Hi all. Has anyone tried one of these? They appear to be a great idea and not very expensive, but before buying one I thought I'd ask here first. Cheers.

I'm pretty certain that the CX-3 infotainment system isn't compatible with those.

As far as I'm aware they all need you to have a headunit that allows you to install your own apps, which MZD Connect does not.

If you want Apple CarPlay/Andoid Auto in a CX-3 you can either install unofficial tweaks to the operating system software, or install the official Mazda kit.
