Hello, I have mazda3 2018 and it’s not support apple carplay , is there any way to install it in my car?
Hey Qais, yes, Mazda dealers can install it in your Mazda as long as it has the Uconnect system. I believe it costs around $350 at most dealerships (Disclaimer: Not a mazda rep, I just know a lot about Mazdas)
Hey Calin, you should be able to get back to normal settings by unplugging the phone. Also, for reconnecting your phone to Bluetooth, try going to the Settings, Devices, and searching for your phone (make sure your phone is in Bluetooth mode and that you can find your Mazda on it.

For some reason when I am using a map app through CarPlay, the speed limit indicator disappears from my hud and speedometer screen on the dash. It’s very annoying. Is it suppose to do that? I have an iPhone 8 and 2020 Mazda 3 Sport
