FOND DU LAC, Wis., Nov. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Though more models from the current Mazda lineup are starting to come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, Holiday Mazda is giving Mazda drivers the chance to upgrade many older models with the improved infotainment technology.
Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow smartphone apps to better integrate with properly equipped infotainment systems. Functionality includes many of the popular apps including the native navigation features of both Apple and Android smartphones. Music and audio apps including Pandora and Spotify can also be fully accessed and utilized from Mazda models equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The upgrade from Holiday Mazda costs $320 for parts and installation.
All 2016 Mazda models and newer have the upgrade available, though the 2017 and 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata needs to be the Club trim or higher to qualify. The 2015 Mazda3 Sport and above as well as the 2014 Mazda3 Touring and above both also offer the upgrade. Some model restrictions may apply. For more information on which models have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto upgradeability, interested Mazda drivers can visit the upgrade page on the Holiday Mazda website.
