The Mazda CX-5 and Apple Car Play

The 2020 Mazda CX-5 has plenty of connectivity options for smartphone users. All of your favorite iPhone apps are along for the ride, thanks to Mazda’s full integration with Apple CarPlay. Your device is completely merged with your driving experience, keeping you safe, connected, and in control.

Apple CarPlay

The amazing Apple CarPlay keeps you totally in touch with your world. Everything you care about is just a voice command or a touch away. The system allows drivers to:

• Hear text messages
• Get Siri suggestions
• Play music from your iTunes library
• Listen to music streaming apps
• Check out the latest podcasts
• Get directions

Apple Music

Your music soundtrack can make or break your day, and Apple CarPlay gives you easy access to all your favorite tunes. Just ask Siri to access your Apple Music subscription soundtrack, and control it using only your voice. 

Siri Voice Control

Speaking of voice, Siri Voice Control is the main aspect of Apple CarPlay. Using your hands to control your phone is dangerous, and illegal in many states. Use your voice instead, with Siri Voice Control in the Mazda CX-5 to manage all your daily tasks.

Text Messages

Staying in touch via text is simple with Apple CarPlay. It reads your text messages aloud, and the power of Siri Voice Control lets you dictate texts and send them to anyone in your contacts list, all while you’re cruising down the road. Listening to texts through the Mazda CX-5’s speaker system is a safe way to stay in touch with friends, family, and business associates.

Maps

Apple Maps has the power to get you efficiently and safely to your destination. It finds locations anywhere in the world and gives you turn-by-turn directions and an immersive 3D experience. Apple CarPlay fully integrates Apple Maps with the Mazda CX-5, and can even find addresses buried in text messages, emails, and calendar entries. 

Phone

It’s true, people still make phone calls these days, and with Siri Voice Control and Apple CarPlay, it’s now safe to chat while driving. Not only does Apple CarPlay offer hands-free calling, but it also lets you listen to your voice mail messages and return your missed phone calls.

Compatible Apps

Apple CarPlay is fully compatible with most third-party iPhone apps. Some of the most popular CarPlay apps include Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, WhatsApp, Waze, CBS Radio, NPR One, Tidal, and Waze. You can even access some Google apps including Google Play Music and Google Maps. Bring your favorite audiobooks along for the ride with the Audiobooks, Audible, and Overcast apps.

Android Auto

If you’re an Android user, don’t worry. The Mazda CX-5 has Android Auto, with most of the safe features as Apple CarPlay. With Android Auto, you have access to all your smartphone apps, and it gives you the ability to access your playlists and podcasts, make hands-free calls, listen to text messages, and navigate to anywhere you want to go.

Whether you have an iPhone or an Android phone, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Mazda CX-5 keeps drivers safe and fully in touch with their world, wherever they may roam.
