Mazda CX-30 upgrades, generation by generation.

Dash cams and wireless CarPlay adapters on 2019 to 2023 cars, followed by reversing cameras on entry trims that came without one. The CX-30 shares its dashboard and Mazda Connect with the Mazda 3 BP, so the same parts and routes apply to both.

No. The interior fuse box is behind the panel under the steering column, so the cable runs from there up the A-pillar and along the headliner, and a low-voltage cut-off protects the battery in parking mode. The mild-hybrid cars keep a normal 12 V battery, so the wiring is the same.

DM — 2019–2023: Mazda Connect with an 8.8-inch screen and the Commander knob; wired CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory, Bose on higher trims. DM update — 2023 on: Mazda Connect with the Commander knob, a 10.25-inch screen on most trims; CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory, wireless CarPlay on most cars. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.

CarPlay: Factory CarPlay on every CX-30; wireless adapter on wired cars and region changes on imports. Reversing camera: Factory-style camera on the Mazda Connect screen with guidelines on cars that came without one. Dash cam: Hardwired from the driver's side fuse box with a low-voltage cut-off, cameras hidden in the headliner. Car radio: Larger Android screen with the factory buttons and amplifier kept, where the original display is too small. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED kits in doors and dash, extended factory ambient on newer cars, app controlled. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Parking sensors: Four rear sensors and a beeper that speeds up as you close in; nothing on the screen. Subwoofer: Under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the factory unit, boot space kept. Soundproofing: Doors and floor treated with butyl and foam, trim refitted without marks.

CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Reversing camera: two to three hours. Dash cam: one to two hours for a front camera, about two with a rear camera. Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. Most CX-30 owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

DM: the Mazda Connect with an 8.8-inch screen and the Commander knob; wired CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory, Bose on higher trims stays and we add to it. DM update: the Mazda Connect with the Commander knob, a 10.25-inch screen on most trims; CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory, wireless CarPlay on most cars stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.
