Amazing addition, man! Thank you very much. This surely will help. Much appreciated. <3
No problem Sir,(hi)
Just make certain 'IF' any CX-9 or any other Mazda (MZD) Connect Owner who wants to UPDATE Their Connect to include the interfaces of Car Play and Android Auto.
Just be CERTAIN to Follow MY (Mazda's ) INSTRUCTIONS 100%.
My advise is ONLY what Mazda Officially says TO
THEIR Mazda DEALER NETWORK, I worked for the company for many decades, so I know their Japan operations very well in OEM Mazda Parts and Mazda Service.
DO NOT TAKE SHORT CUTS TO THIS INSTALLATION.
EVERY INSTALL MUST HAVE THE NEW 70'S FIRMWARE/SOFTWARE INSTALLED FIRST WITH THE OLD EQUIPMENT STILL INSTALLED.
ONLY use the 2018 FIRMWARE CMU UPDATE PROCEDURE-WORLDWIDE.Pdf in link below..
YES, there will always be those who get away with their own short cuts, do not accept this advise, they are lucky that their CMU did not Brick/Crash/or Boot-loop.

THEN YOU CAN REMOVE THE NECESSARY TRIM PIECES TO INSTALL THE ALL NEW 'Aux Hub' AND ALL NEW Two 'USB Data Cables' (A PAIR OF),
THEN YOU CAN TURN ON CARS IGNITION (ORANGE) FOR ABOUT 4 MINUTES SO THE NEW 70'S FIRMWARE INSTALLS CORRECTLY.
Sorry about all caps but I am not going back to re-do
ALSO:
REMEMBER FIRST INSTALL THE CORRECT 70'S FIRMWARE/SOFTWARE FOR YOUR COUNTRY OR REGION, DO NOT INSTALL FIRMWARE MEANT FOR OTHER COUNTRIES.
IF YOU DO, CERTAIN FEATURES WILL NEVER WORK, UNTIL YOU RUN THE CORRECT FIRMWARE.
As of right now..
ONLY
EU N or Europe/UK has the correct OEM Mazda Firmware/Software to use EU_70.00.021A_failsafe/reinstall.up (two separate files, one small, one large)
ONLY
EU N is available over @ the 3 Rev Forum to download.
Next release is ADR or
4A N for Southern Hemisphere. like Australia/NZ/South Africa/America/South Asia.
That is ADR_70.00.021A_failsafe/reinstall.up (two separate files, one small, one large)
Next release is for North America called
NA N for USA/Canada/Mexico.
That is NA_70.00.???A_failsafe/reinstall.up (two separate files, one small, one large)
NA N is SPECIFIC to those Counties, IF you install EU N Firmware YOU WILL LOSE all of your Satellite Radio Services.
While I do NOT recommend installing Firmware for other countries some of it has similarities that will make it work.
EU N and
4A N are Similar and can be used to set up and run CP/AA, BUT you will lose some functions like AM Radio and DAB+ Stereo Audio.
When the correct
EU N or
4A N is made available you can then run the software/firmware. Just recall it is something I do not regularly suggest you do.
ALSO JUST REMEMBER MZD/MAZDA CONNECT FIRMWARE/SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY DONE BY YOUR LOCAL MAZDA DEALER.
IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE PERFORMED BY THE VEHICLE OWNER.
