The MZD Connect is also equipped with a Wireless LAN connection. To use this, connect to your Home WLAN or a portable Hotspot using the Devices menu in the Settings dialog. If you are in North America or Japan, the WLAN adapter may be disabled (due to Mazda discontinuing the Connected Car features in these regions).

Cars that have not been updated to this version are most likely open to attacks, albeit there are no reports of this issue being abused in any other way except to tweak infotainment dashboards.

Part 1: Virtual Machine

If you already know how to do this or are already on Ubuntu/Linux skip to part 2 These are instructions for Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04(64-bit) but any recent Mac OS and Linux distro should work just as well.

Part 2: From 0 to AA

Once Ubuntu is all set up this is the complete set of commands to take you from 0 to Android Auto in about 30-60 minutes:

Now you have the Android Auto Ubuntu Emulator Installed, every time you want to open the emulator back up you just enter the command:

I hope this will lead to more programmers who did not want to bother installing a new operating system or spend a lot of time figuring out how to set up the development environment and whatnot to contribute to the Android Auto project. I tried to make these instructions as simple, clear, and straightforward as possible but if there are any ambiguities or you have an improvement or suggestion for this tutorial shoot me an email. To all my fellow HaXors out there Happy Hacking!
NOTES: You may need to manually reconnect your phone if it is disconnected by AA. You need to have your phone in MTP mode (you can try PTP as well) to make the adb connection properly. if you are having trouble connecting you may be using an incompatible Bluetooth receiver.

Project Description

What about watching movies in your Mazda car? Yes, now it is possible with Mazda Media Player! No modification to car infrastructure (and IVI system), no additional devices required – just one Android app and WiFi connection!

“Mazda Connect” is new Mazda’s infotainment system which has been added to almost all latest (> 2014) models: Mazda 2, Mazda 3, Mazda 6, Mazda CX-3 and Mazda CX-5. Thanks to powerful hardware (i.MX6 ARM) and well-designed GUI, Mazda’s Engineers have managed to make one of the most intuitive and easy-to-use IVI system on the market. Unfortunately, this system is not as good as really could be! Do you want to watch movies directly from usb stick on main TFT screen? Do you want to watch TV in your car? Do you want to set/read/monitor some additional values not available through standard interface? Just download and support development of Mazda Media Player!

Mazda Media Player shows that feature-rich IVI systems are not reserved only for extremely expensive luxury cars!

Download

Finally pre-alpha version of Mazda Media Player is ready to download. After many problems with Google Play Store I’ve decided to distribute Mazda Media Player app directly through my homepage.

My Development Environment

After a few weeks of work on Mazda Media Player I had enough of sitting in the cold and dark garage :) Last week I decided to buy on Allegro (Polish online auction website) additional CMU unit. Finally I can develop and test Mazda Media Player sitting at a desk and drinking coffee – it should speed up MMP development :) Below you can find some photos of my new development environment:
