Hello all

Picking up 2015 1.5 Sport Nav this afternoon and got a few queries please:

1 could someone post a link for the Android auto screen please as I definitely want this
2 I believe some have adaptive cruise control but not sure, if so is it any good as have read mixed reviews on ACC on other cars
3 do they have the duberry in them that stops you bring able to mistakenly put petrol into it or can you buy them, if the latter has anyone got any recommendations please

Thanks in advance and any other tips or advice gratefully received.

Thanks

Paul

1. Google "AliExpress Mazda android auto retrofit" and take your pick. £70-£80 delivered for a genuine kit.
2. Never seen one with ACC only CC.
3. You will need to buy a device to stop you missfueling as I once did!

1. You'll also need to upgrade the Operating System of the MZD Connect infotainment system, if current version is less than 70.00.100
Update files are not officially released to the general public, but can be found on the internet for DIY installation providing you can follow written instructions to the letter (e.g. https://www.cx3forum.com/threads/mazda- ... ted.11610/ )
Only then can the replacement USB hub and cables be installed; available from dealer, or from the likes of eBay and AliExpress.

Other tips: Make sure it's serviced on-time (when the spanner icon lights or every 12 months or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. Use 5W-30 or 0W-30 ACEA C3 engine oil.
Don't use a pressure washer near the door mirrors as they're prone to stop folding due to water ingress.
