This highly anticipated update for 2018 Mazda6 Touring owners and above will enable drivers and passengers to access phone applications through the MAZDA CONNECT\u2122 infotainment system.<\/p>\n<p>Owners of 2018 Mazda6 Touring, Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve and Signature models should reach out and schedule an appointment with their local Mazda dealerships starting in September to have the upgrade service performed at no extra cost. The hardware and software updates take approximately two service hours to perform.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to installing Apple CarPlay\u2122 and Android Auto\u2122, those Mazda6 models upgraded will also receive a more powerful, faster-charging 2.1-amp USB port in addition to the latest software version of MAZDA CONNECT\u2122.<\/p>\n<p>Making the MAZDA CONNECT\u2122 integration unique is the use of Mazda&#8217;s Commander knob and buttons that ease the ability to switch between different user interfaces and manage the different capabilities. The integration adheres to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mazda.com\/en\/innovation\/technology\/philosophy\/cockpit\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mazda&#8217;s Heads-Up Cockpit<\/a> philosophy and was designed to help lessen cognitive distraction and even allow users to perform native functions and smartphone-based functions such as listening to terrestrial radio while simultaneously using a compatible phone-based navigation app.<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 Mazda6 is the first Mazda vehicle in <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span> to offer Apple CarPlay\u2122 and Android Auto\u2122 compatibility via dealership installation.<\/p>\n<p>Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in <span class=\"xn-location\">Irvine, California<\/span>, and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> through nearly 700 dealers.
