    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    This will be so expensive. Local dealer in sydney quoted me $380 for the parts (out of stock). If you then add 3 hours worth of install time itll be up around the $700 AUD mark

    I read an article on the recent Toyota announcement to include CarPlay in their cars. News out this week suggests that Toyota and Lexus in Australia wont be getting it in the 2018/2019 model cars. And there is no time frame for a local release. So chances are we wont get anything from Mazda...

    It doesnt say that. It specially mentions thats itll be available as an upgrade AND can be retrofitted to 2018 Mazda6 that have already been sold. No mention of standard on all new cars In other words itll be included in one of their preferred options pack etc. 2018 Mazda6 will be the first...

    Anyone notice the actual wording? CarPlay will be available as an UPGRADE OPTION on all 2018 Mazda6 models with Touring trim level and above. In other words you have to pay extra to get it and it doesnt come as standard with the brand new car. Its also not available in the entire lineup.

    How to prevent Mazda updating infotainment system

    apperantly it falls into a recall situation where they have to for security reasons. Just like when they patched the USB vulnerabilities even if you didnt want to. I talked to them about it and that was the response. I had hoped there is something I could unplug or disable to prevent the update

    "Drive A Mazda? Your Privacy Could Be Gone In 10 Seconds"

    Actually the article seems to suggest they did it very recently and somehow managed to get it installed. If it was the old USB trick that wouldnt make news cause everyone knows. This would suggest there may be another work around that hasnt been fixed yet for the AIO tweeks

    Who has done the Mazda AIO Hack?

    Im in Australia and have a fairly recent version and was locked out from the get go. At least i still had Pandora Radio to play but they removed that as well during the latest service without asking me. Now Im stuck with some s*** called sticher and AHA which is possibly the most useless app in...

    2017~2024 CX-5 PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter install help

    I'm trying to understand how the whole PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter works. It makes no sense to me. I understand how to PAC plugs into the TAU (Tuner Amp Unit) but it makes no sense to me why and how. 1. So essentially there is some cables going into the TAU which I understand are cables that come...
