a group of scholars decided to ‘hack’ the infotainment system of Mazda cars to install the new ecosystem of Google, Android Auto. Although the procedure void the warranty given by the manufacturer so we can access the Android Auto features in Mazda CMU systems.
While working, Android Auto installed through a ‘hack’ has many ‘bugs’ ‘crashes’ and other strange problems such as the CMU system permanently display the date January 1, 1970, being the fixed clock at midnight which has clear implications for the screen color scheme is always in night mode.
video Through see that the basic functions of Android Auto are fully operational, despite being presented little fluidly. But if you’re desperate to use Google’s new system for automobiles this is a hypothesis with some validity.
The installation should be done by someone experienced in sending custom applications via USB to the CMU system of Mazda. Then there to read some more procedures, since this hack for infotainment systems Mazda is not ‘plug and play’.
The CMU system Mazda is the main requirement for this Android Auto installation. This optional team models Mazda 3 produced only from 2016, despite the CMU system has been around since 2014 in the brand.
Despite this ‘hack’ nothing indicates that Mazda currently is working on the implementation of Android Auto these vehicles. The Japanese manufacturer is a member of the alliance of automakers Open Automotive Alliance and partner for Android Auto platform, but this method is based on reverse engineering and invalidate any manufacturer’s warranty
