Finding your software version (MZD Connect MKII and MKIII CX5 models)

[BigAl]

I know this has been posted elsewhere, but it's a bit buried (mods could you please pin this post?)

On main screen, scroll right to "Settings".
Go right to the 7th tab for "System"
Scroll down and select "About"
Scroll down and select "Version info"

As of today (12/02/16), THE CURRENT VERSIONS ARE:-

OS Version - 56.00.511 EU N
Music Database - 00.05.000
Failsafe OS - 56.00.511 EU N

This version was released in early Feb 2016 (I had it installed 09/02/16)

PS, can we please restrict replies to this simply to official Mazda updates to the version info as above (rather that debates regarding versions available elsewhere or for other models)?

How do you update the MZD?

[xtrailman]

I've had two carried out by the dealer.
But some had updated them selves.

This link explains what the 511 version does.

I would caution members to think carefully before undertaking any "Hack" of their CMU, especially as the information in the link, is not, from a genuine Mazda source.

Those who suggest this course of action and provide links to facilitate it, could do well to consider the consequences making this information available. In my opinion it is extremely irresponsible.

Do you really want to take the chance of turning yours or other peoples CMU's into something as useful as a brick.

Or am I the only person to see the peril involved ?

Finally there is something here that needs reiterating.

Some of us have had the software installed at the dealer.
All the link shows is the issues that the update is intended to resolve.

My update 511 was installed by my dealer, as was Alan's.

[xtrailman]

Latest version now appears to be 56.00.512.

I can confirm this OS works flawlessly, installed myself.

Do you know the change log for the 512 now available?

[p38cyq]

As per the German forum the 512 modifies (= improves) the calculation of the oil-change frequency for Diesel engines.

[xtrailman]

Is that something just for Germany?

In the uk its 12.5K miles or once a year, not variable to my knowledge.

[p38cyq]

Xtrailman,

It is somewhat more complex.

Yes, there are prescribed fixed oil-change intervals (here in Belgium : once in a year or 20.000 km, whichever comes first.)

But the engine software/sensors check also some other factors, such as the oil-dilution and the distance to the X-mark on the dipstick; thus it might calculate an earlier oil-change in the case of any developing problems.

[xtrailman]

Thanks p38cyq

I'll not be rushing to update mine then as everything is working ok at present, just wish they would mod the street name window so it didn't cover the phone and wifi data.

That's something I mentioned in the 8 page report I sent to Mazda 3 weeks ago...
