What Can You Do With the MyMazda App?

Your smartphone can completely change how you control your Mazda with the MyMazda app. It's like having your car keys, owner's manual, and mechanic all rolled into one. This handy app connects you directly to your car's systems, lets you track when you need service, and puts vehicle information right at your fingertips. Our team at Bountiful Mazda explores the many features of the MyMazda app to help you use all of its functionality.

Seamless Remote Control Options

The MyMazda app turns your phone into an extension of your vehicle. Start your engine before leaving the house, warm up your car while you finish breakfast, or cool it down before you drive home after work. The lock/unlock feature lets you secure your car or grant access without handing over actual keys.

If you're lost in an endless parking lot, the vehicle finder shows your car's last GPS location after you shut it off, with real-time map tracking, the exact parking address, a timestamp, and the distance from your current location. If you still can't spot it, hit "Flash Lights" and your horn beeps twice while hazard lights flash 10 times. The tools in your MyMazda app also let you check your car's health remotely.

You'll get these features for free initially. 2019-2024 models come with a three-year trial, while 2025 models have a one-year trial period, except the 2025 CX-70, which gets a three-year trial. After that, it's $10 monthly. The app works with 2019 Mazda3 and newer models, plus select CX-30, CX-5, CX-9, MX-30, and CX-90 vehicles. Currently, 66% of American drivers use connected car services, and by 2030, 96% of new cars worldwide will have smart features.

Maintenance and Vehicle Health

The MyMazda app has your exact mileage on file and has Mazda's full maintenance schedule programmed in. The smart system tailors recommendations based on your car's year, model, mileage, and driving patterns. It tracks upcoming maintenance, service appointments, service history, oil changes, and tire rotations. If you receive service at a Mazda dealer, it automatically saves that history.

If you're curious to know how your car's doing at any time, check the app. You can see the fuel level, tire pressure, door lock status, hood latch status, and any warning lights. This helps catch small issues before they become big problems. The app sends alerts for oil checks, maintenance needs, tire pressure warnings, and service reminders when due. If you have an electric or plug-in Mazda, the app helps you find charging stations, monitor charging progress, and handle ChargePoint payments.

You'll also get recall notices right in the app, which is key — 75% of American drivers rank safety as very important when car shopping. Smart cars could save you about $180 yearly by 2030 through better maintenance timing and early problem detection.

In-Car Navigation and Guidance

If you've ever planned a trip on your phone only to struggle trying to recreate it in your car's system, MyMazda's send-to-car navigation fixes that. Look up places, check different routes, and plan your journey while sipping coffee at home. Once you're ready, the route goes straight to your car's connected system.

If you're not sure how to use all your car's fancy tech, the app includes how-to guides and videos that walk you through everything from setting up Bluetooth to mastering the infotainment controls. Technology like this is in demand — 39% of people planning to buy a new car in the next two years say they're very likely to choose one with connected features.

Accessible Vehicle Information and Manuals

Printed owner's manuals are becoming a thing of the past. The MyMazda app puts your vehicle's specs at your fingertips, like the vehicle identification number, or VIN, engine details, trim information, and more. If you need to know something specific about your car, just tap the screen instead of flipping through hundreds of pages.

The app also includes driver profiles, getting-started guides, and videos explaining features you might not even know your car has. These resources are invaluable if you're a new owner still learning what all the buttons are for. Digital owner's manuals and guides are available anywhere, anytime — whether you're at home planning a DIY repair or stranded somewhere needing quick instructions. You'll get instant access to how-to guides and troubleshooting help specifically for your model and year.

Security Features for Peace of Mind

If you've ever wondered whether you locked your car after walking away from it, the MyMazda app's security alerts have you covered. It'll notify you if the doors are left unlocked, which is something your standard key fob can't do once you're out of range. You can check your vehicle's status anytime to determine if the doors, hood, and trunk are secure or if the hazard lights are on. These features give you one less thing to worry about during your busy day.

The 24/7 Roadside Assistance feature lets you contact help via email, phone, or directly through the app and track your assistance request with a reference number. The notification system keeps you updated about your vehicle so you can take action immediately if something's wrong. Research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows that connected cars could reduce pedestrian deaths by up to 50%, proving that apps such as MyMazda aren't just fancy features but potentially life-saving tools.

Essential Tips To Get Started

If you're ready to use the app, visit the Mazda USA website or download the MyMazda app directly from the App Store or Google Play. Setup is straightforward: create an account, verify ownership, and link the app to your car. After your free trial ends, pay $10 monthly and enjoy the convenience of monthly automatic renewal. Mazda accepts VISA, Mastercard, Discover, and AMEX. If you need help, call 800-222-5500.
