Mazda Australia has previously confirmed that it would be offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support for models sold in the country, and that existing customers can opt for a retrofit for the MZD Connect system.
Now, CarAdvice reports that the cost of the retrofit will be AUD494.98 (RM1,461.23), according to a leaked dealer bulletin obtained by the publication. The source also detailed the costs of each component should customers want to purchase them separately, including the hub module (AUD202.28 or RM597.15) and cable harness (AUD101.12 or RM298.52)
In both Australia and Malaysia, the CX-9 is the first model to come with support for both iOS and Android car interfaces. The updated three-row SUV was introduced in our country earlier this month, where it also gained a 360-degree camera and cooling function for the front ventilated seats.
For now, it is not certain if Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be added to Mazda models sold in Malaysia in the future, or if a retrofit option will be made available to current owners. Interested?

AUD495 is small money in Australia but when it comes here, it won’t be RM1500. As always the case, it will be many times more. Expect to pay RM5000.

Yes. I own a 2018 cx-5 and would definitely want local Mazda dealer to provide this upgrade to existing customers, even if it’s a cost option.
LOL hard truth is local drivers must one hand holding the phone another hand on the steering.
android auto or apple carplay will be redundant technology local drivers hardly use…
I own a 2018 Mazda 2, and it runs Android Auto. Any Mazda with MZD already has all the hardware needed. You can just download it, copy to USB drive and run it on your car.
Its a $49.50 job, not a $495 job.
What the h*ll,
Example for, recently CX-5 updated with electric tailgate and the car price remains the same.
This time, if CX-5 updated with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto and remains the car price.. That will be so much disappointment on Mazda Malaysia.
existing cx5 owner wants mazda to increase the price , in order to preserve your resale value ? sour grapes.
The Auto Tail Gate is RM2,000 more added to the new car price. I have to pay when my car arrive fitted with it.
