Apple CarPlay use-related issues

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

Apple CarPlay cannot launch even though an Apple-genuine connector cord is inserted into the USB port and it is connected to my iPhone.

You used the wrong USB port.

Use the USB port displaying the mark to start Apple CarPlay.

The error message, “Mobile device error” is displayed after connecting my iPhone to the USB port.

There is mis-communication between the vehicle's audio system and your iPhone.

Disconnect the connector cord from the USB port once and then reconnect it.

Voice recognition using Siri is poor or incorrect for commands or contact names.

There are many possible reasons for this such as:

  1. Poor network connectivity

  2. Road noise/sound of air blowing from air conditioner

  3. Incorrect iPhone language setting

  1. Use the commander switch to complete the task or wait until there is sufficient network connectivity before using Siri again.

  2. For better voice recognition, speak loud and clear.

  3. Make sure that the iPhone language is set correctly (Example: US English vs UK English).

If you are still having difficulty using Siri, visit the Apple support site or contact Apple.

Bluetooth® Device pairing, connection problems

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

Unable to perform pairing.

―

Make sure that the Bluetooth® device is compatible with the Bluetooth® unit, and that Bluetooth® and Find Mode*1 are on and the airplane mode is off in the Bluetooth® device setting. Turn off the power of the Bluetooth® device once, then turn it back on. If pairing is still not possible after this, contact an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) or Mazda Bluetooth® Hands-Free Customer Service.

Delete the pairing information for unused Bluetooth® devices.

If it takes time for an automatic connection even though the above operation has been done, do a manual connection.

Unable to perform pairing.

The Bluetooth® function and the Find Mode/Visible setting*1 on the device may turn off automatically after a period of time has elapsed depending on the device.
