-The potential hardware update is probably something like Ford did to add Carplay to 2016 models with a replacement USB hub to meet Apple requirements, whereas if you just wanted to run Android Auto you wouldn't need the new hardware. An update of the MZD firmware does not enable new features. It is only bugfixing. So if you have no problems, I would not spend the money & stick with the current version. Exception: If you update and install the new usb hub and 2 new cables for Android Auto/Apple Carplay - this would enable new features -> Android Auto + Apple Carplay. Apple says the first vehicles to support the new system will be announced in late 2023 (yes, late next year), although it has already confirmed a long list of partner brands, including Ford, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, Honda, Acura, Jaguar, Land Rover, Audi, Nissan, Renault, Volvo, Polestar and Porsche.
