Android Auto is working, but looks like mazda locked down the USB ports so there’s some disassembly required if you’re past a certain firmware version.

Android Auto and CarPlay are supposed to be coming to recent mazda models but apparently it’s been promised a while. I’m gonna wait a year and then see what the state of that + the hack scene is but seems like interesting stuff!

That's genuinely amazing!

I honestly didn't think it would be possible when I sold my Mazda a few years ago, and I'm so happy they were able to get it working.

And I'm with you, I don't believe that AA or carplay is coming any time soon, since they were saying that it was "coming soon" when I sold the thing.

And there is absolutely 0 chance they will allow an update to bring it to older cars.
