Apple Car Play

:
Mazda CX-5 2016 Grand Touring
Hello!

What do they have to do to install apple car play? Is there a physical component and/or a software update? My dealer is quoting $500 and I really do not like the current system, its way to cumbersome. Thanks in advance! Oh, I have a 2016 Mazda CX-5.
 
Its a software update first, followed by a new usb hub and cables from the hub to the radio. Parts are about $225 and can be easily installed yourself

Update to v70 needed. Can DIY. Info is all over the web.
Takes about 30 mins to update.

Parts/kit is $155 (Amazon, eBay, many Mazda dealers' online shopping sites).
Takes about 30mins to 1 hrs to do it. Videos on Youtube.

At dealers, $300 to $500 depending on which.
 
anyone have a link to the firmware and instructions for updating the stereo in a 2018 CX-5? I'm doing some googling but haven't found it yet.

Edit - found it. https://my.hidrive.com/share/hsodpqja.l#$/Mazda_Firmware

Cannot post that link for you.
Moderator might not like it.
It is one of the most popular Mazda3 forums.
