The rise of the smartphone brought about a wave of apps that are designed to make life easier and more convenient. For those of us who are smartphone users, our mobile devices have turned into our personal assistants, helping us with our day-to-day activities in ways that we never could have imagined 20 years ago. Mazda owners are fortunate to have access to the MyMazda app, which is designed to link you to your vehicle through your smartphone.
What Does the MyMazda App Do?
First and foremost, the MyMazda App connects you to your car. It gives you status updates on your vehicle and offers you the ability to control certain features of your car from afar. At Bountiful Mazda in Utah, we want you to get the most out of your MyMazda app, so we’ve highlighted some of its key features. Using the MyMazda app is bound to improve your car-ownership experience by adding convenience, peace of mind, and safety to your driving escapades. Keep reading to learn about some of the most convenient features that the MyMazda App offers drivers.
View Maintenance Schedules
It’s easy to forget when you last changed your oil or rotated your tires. The MyMazda app allows you to enter information to keep track of when these events last occurred. You can instantly view the recommended maintenance schedule for your car to see if you’re due for a service. The app will allow you to add Bountiful Mazda as your preferred dealer so you can schedule an appointment for your next service with the touch of a button.
Additionally, the app will give you access to any special offers available from our service department. Just be sure to add Bountiful Mazda as your preferred dealer when you set up the app so you don’t miss out on our most recent offers.
Remote Start/Stop
On chilly mornings, you might want to get a head start on warming your car using the remote-start feature of the MyMazda app. Likewise, on hot summer days, you can cool your car at the touch of a button before getting in, allowing you to start your journey at a comfortable temperature. The same part of the app that starts your car will also stop it if you’re not quite ready to get in, and you can lock or unlock your car as needed too.
Find Your Vehicle
We’ve all done it at some point — parked our car and forgotten its location. If we’re lucky, it happens in a small area, such as a store parking lot, but it also often occurs when the stakes are higher, such as when we park on an unfamiliar street when visiting a new city. The MyMazda app has you covered: it instantly locates your vehicle, shows you a map, and even gives you information about how far it is from your current location. Rest assured that you’ll never lose your car as long as you have access to the MyMazda app.
Access Owners Manual and Guides
Gone are the days of digging through your glove box to look for your owners manual when you need to figure out how to do something, be it navigating the infotainment system or resetting your maintenance reminders. The MyMazda app puts the owners manual in the palm of your hand so you can easily swipe to find the information you need. You’ll also be pleased to know that there are many video tutorials loaded onto the app, so you can see exactly how things should be done.
Instantly View Vehicle Information
There are times when you might need your car’s vehicle identification number (VIN) or mileage information. With the MyMazda app, you have instant access to this information as soon as you open the app. You’ll immediately see your car’s VIN, odometer reading, trim level, engine spec, and other crucial information, such as tire pressure and whether your car doors are currently locked or unlocked.
Send-To-Car Navigation
If your Mazda is equipped with an in-car navigation system, you can search for your destination from the comfort of your home using the app and then instantly send the information to your car. You can plan a route with up to three destinations at a time, and as soon as you start your car, your navigation system will receive the route and start you on your journey.
Access Recall Information
In the rare event that Mazda issues a recall on one of its vehicles or components, you’ll be the first to know, thanks to the MyMazda app. You can immediately see if your vehicle has been part of any recall and then use the service schedule feature to get it taken care of without delay.
Who Can Use the MyMazda App?
The MyMazda app is available on many, but not all, Mazda models. Vehicles that are compatible with the MyMazda app are:
- 2019 Mazda3.
- 2020 Mazda3 and CX-30.
- 2021 Mazda3, CX-30, CX-5, and CX-9.

As you can see, the list grows every year. The MyMazda app is the way of the future, so you’ll most likely find more new cars added to the list of compatible vehicles every year.
In addition to having a car that’s equipped with the Mazda Connected Services, which are necessary to use the app, you’ll need either an Apple or Android smartphone.The features mentioned above are by no means a comprehensive list of what the MyMazda app has to offer.
