Hi all, picked up a 2018 Grand Touring today and really liking it. I was a bit disappointed to find out Apple Car Play started with the 2019. But then I was encouraged to see that Mazda will retrofit it for a fee. Has anyone done this and how much was it? Thanks in advance and glad to join the family!

Here you go and welcome to cx-5 club!


I have not done it as I bought 2020 cx-5 but it looks very doable.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your CX-5. The local Mazda dealer here asks about $400 to do the retrofit. I ended up getting a really good magnetic phone holder and use my smartphone directly over bluetooth.
