Some good news I guess for owners of 2020 DM Mazda CX-30 Base Model that did not come with working Factory CarPlay and Android Auto.
This feature activation can now be done ONLY via a Mazda Service Dealer using MDARS (Mazda Dealer and Repair Software), Access with correct Mazda VCM-II (pass-through) and Dealer Online Portal.
There is NO addition hardware (parts) that has to be installed.
About a 10 minute operation done by your Mazda Dealer.
Which must have latest MDARS on PC and Latest .kwi Firmware NA01_11012 Installed in the Cars CMU.
This Activation apples to North American NA01..
2020 DM Mazda CX-30 in Standard Base Trim. (also 2019-2020 BP Mazda 3 ).
I believe other countries/regions will follow soon (about 3 months) which sold the Base Models.
The cost, well that is up to Mazda Dealer Service Department, if you bought the car from them it should be done for free. (IMO)
Added below the How To .Pdf from MNAO to their Mazda Dealers, again this is ONLY for the Base Model CX-30 and 2019~ Mazda3 (BP) which came from factory without CP/AA, NO NEW PARTS ARE NEEDED, Only Mazda Connect Firmware from version 11012 or later like 12004 is the minimum Firmware requirement.
