was driving with my google maps and car play on. Is this Mazda os issue or ios upgrade issue?

Good idea to notify dealer.If your infotainment system was stable but suddenly started rebooting periodically, go to your Mazda dealer to diagnose the problem and mainly to make a record if you still have new-car warranty.

IMO, this sudden change of behavior on rebooting is caused by the hardware, not the software. The software will never change but the parts in hardware could degrade to cause the system reboot.

It's not just Subaru either.I would say that 90% of complaints on Subaru forums are the infotainment. Don't feel bad.
It's not just Subaru either.
I've been reading car reviews on other sites lately (car shopping a bit), like Edmunds, and infotainment complaints run across many brands, like Honda, and higher end makes like Audi, BMW, etc.
There is no perfect system unfortunately.
It's tough for car makers to stay ahead of the curve, especially when there are so many different phones brands and different operating system levels on said phones.
Not everyone runs the latest version of Apple IOS or Android.
There is also no standard operating system from one car brand to another when it comes to their infotainment systems.
Every manufacturer does it differently.
I think the car industry would benefit greatly if there was some sort of standardization, but they each seem to think they can do it better than the other guy.
Some of them are ridiculously, and needlessly, complicated, like having to go through four sub menus to adjust the heater fan speed or radio volume. Stupid stuff some of it.
Personally, I always wait a bit before jumping on the software upgrade wagon, be it phones, computers, apps, whatever.
Let the other guys be the guinea pigs.
Expanding on that: today's car makers are really only car assemblers now.What is also funny is that the screen and attached electronics that manufacturers are farmed out to other compaines (for instance harmon kardon makes it for Subaru).
I would not be surprised if BOSE makes the system for the CX-5 Sport with the four speakers.
