Controlling Multiple CX-30 Features with a Smartphone

Before you do can control anything via mobile device in your CX-30, you need to add your CX-30 to your MyMazda account. Once that’s done, you can start accessing information and controlling the many different features available to you. You can view multiple different categories of diagnostic information, like overall vehicle health. Not sure if how full your gas tank is? Check on your phone. Need to directions to the place you’re headed? Program the route before you leave. Is it too warm or hot outside? Start your vehicle and set the climate control. This is just the beginning. It can do so much more.

How Much Does It Cost?

Absolutely nothing for the first three years. Not a single penny. You get full access to all the Remote, Vehicle Health, and Navigation services. No features are hidden behind paywalls or any such nonsense. You get three years to thoroughly test out all the features. After that period is up, a yearly subscription starts at around $8 per month. And if you find yourself not using some features, you don’t have to subscribe to that category of services.

Interested?

We don’t blame you. If you’d like to learn more about the CX-30, the MyMazda app, and Mazda connected services, we’d be happy to chat.
