Check Your ScreenTune Install
Check the install in two passes. Most changes show right after the install restart. Startup changes show only on the next cold start, after the car has been off long enough for Mazda Connect to shut down fully.
Right after the install restart
Section titled “Right after the install restart”When Mazda Connect returns to its normal screen, remove the USB and check:
- The Miatafy app. Open Applications → Miatafy. It should show the licensed VIN and MATCHED TO THIS CAR. See the Miatafy app.
- Meters, if you chose it. Open Applications → Meters. Readings fill in once their sources are ready. See Getting started with Meters.
- The changes you can see without driving. Use the table below.
Each selected change and how to check it
Section titled “Each selected change and how to check it”The Your choice column uses the names from the configurator. The in-car list uses its own names, shown in the last column.
| Your choice | How to check | Name in WHAT’S INSTALLED |
|---|---|---|
| Touch while moving | Touch still responds once the car is moving. With Mazda navigation kept, the cluster compass still works. | Touch controls while driving |
| Skip the startup disclaimer | On a cold start, the tap-to-dismiss safety screen no longer appears. | Shorter startup experience |
| Remove the reverse-camera warning | In reverse, the “Please Check Surroundings For Safety” text is gone from the camera image. | Cleaner reverse camera view |
| Shorter page delay | In a long list, holding the commander in one direction starts scrolling sooner and scrolls faster. | Faster menu response |
| Loop the main menu | Turning past the last main-menu item continues to the first. | Looping main menu |
| Loop lists | Other scrollable lists wrap from the last item to the first. | Looping lists |
| Disable interface beeps | Menu beeps and some notification sounds are off. The car’s warning settings are unchanged. | Quieter system controls |
| Wireless CarPlay startup | On a cold start, wireless CarPlay connects sooner and opens by itself. | CarPlay auto foreground |
| Miatafy Meters | Meters is listed in Applications. | Miatafy Meters |
| AA Touch | Android Auto accepts taps, swipes, and the on-screen keyboard. | Android Auto touch support, Android Auto touch controls |
Not in the list. Less background logging, Keep recent screens ready, Fix message ordering, the faster startup work, and Mazda services you turned off run in the background and do not appear in WHAT’S INSTALLED. See Mazda services ScreenTune can turn off.
On the next cold start
Section titled “On the next cold start”Switch the car off, let Mazda Connect shut down, then start it again. Check the startup changes from the table, and the faster startup: the screen responds to touch sooner than before. The install restart is not a fair test. Boot benchmarks has the measured times.
The Miatafy app shows what is installed
Section titled “The Miatafy app shows what is installed”Applications → Miatafy is the in-car record of what ScreenTune installed. It shows:
- The licensed VIN, under LICENSED VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, with a status: MATCHED TO THIS CAR when the car’s VIN matches the license, VIN DOES NOT MATCH when it does not, or CURRENT VIN UNAVAILABLE before the car is fully on.
- A QR code. Scan it with your phone to open My ScreenTune for this car.
- WHAT’S INSTALLED. Opens Installed features with a count such as 8 FEATURES ACTIVE and one row per customer-facing change.
- EXPORT SUPPORT BUNDLE. Saves diagnostics to a USB drive for support. See export a support bundle.
If something is missing
Section titled “If something is missing”| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| A selected change is missing from WHAT’S INSTALLED or does not work | Run REPAIR with the same USB. If it is still missing, see a feature is missing. |
| Meters is not in Applications | Restart Mazda Connect once, then run REPAIR. See Meters troubleshooting. |
| VIN DOES NOT MATCH | The install is licensed to another VIN, for example after the Mazda Connect unit was replaced. See email and ownership changes and send support a photo of the Miatafy app screen. |
| CURRENT VIN UNAVAILABLE | Turn the ignition fully on and open the app again. |
| A change appears that you did not choose, or one you chose is not on your order | Compare with Your setup in My ScreenTune. To change it, see add or change features. |
