Well our installation was a disaster. After 6 hours in gave us a courtesy car to drive the 20 miles home. Aiming for Monday now but dealer is scratching his head as to what to do.
I thought it was a straightforward job.

Please excuse me if I am a complete thicky but I just wanted to clarify something. I have a brand Harry spanking new CX3 with the two USBs on the console. Can I just download the necessary firmware to get CarPlay? I fear not, but just needed some kind person to tell me so, and what a thicky I am.
Yes, you need new hardware unless you ordered your car with CarPlay fitted.Stuart_Caine wrote: ↑Sat Sep 15, 2018 7:43 pm Please excuse me if I am a complete thicky but I just wanted to clarify something.

He should have written "no, hardware and software required" rather than "no hardware and software required". The addition (or omission) of a small comma makes a big difference.

We’ll let you off, Mark.
Now, more importantly, if my wife’s CX-3 isn’t ready tomorrow we’ll be having words. The dealer has had the car since 08:30 Friday and still hasn’t sorted out the CarPlay integration.

After 2.5 days SG Petch have given up. Getting reimbursed. Anyone know a Mazda dealer in the north east who can do it?

Update: got the car home and the dealer has managed to update the car’s OS to v70xxxxxx. So what’s left to do to complete the installation?
