Mazda has announced that 2014 vehicles with Mazda Connect can now get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via a dealer installed update.

This dealer-installed update includes both hardware and software components.

Both infotainment technologies first appeared this summer in the 2018 Mazda6 and are available in the 2019 Mazda CX-9 and 2019 Mazda CX-5.

Customers with applicable Mazda vehicles can schedule an appointment (requires approximately two service hours) with their local Mazda dealerships to have the service performed. The upgrade has a suggested retail price of $199 (MSRP) + Labor.
