HMYC Mazda Wireless Carplay Retrofit Kit, TK78-66-9U0C OEM USB Hub Fits to MZD Connect System Compatible with Mazda 2/3/6/CX3/CX5/CX9/MX5 2014-2021(Only Supporting Wireless Carplay NO Android Auto)

Easy to install, clear instructions.

I don’t often write reviews, but felt I needed to in this case.I bought this unit 4 months ago and have been enjoying wireless CarPlay in my MX-5 since. That was until a week ago when it stopped working.I contacted their support via Amazon and I quickly had a response with some things to try to resolve the issue including resetting the car’s infotainment and upgrading the software in the CarPlay box (I didn’t know you can do this but you can and it’s easy). These options didn’t resolve the issue and so a new box was promptly sent to me via Special Delivery, arriving the next day. A quick swap later and my CarPlay was back up and running!I find a lot of companies can efficiently sell you something, but the true measure is if they can get their customer service right when things go wrong.In this instance the service was faultless and I was very impressed! I can recommend this box (which is very good) and this company.

Have installed the carplay unit in a CX-3 2019 about 4 months ago. The install is straight forward with good instructions and the unit comes with genuine mazda cables. Works wirelessly with iphones and wired with android devices. Touchscreen works fine out of the box when stationary and can be enabled to function whilst driving as well. I had several issues when using it with google maps but I believe this is a software related problem. The unit will crash or become unresponsive and the only way to wake it up was hard resetting the infotainment. As soon as I have uninstalled google maps from my phone (ios 18.2.1) I didn’t experience any other glitches or issues. Would recommend this carplay unit.

Just works - haven’t had any issues with connectivity. Easy enough to install.

Fitted to my Mazda 2. Had to update the firmware first. I bought the wireless version and works perfectly. Seller was very helpful. Very happy.

It was great for about two months. Now it restarts so frequently I want to remove it.

As others have said, as long as you watch the easy enough to find videos on YouTube this thing is easy to fit im no mechanic or auto electrician but with the right tools (trim removal and socket set) this install is easy and took about an hour going slowly…Wireless CarPlay connects via Bluetooth well. The initial set up was fine with my iPhone 14, I then set my wifes iPhone 14 up also (turned my Bluetooth off to prevent any pairing issues) this was far more ‘laggy’ with the unit becoming very slow and Siri activating for unknown reasons….. day 2 we have gone out to use the car and the infotainment unit screen was blank, turned the car off and on again and it sorted the issue but not as great as I hoped it would be, appreciate this is an aftermarket part and not an official Mazda item but for £130 thought it might be pretty close to flawless

Good

UPDATE: Hat zweieinhalb Jahre meist sehr gut funktioniert. Immer mal wieder gab es bei iOS Updates Probleme, aber diese hat Apple dann immer behoben. Seit iOS 26 (Beta), iOS 26.01 sowie aktuell iOS 26.1 RC verbindet sich mein iPhone 15 PRO Max nicht mehr mit dem Gerät. Es ist somit aktuell nicht mehr zu verwenden. Ich hoffe immer noch auf ein Update, das das Problem löst.Original Rezension:Ich hatte zunächst vor, die kabelgebundene original Carplay-Integration von Mazda installieren zu lassen. Dann habe ich dieses Gerät entdeckt. Meine Idee war: Wenn die wireless Integration nicht funktioniert, kann ich hier einfach auf wired umschalten. Ich muss dazu sagen, dass mir mein Mazda-Händler das Gerät installiert hat. Kosten ca. 140 Euro. Ich bin mir aber sicher, dass ich es, mit den diversen Youtube Videos, auch alleine geschafft hätte. Der Händler hat mir dabei auch gleich die neueste Software Version für das Mazda Infotainment installiert, was alleine schon 30-40 Minuten dauert.Bei mir war die Box direkt nach der Installation nicht auswählbar. Das hat mir sehr viel Kopfzerbrechen gemacht, hat sich aber über Nacht „von alleine“ gelöst, da der Mazda da wohl den Strom komplett von der Box nimmt, was zu einem Neustart führt. Am nächsten Morgen hat alles funktioniert.Mein iPhone 12 ist schnell genug für Carplay, alles läuft geschmeidig. Die einzelnen Navi-Apps sind unterschiedlich gut in Carplay integriert. Ich habe früher immer TomTom go verwendet, das jedoch nicht ganz so gut integriert ist, wie Apple Karten, oder Google Maps. Aber ALLES ist besser, als die „here“-Karten des original Navis, dass sich ja nicht richtig mit dem iPhone Hotspot verbinden lässt und daher keine aktuellen Verkehrsinfos liefert.Ich hatte übrigens direkt, als das Gerät scheinbar nicht funktionierte, den Support des chinesischen Herstellers per WhatsApp kontaktiert, der sich direkt zu „Bürozeiten“ in China gemeldet hat. Ich nutze das Gerät jetzt seit zwei Wochen und kann nur Positives sagen. Eine Kleinigkeit, die auch in einem anderen Kommentar hier zu lesen ist. Von den beiden USB Anschlüssen lädt nur der das iPhone, der nicht das Smartphone Symbol hat. Ich vermute dieser Anschluss ist nur bei Carplay via Kabel aktiv. Man kann also nicht zwei iPhones gleichzeitig laden.

Be warned! It’s definitely not as easy as it sounds to install. You need to run cables through your car from your existing head unit, down behind your aircon, and depending on the location of your USB hub, even through the centre console to your armrest. I have a Mazda 3 2014 (BM SP25 GT) model. I bought this thinking it would be a simple swap of the usb hub and maybe the cables were just short and needed to be changed over. Looking at the instructions it seems like it’s just a swap and change cable. The instructions are almost useless when it comes to running the cables through your car. After doing lots of research and watching lots of videos, I learnt how to pull apart my car and do that swap.It’s not that hard to do but it took me about 2 hours all up. That’s not including watching at least an hours worth of videos on how to remove the car parts. Plus about another hour to update the firmware. The firmware topic was actually really annoying to arrange because you can’t simply download the firmware online (at least for my car in Australia). I had to join a Mazda forum and ask for support and wait for someone to send me the link to download the file. I waited 24 hours for a response.All up I’ve spent at least 4-5 hours to get his competed in my specific scenario.In the end the product does exactly what it says, the only issue would be the installation is not specific so they can’t provide a video for every make and model car.I’ve only tested it so far (1 day) and it’s working perfectly. I purchased the wireless CarPlay model and that works as well as the wired CarPlay.I will update my review if I have any issues like some people have mentioned about wireless dropping out.

The wireless ability worked for a long time, then all of a sudden it just dropped midway through a drive last night. I have it set to the wireless capability by the SD card slot but to no avail. Upgraded the Mazda software to v74.000.324NA to see if that would fix it but still no luck. Wired works fine if I use a cable and set it. The bluetooth for the hub doesn’t appear at all now.Do yourself a favor and just buy the wired version.UPDATE: Customer service messaged me within 24 hours of this review and offered to send a replacement. I'll update this review as I see fit but overall they're a good seller.
