Mazda CX 5 - 2018 , Apple Carplay option does not appear in the menu at all
Hello, my ffriend got an Mazda CX 5 - 2018 year and he bought a Carlinkit 5.0 a few days ago, but no matter what we cant connect his iphone to the mazda software screen. On youtube videos i saw people got Apple Carplay option when scrolling through the car option, but such an option does not appear with us.
What can we do?

I believe only the late model 2018 CX-5 have Apple Car Play.
If you can't access it may not be installed.
Will require a retro fit (software update) from Mazda.

I believe CarPlay didn't start until 2019 with Mazda
I've got a 2018 CX-5 and installed an aftermarket module and USB cords CarPlay works fine

That works too, but also requires require additional software and hardware the OP does not currently have.
