    Firmware 70.00.367A

    Attempted to do this yesterday. After getting close to 100% it starts over. And it loops continuously (I let it go for an excess of 3 hours) and eventually I punted. Now when I turn on it wants to ready from the USB drive. Anyone point me in the right direction for further troubleshooting...

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    Hi MountainCruzin, Sorry for the delayed response. The "show group message" notifications is set to "ON". However I do not get group (MMS) notifications. Version 5.0.500224-release of AA. Can anyone else confirm they get MMS messages on AA?

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    So this has been bothering me ever since I got Android Auto (which is such a step up from native Infotainment). Am I missing something or this an issue for everyone: Text messages that include more than recipient don't show up (SMS vs MMS). This is agnostic whether it is coming from another...

    Who has done the Mazda AIO Hack?

    So is there anyone in the Pittsburgh area who can do this? I have a 2018 GT with Android Auto and would love to add these tweaks. I am technically minded but when it comes to ripping apart the parts in the glove box and soldering of the cables I am out of my league. If anyone in the PGH would...

    Display Album Art?

    This has been a complaint of mine since I bought my 18 GT last June. I mentioned it to the dealer and opened up a case with Mazda Corp. Sadly the XM radio on these are crippled. Not only does it not show the album art (yet shows the box) it also has a hard limit on how many characters are...

    2017~2024 Android Auto - Text Message (SMS but not MMS)

    <sigh> Prior to Android Auto I had issues with sender of text messages not being properly displayed (see threads https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123866371-Text-Message-Name-Display-is-Incorrect-2018-CX5-GT and...

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    Done and done. While I agree on all points once you narrow the that it's likely specific Samsung phones (Galaxy S7,S8,S9 series) then narrow the particular manufacturer/model/year (?) of the car (Mazda/CX5/2018) and then have people who are 'savvy' enough to realize/complain of the problem...

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    Well getting off topic for a bit. ;-) I wouldn't mind one of those great phones but there are other factors involved which don't quite allow that for me. In addition, the Note 8 happens to have some unique features- the Pen in particular which the 1+/ and ` don't have. On topic it does seem...

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    Good luck! Let us know how you make out. (I see you are also in the UK? Perhaps it only applies to US version?)

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    As noted earlier in this and other threads it is not the messaging app. As vspot415 said, it's seems as though the combination of Samsung Galaxy (at least on S7 & S8 series) + Oreo + Mazda Connect. That seems to be the common thread when this issue happens. Other phones using Oreo don't seem...

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    After now having AA for about 2 weeks I tend to agree with you. While I don't love the Android Auto implementation of messaging (the notification doesn't stay on screen long enough for me to view) the few text messages I have received have been accurate. I'd still like a larger sample size to...

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    True they do but perhaps it is something in the underpinnings of Oreo. While Touchwiz is installed on my phone it is not the default launcher. On the Mazda side I am now running version 70 (before that version 59.00.546 and whatever was prior to that when I first purchased car) and the text...

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    vspot415 much like a system reset on the phone wont't solve the issue (likely) I'm not confident that replacing the Infotainment will either. I suppose it can if there is a bug is some production lines but that seems unlikely. In the 5 months I've had the my CX5 I've had both a Samsung Galaxy...

    2017~2024 After market Heads Up Display Choices - 2018 CX5 GT

    Replying to my own post. :-) Thinking of purchasing this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07928JF4D/?tag=m20b7-20 Anyone have any thoughts about this or why I may not want to get it?

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    Vspot415 - factory reset did not fix/address the problem so don't waste your time. I think by default the contacts do re-download but that is changeable in the settings. Not sure what would happen if you had a new contact and got a call/text from them. Perhaps the contact list is only...

    2018 CX-5 showing incorrect text message name, can't figure it out

    My contact list (Google) has roughly 800 contacts. Some of them start with a number and some have special characters including parenthesis but that is only relevant on sort as when they are displayed as Google although depending on the sort order of the phone they do show up. However none of...

    Vspot - see my post: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123866371-Text-Message-Name-Display-is-Incorrect-2018-CX5-GT That was on a Galaxy s7 Edge. I have since upgraded to a Galaxy Note 8 and the same issue persists- they both are current on OS patch levels. On top of that I just...

    Sorry unsure if this question should go in "CX-5 Accessories & Appearance" or here but I'm putting it here! :-) Looking to get an after market Heads Up Display. Don't need a lot of fluff- mostly current speed. I saw this https://10carbest.com/best-hud-for-car but (a) most of these aren't...

    How Much Does It Bug You That You Can't Use The Touchscreen While Driving?

    While honestly it doesn't bug me a lot, it does bug me so that's my vote. I have an '18 CX5 purchased in June. I have many a gripe with the infotainment system. I hate that a bucked up for GT mainly for SiriusXM and it is crippled. By crippled I mean it has a hard character limitation (16)-...

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    Hi Scott, I think your link above is wrong. Also the head unit would require installation as well so the cost would be $799 plus? Finally it doesn't appear to have satellite radio built in from what I can see. This would be a deal breaker to me. Thanks, Glenn
