Totally worked. Took about 20-25 minutes on my 2014 Mazda 3. I was able to use a PNY 32GB USB 3.2 drive with no issue. I did not hook up a trickle charger but my battery was just checked good and I'd been driving today. Only needed to download the one CMU150 file, that's it. Directions in the PDF worked perfectly.
Hello @DittyPitty, I just downloaded the zipped file to update my 55.something CMU. Do I have to unzip the file? If yes, do I have to delete the other files (those that are not .up)? Thanks for your help
@8:25 if you pop open that red vent plug on the oil container, it will prevent the oil from burping back up and will let it drain quicker into the cotainer.
A few of things need mentioning. We need to see in detail how to access the glove box and wiring there. There needs to be more deets on downloading and installing the firmware. There needs to be caveats that that non-OEM versions of AA/CP for Mazda are shit. They may work at best, 6 months then afterwards. they may stop altogether or randomly disconnect or reboot. While the intent of the video is great. A+.
Oh ok, thanks. Do you know if you can disable the system from charging the phone? Also, do you have any issues with it disconnecting randomly or it being very laggy and whatnot?
Too much work and complexity if you are not skilled. The risk of breaking too many parts and loosing or forgetting where the screws go is not worth it.
Thank you for a great tutorial! I have a question. In your OEM link, does that KIT include both the USB Hub and the necessary cables, or just either of those? Thanks!
What about steps 7-10? The installing the fail safe? Did you not do this? You don’t have to? If I have OS 55 does that mean if I install the 74.00.32 update that you have on google drive then it’ll work, even without installing the fail safe?
If you’re located in North America and your firmware is 55.00.650 or above then you can upload the firmware that is in the google drive. I personally skipped steps 7-10 but you can do them if you’d like for ease of mind.
Hi Dittypitty, do you have any idea why my reinstallation package keeps failing? after i get to the part where its preparing the process i end up with "Validation Failed - Failed to validate the package certificate." Im assuming the file is corrupted but i redownloaded the file 3x now and getting the same result. UPDATE: Downloaded it for the 4th time, but this time i verified the CMU150 file by using the MD5_and_Sha (you dont need this in your USB stick). I dont know if this is the reason why it worked or that the 4th download was the charm, but whatever the update worked. Thanks for the help Dittypitty.
Mazda3 2017, firmware upgrade worked well! Thank you for the video. It took me days and days trying to get the firmware but without luck until this video. Called the dealership and they wanted CAD 95 plus tax to do this firmware update!! Now that I followed your video and have it upgrade, I ordered the kit from Amazon and will install the hardware this weekend. Total savings 505 - 170!
@@winterMB91 I installed it yes and the installation went well. I don’t have an Android but Apple and the touchscreen on that is working. I got the wireless version of the Kit (from Amazon) and to those who are thinking about the wireless version please save yourself time and money and get wired instead. The wireless is not stable at all. To return it of course I can’t drill holes so I have to disassemble the whole middle console to take the kit out for a return.
Thank you sooo much i literally went through 5 videos and 2 repair kits that i broke and you are the video that saved me and shows visually really well how the parts go in together 🥲
Nice introduction to the truck. Hope to see more. And I agree with everyone about the quality of the video and you as a presenter. Keep up the good work.
Great video. This really helped me out especially when my car's lock tumbler slipped out of the assembly. Your instructions helped me line up everything correctly. Thank you.
