Perfect for Mazda 3 2014 Hatchback
Brilliant stuff!! Perfectly working for CarPlay. Haven’t tested android yet. Quick plug and play and fits right in. A bit of a work in taking out the dash but some video in youtube has excellent instructions how to fit it in with care. Bought the wired one but got myself a car play dongle instead of cord making it wireless! Seller also was very responsive with providing me details of the firmware I need to update my old Mazda with.

Great
Fantastic piece of kit. So easy to do. Also the update from them is bang on with simple instructions. Works a treat thank you

Works perfectly
Everything works fine. Installation process is not very easy, but still consider doable as a DIY if you follow the instructions on YouTube closely. Needs firmware updates, again follow YouTube tutorials strictly and you’ll be fine. All central console buttons works fine for CarPlay, as good as factory supported CarPlay. Recommended!

Works for iPhones not so much for my Samsung
This is in reference to 'Mazda TYPE-C Wireless Carplay Upgrade Kit, TK78-66-9U0C OEM Media Hub to MZD CONNECT, Compatible with Mazda 3/6/CX5/CX9/MX5 2014-2020 (Support Wireless Carplay, No Android Auto)' The install was a lot more straight forward than I'd expected. You'd do well looking on Youtube for an installation guide for it. I found that more useful than Mazda's own instructions. As for the hub, it works with my wife's iPhone just fine. It doesn't work with my Samsung Galaxy S24 however even when using the original USBC cable that came with the phone. The phone will charge but Android Auto doesn't notice it's connected to a car and the car doesn't notice the phone. I've tried different cables and tweaking USB settings on the phone but nothing has helped. I've read that AndroidAuto on Samsung phones is notoriously flaky so maybe it's not the hub's fault. 3 stars because it only half works for me which may not be an entirely fair score. UPDATE: The hub works either wirelessly which is only for Apple CarPlay or wired which is for Carplay AND Android Auto. This I knew. What I didn't realise, and I don't think the description makes clear, is that you physically have to switch between modes. There's a switch behind the flap that covers the SD card slot. You live and learn. I've added a star because they were very quick to respond to my question.

It didn't work
Everything connected properly. Installing it was easy in a mazda 3 2014. Worked well for the first trip to london. Coming back it didn't recognize the phone. Changed usb cables(tried official samsung, pixel and new iphone cables). Changed the phone and tried 2 pixels and 1 samsung(latest models). Sometimes it will recognize the device for few min and disconnect it again. It happened mid drive sometimes. Turning off and on the car won't make it work. Same issue, retrofit kit not recognizing the phones. Check the pic attached. It stays grey like that when the phone is connected.

Working fine, good value for Mazda 3
Went with the wired option and working fine. I looked at this as a two stage project. I initially updated the software about a week before so that I knew this was done and working, then bought the kit and installed. No real instructions but videos on YouTube. Bought a set of fascia removal tools for about £7 off Amazon though only used a couple. Mazda 3 fascia is pretty robust and comes off and clicks back in fine. Box is in the storage space between the seats on mine which makes access a easier. I took my time and probably a 90 min job for me. Big thing having google maps and well worth the money. Integrates really well the existing buttons for the info systems and touch screen still works. Amazing upgrade for the cost.

A great upgrade
Quite easy to install. You have to remove some trim and run a new cable to the head unit but it’s not too difficult. Once installed it works fine, my iPhone connects to it wirelessly once paired and i have had no problems at all.

Perfekte Nachrüstung – Wireless CarPlay funktioniert einwandfrei
Das Nachrüstkit hat meine Erwartungen voll erfüllt. Der Einbau war unkompliziert und gut machbar, da es sich um ein OEM-kompatibles Modul handelt, das perfekt mit dem Mazda MZD-Connect-System harmoniert. Alles passte ohne Basteln oder zusätzliche Anpassungen. Wireless CarPlay verbindet sich schnell und zuverlässig, ohne Verbindungsabbrüche oder Verzögerungen. Die Bedienung läuft flüssig, genauso wie bei einer ab Werk verbauten Lösung. Besonders angenehm ist, dass kein Kabel mehr nötig ist – ein echter Komfortgewinn im Alltag. Insgesamt eine sehr hochwertige Lösung mit tollem Funktionsumfang. Für alle Mazda-Fahrer, die Wireless CarPlay nachrüsten möchten, eine klare Kaufempfehlung und verdiente 5 Sterne! 🚗📱✨

Prima werkende apple carplay
Werkt prima! Inbouw in Mazda RX3 20218 met wireless CarPlay connection. Inbouw zelf gedaan met behulp YouTube. Aanrader.

Works great, with a little trick.
Fast delivery, works perfect. Has been using on my Mazda 2017 for a couple of months, and it works like a genuine part from Mazda. The installation was quite time costing (taking out the old part then installing this) due to the car's assembling of that area. I had to look for multiple guide videos to get it done (this is not the product's fault). The one real issue is: you have to disable the Auto Android's location access to make the navigation on car's screen work, other wise, it would jump back and forth between your home and current location.

Funciona a la perfección, buen upgrade para un Mazda
Funciona a la perfección, la instalación puede ser algo complicada pero para eso hay que ver videos de Youtube ya que no vienen instrucciones. Llevo dos semanas usándolo, la calidad del audio es mejor que antes, y la calidad en las llamadas también mejora muchisimo. Con el puerto usb c se carga muy rápido. Aun no he intentado usar el modo carplay por cable, ni el android auto, pero por lo pronto todo funciona muy bien, desde que prendo el carro en maximo 10 segundos se abre solo el carplay
