Apple Carplay / Android Auto on CX-5 2015 Touring. I've got a used 2015 CX-5 with TomTom navigation, but it sucks so badly that I am really considering upgrading to carplay. I'm aware that my car is, unfortunately, one model year too old for the official retrofit and I have searched the sub for answers, but most of those posts appear to be 1
You'll see 0-60 times of 6.5 to 7.0 seconds, or about a second faster than the non-turbo CX-5, without much loss of fuel economy: 22 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, 24 mpg combined versus 24/30/26 mpg

Mazda6 Touring 2017. Getting mines done today, 2018 CX-5, i asked them about free retrofit, they said when they sold the CX-5 apple carplay was not accounted for in the price of the car, so it would not be free. Installation is $399.99. I just emailed my dealer and said it'd be $400 retrofit. Bought a 2018 CX-5 in May.

Ohh gotcha. I read on several other forums that the mazda navigation is supposed to remain once Apple Carplay is installed, so that's why I'm trying to crowd source a solution. Not that I don't love Apple Carplay, but it would be good to have the Mazda navigation as a backup in case I either don't have my phone or don't have service on it.

I then updated my iPhone XR to iOS 16.6.1 and now my success rate is about 98%. By the way, wireless CarPlay uses Bluetooth to establish connection and then uses WiFi for data exchange.
