This Worked for me! This is currently the only method possible since Mazda closed the way of installing your tweaks and Android Auto via a simple USB flash drive. This describes the serial connection method.

will this void the warranty?
I have android auto on my 2018 Mazda 2 but I have a few things I am not sure about.
Can use android auto without cable using only Bluetooth?
And the second question is nothing is happening when I touch the screen only if I use that joystick next to the hand break. Is that normal?
Does it work on Mazda 3 2014
Do you or anyone else know if this method will work on a 2018 CX-5? I assume the Firmware is just about the same on all Models/Trims but I just want some reinsurance. Thanks 🙂
Awesome Tutorial BTW!
whats the difference between this mod and the new usb unit with the genuine aa??, or theres no differene between them? do you still get the same features as the "genuine" one??, thanks
hey so one thing i don’t understand is what the other set of cables are for, they said you need a USB to TTL which i now know how to use but they also said you need some other wires? i didn’t see any mention of those, also for the ground cable do you cut the top off and put it under a screw?
thanks for the video btw
This is awesome and very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
