Nissan as well doesn't have it. But out of the 3 (mazda, toyota, nissan).. Mazda seems to be making the most news about having it "soon"
Toyota I believe is firm about not conforming and trying to build on their crappy system entune or whatever its called. No idea what nissan thinks about it. EDIT: I just saw its in vehicles in Japan already and Android site says coming soon. I think toyota's popularity can allow it to still sell its vehicles without it. Mazda I dont think has that popularity. I would think even Honda could still sell well without it, I mean they did with the previous gen CRV. So adding AA/Carplay on the Mazdas will def help.
Just joining the thread. I was just reading that newer lineups of Mazda's are getting Android Auto and that all Mazda connect infotainment systems are capable of running it and would take a small modification to make it work on older models .

So it seems like the 2017 CX-5 was the first your to get the Mazda Connect infotainment system but i just wanted to let people know that according to Mazda it is coming and most likely a free upgrade
I have the 2013 sadly so no love for me!! Time to go get an aftermarket unit

Our 2013 has navigation but not Mazda Connect. Have to find out how to keep it updated. Can I just purchase maps from Tom Tom?
Our 2016, Glad I didn't purchase the $150-$200 or so navigation card online. Will hold out for the update.

Pretty sure you can buy them from Mazda. I wonder is these cards are able to be copied...
I miss the NAV on 2015 CX-5 that displays both actual car speed and speed limit. The 2016.5 NAV (Mazda Connect) is only showing speed limit but not car speed (unless someone can tell me I've missed the latter feature, and I end up having to check both NAV display and speedometer.
That statement is from and interview with a guy from Mazda though so not really hearsay because its coming right from them but till its official i get what you are saying. Hopeful!!
Free for 3 years. I would guess your free period is ending soon and an update just came out in January. Go get it.We have a card (Tom Tom). I guess I have to buy map updates unless they're free. That said I haven't updated it since like 2014. Could not find a location probably 3-4 times since then. Not really a priority but may have to see if they still provide free updates.
I just got another car that has carplay and it sucks, no features at all, cant use waze or google maps. im now planning to order navtool form navtool.com
