MAZDA MZD CONNECT INFOTAINMENT UPDATE TO THE BEST AND LATEST.
Be Advised I will No Longer offer Any Support to Mazda Owners who Do Not obtain these Genuine Mazda Firmware Files from Me.
If you Download from YouTube or Other Links then Do Not ask for any help from me if or when it goes bad. Most of the other 'suppliers' do not offer any Support or include Full Instructions and or are issuing the wrong files for your Country or car.
I am simply not prepared to waste my time when some of you are impatient and or cannot wait for my reply(s).
Most PC Browsers (Google Chrome or MS Edge) offer Translation from a drop down, top far right.
L00K: AS OF SEPT 2025 IN 95% OF UPDATES MOST OWNERS ONLY NEED THE ONE EASY UPDATE,
THE OLD OUTDATED 70.00.100 IN 95% OF CASES IS NOT NEEDED* AND YOU ARE AT RISK BRICKING YOUR CMU (Mazda Connect) BY INSTALLING THIS 70.00.100 TWO FILE UPDATE.
STOP Installing ANY 70.00.100 Files Unless Instructed by me to do so.!
PLZ STOP READING OUT OF DATE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO.
PLS STOP INSTALLING OLD FILES WHICH ARE NOT EVEN NEEDED.
* Only used as a transition update on cars made before 2015 and Never Updated Before.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY SMART PHONE TO DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE AND INSTALL OF FIRMWARE ONTO small USB FLASH DRIVE. ONLY USE A WINDOWS 11 PC - LAPTOP.
For ND MX-5 the Current as we know it Generation 6 Mazda Connect (Above) has finally been changed to the Generation 7 from the 2024 NE MX-5 Model Year onwards to the Widescreen (type/look).. and No you can't change Firmware from Gen 6 to Gen 7
.As ND Owners know the Mazda Connect (round red knob home screen) has been around a long time since the 2014 BM Mazda 3 and has had many bugs and issues over the years like most brand Infotainment systems, FINALLY though the Latest and LAST Firmware Update is great, all of the bugs are gone and works much faster then versions before it.
Plus with this version number 74.00.324A you can also install the wired Carplay-AndroidAuto Conversion Kit (which is the new Aux Hub or Box and a pair of new thick USB Cables) that plugs in between the new AUX HUB and CMU (silver unit under the touchscreen inside dash).
With this new 74.00.324A Firmware Update the system works much faster and smoother, but you do not have to
do the CP/AA Conversion if you do not want to, this 74.00.324A is the Final Update for all Gen 6 cars and always remains CP/AA ready, but again you must buy and install parts to Activate it, there is no other way.
DO not install CarPlayTM-AndroidAuto Parts until you have updated Firmware FIRST. If you install new parts first AND THEN 74.00.324A Firmware CarPlayTM-AndroidAuto will Never Work, you must Reverse your parts installation 100%.
Anyway I strongly recommend you update your Mazda (MZD) Connect Firmware to the bug free update.
We can no longer freely add any download links in open car forums, however I can privately supply you this update via the forums 'Message' system, just click on my AVATAR and see the message box in bottom right corner, click on this to start a Conversation with me.
So in this message I need to know some detail about what Version you are currently using, for NDs in 99% of cases you ONLY Need to do this ONE Update, but we must check for your cars well being before you run update.
I ONLY Issue Genuine Mazda Firmware and ONLY go by the Mazda Dealer Instructions (.Pdf).
Please I do not do AIO Tweaks at all as it is way too old and has too many bugs, sorry please do not ask about it as I cannot help you, my recommendation is if you have Tweaks is to now install this latest 74.00.324A and it will automatically remove car back to stock.
So, there is Basically 3 different Regions or Country firmware types to upgrade, either EU N (Europe or UK), NA N USA, Canada and Mexico) and 4A N (ADR) Australia, NZ, ME, South Africa and parts of Asia.
I cannot obtain any specific Japan or JP M Firmware at all.
