The other thread is too long and convoluted to be any help to anyone really looking for info. That's what this thread shall be.
What we know:
Mazda has not officially made any commitment to bringing AA (Android Auto) or ACP (Apple Car Play) to Mazda vehicles.
On 13 March, Cars.com released THIS article claiming "Mazda said" with no specific mention of who actually said it. I have reached out to Cars.com to get more info. I have heard nothing.
An incredible amount of people have heard from: salesmen, mechanics, a Mazda warranty specialist from Australia, a Mazda PR guy on Twitter have all said Mazda is working on it and something would be coming this fall that would retrofit to Mazda Connect Systems. Some would need a new USB port for either Apple verification or to better charge your phone.
A few days ago Mazda and Toyota announced they will be working on a next generation infotainment system together. Many Mazda owners have speculated that this will be the end of any hope for AA \ ACP in a Mazda as Toyota is publicly against both of these.
This is all we know. Not one thing is official. Please feel free to update this thread with facts.
OK, so let's find out: how many forumers are dying to get AA or ACP with a poll.
Let's stay on topic.
