Mavideol Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I never did like the Mazda infotainment system, it's not easy to use and their maps are not updated regularly, thus have been looking to install Android Auto and just came across the news that Mazda is offering a retrofit for some old models of their line up. Before I start to play with installation files I would prefer to ask here if anybody has retrofitted or is thiking about retrofit their Mazda infotainment to Android Auto or to Car Play, is it a reliable option, if anybody did what was the price, Mazda USA is advertising a $199 USD price for software and hardware installment and 2 hours labor. I found a link at Ebay for an installment kit, I couldn't find any information about price in Thailand it keeps telling me to visit the dealer https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mazda-Apple-CarPlay-and-Android-Auto-Retrofit-Kit-00008FZ34-/192679403436 Edited January 17, 2021 by Mavideol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Do yourself a favour - have an aftermarket Android system installed. Any decent shop will have all the trim pieces to make the install look factory You will have access to all the apps your smartfone has. As well as fone mirroring, front and rear cameras, ... Forget the factory garbage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
