Perfecto
También instalé el módulo original de Mazda para activar Apple CarPlay (y Android Auto, aunque yo uso iPhone). Mi Mazda no venía con esta función de fábrica, pero después de investigar, decidí hacer la actualización y no me arrepiento.Compré el kit oficial que incluye el nuevo puerto USB doble y la actualización de software. La instalación fue un poco técnica, pero seguí algunos tutoriales y lo pude hacer yo mismo en un par de horas. Si no te animas, también puedes llevarlo a un taller o agencia.Desde que lo tengo, el sistema funciona perfecto. Todo se integra muy bien con la pantalla y los controles del volante. Puedo usar mapas, música, mensajes y hasta Siri sin problemas. Es una mejora total para el sistema de infoentretenimiento del coche.

You can do it!
This worked fantastic and saved a ton of money. As a novice it was a bit of an undertaking but if you have an open 5 hours and some patience, it can be done!!

Worked great for 3 months
Ordered and installed this unit on 8/1/23. In my 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring.Installation was pretty easy. As long as you are comfortable with carefully removing dash trim pieces and routing cables through your dash and console. The unit included foam padding to secure around the cabling to prevent chafing and rattling. Everything was included to perform a clean install if you take your time and consider the best paths to route and secure the cables.Make sure you check your vehicles firmware version prior to ordering. A firmware update can be intimidating and could possibly brick your car’s infotainment system if not done properly. Luckily mine was already several versions above the required version and didn’t require an update for this inst.11/12/23 started experiencing issues with car play disconnecting and reconnecting randomly while driving. I figured it was my cord so I ordered a new Apple certified cord. I immediately had the same problem with my new cord. I then tried my daughters iPhone with the new cord and had the same result. It’s frustrating but usually would connect and keep a connection to car play for a while when driving before occurring again.1/7/24 Apple car play no longer works with this device. Ive tried multiple Apple certified cables that work with car play in my other vehicles. This device no longer operates at all. I’ve opened up my dash and console again and have ensured all cable connections are tight. I can plug in my iPhone and it will charge but Apple car play will not connect and be displayed on my screen.3/22/24 it’s been a couple months without car play now. I’m frustrated and disappointed in this device as it worked well when first installed. I’m now looking for a similar device with better quality. At this time I would NOT purchase this product again or recommend anyone else purchase one as I did when I first installed it. Disappointed enough to write this review as I’m out the cost of this unit and hours of my time installing this device and then opening back up my dash and console to troubleshoot and inspect connections.I’ve seen comments from other people who’ve purchased and installed this device around the same time frame with the same exact issue. Calling out a faulty unit after only a few months. If it is a faulty unit, I would hope the manufacturer or seller wouldbe willing to replace the unit. I’m an electronics engineer who also has a background in mechanics I would be more than happy to send you back my faulty unit for failure analysis.Great concept but poor quality. A device of this sort should not start failing within 90 days of use in an automotive setting where it only gets maybe a couple hours of use each day. A total failure within 5 months of use is simply unacceptable for a product of this nature.

Did your car play / android auto stopped connecting
I'm sharing some feedback on my device in case anyone else runs into a similar problem I recently had.The device works great make sure you properly install everything and it's nice and secure. I used black tape in order to make sure the cable is in good shape.I currently use it with a carlink 5.0 for wireless.But at some point wired stopped working. Fast forward I had this device nearly 3 years. And my device suddenly stopped working. After much extensive trouble shooting thinking it was the wireless device I test it with another wireless and was having the same issue.I decided to look at the box and unplugged everything under my elbow arm rest which is where the box sits at and I unplugged everything and plug everything back in and the adapter started to magically work again.For anyone with a similar issue please uninstall and install the box cables before ordering a new one before disregarding this device. I've had it for nearly 3 years and its still working well.If I run into any more issues I'll do a follow up review but so far it works great.

Perfect replacement part;-)
Had the apple carplay installed on our 2016.5 CX-5 at the dealership years ago. The main usb connection on the hub became fussy which caused the bad connection with the apple carplay. Replaced the usb hub assembly and all is well;-)
