Can You Use Apple Carplay Or Android Auto In Your 2018 Mazda6

Today’s vehicles are more connected than ever, with applications being accessible through touchscreen dashes. These music applications enable people to get their music right into the cabin of their vehicles. When you get CarPlay and Android Auto, you’re able to access your Apple and Android tunes through your dashboard control center, usually a touchscreen that gives you instant access to all of your apps. The Mazda6 didn’t originally come with this type of service, but Mazda recently announced the joyous news: Starting in November of 2018, you’ll be able to get both applications right in your Mazda6 cabin for you and all your passengers to enjoy.

2018 Mazda6 To Get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

The original announcement in September emphasized that while 6 didn’t come with CarPlay or Auto directly installed, customers could ask for an upgrade that allowed them to get both applications installed at a dealership. All you need to do is add them to your package and you’re off and on your way to some excellent musical experiences on the go. And this was already terrific news, considering Mazda announced that you could have the CarPlay and Auto packages installed free of charge at any of their dealerships.

In November 2018, more great news came along: Now the next line of 6’s are going to have CarPlay and Auto already installed so that you don’t have to go through the extra trouble of dragging your vehicle back to the dealership for an install. Of course, if you’re already a 6 owner, you’re still going to have to make the trip to the dealership for an install, but if you’re a potential 6 owner, you’ve got a lot of great things ahead of you if you buy the 6 after November. You’ll already have all of your great audio features installed without having to worry about any additional hassle. The result is a lot of happy Mazda customers to come, and it’s yet another terrific reason to buy the 6 for yourself and your family this year.

Appreciating the New Features

Since the announcement, people have yet another great reason to grab a 6 this year. The Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring have already been selling like crazy this year, as people appreciate the thrill of a sportier, flashier mid-size sedan that always drives bigger than it is. With a great starting engine like the Sport’s SKYACTIV®2-G 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine, you get 187 horsepower engine that really gets the job done (Sport and Touring models). You can push that all the way up to 250 horsepower via the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5T Dynamic Pressure Turbo DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine that is available with the Grand Touring. The Grand Touring also comes with beautiful 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels with Gun Metallic finish, SKYACTIV®2-Drive 6-Speed automatic transmission with Sport mode, and push button start, to name just a few amenities.

And now you’re going to be able to throw in CarPlay and Auto to boot. If you’ve already purchased one of the trims, all you have to do is go into your favorite dealership – hopefully ours – and ask us to install CarPlay or Auto in your vehicle. We’ll get straight to work and make sure that you’re enjoying your awesome music features by the end of the day, and you never have to worry about being charged for this. All the expense is on Mazda and us! This is the perfect time of year to grab an additional feature like this, as drives in the winter can be especially tedious and much longer than they seem with the weather. Some holiday music can cheer things up a whole lot on any morning or social commute.

Any Questions about CarPlay or Auto?

CarPlay and AndroidAuto remain the two biggest music applications in today’s very advanced, connected cars. You’re going to want to grab these two features if you want a full-on musical fiesta during every commute you make, whether it’s a trip to work or a trip out to play with friends. You’ll never want for a great lineup of tunes, and of course, Apple and Android both let you create customized playlists for all of your trips, as well as pick out terrific radio stations that are crafted to your liking. It’s the ultimate music experience that you can get in a vehicle today, and thanks to the response from Mazda, you’ll be able to get both of these in your vehicle, free of charge, if that’s what you want. Just call us with any questions you have! And if you don’t have any questions, call us today to schedule an install of Auto and CarPlay. We look forward to hooking you up with some great tunes.
