See TouchTune

Mazda gates touch on speed. Above 5 mph, taps are ignored.

Mazda Connect reads vehicle speed from the car's network. Above about 8 km/h (5 mph) it suppresses touch input across the whole interface: native navigation, settings, and CarPlay go dead together while the display keeps updating. The commander knob is exempt, so it keeps working at any speed.

How the lockout works

Set up your car. Install from USB.

Touch while moving is on in every ScreenTune package unless you switch it off.

Buy, then set up your car.
After checkout, enter your VIN and confirm your firmware. Add AA Touch on the add-ons step for Android Auto. It's free.
Install your package.
Use your configured ScreenTune USB package. Afterward, Applications → Miatafy → What's installed lists “Touch controls while driving.”
Check it with a passenger.
Above walking pace, have a passenger tap a Mazda menu or CarPlay. It should respond.

Does the commander knob still work?

Yes. The commander knob, steering-wheel buttons, and voice controls work exactly as they do stock. Touch while moving only removes the speed lockout on the touchscreen.

Does it work in Android Auto?

Stock Gen 6 Mazda Connect does not accept touch in Android Auto at all, parked or moving. ScreenTune’s AA Touch adds tap, swipe, drag, and keyboard input. TouchTune does not change Android Auto.

Is touch while moving on by default?

Yes. Every ScreenTune package includes it unless you switch it off during car setup. You can turn it off or back on later from Change features in My ScreenTune.

Which Mazdas does it work on?

Gen 6 Mazda Connect cars on firmware 74.00.324. Check it on the car under Settings → System → About → Version Information. Older versions can be updated first. If ScreenTune won’t install on your car, you get a full refund.

Should I get TouchTune instead?

If the only thing you want is touch at speed in Mazda menus and CarPlay, TouchTune does that one job. It is free on GitHub, or $29 on a preloaded USB, and it was bench-tested on North American v74.00.324A. ScreenTune adds Android Auto touch, faster startup, Meters, custom home screens, and a package built for your firmware and feature choices.

Can I undo it?

Yes. Turn Touch while moving off in Change features and install the updated package, or use REMOVE, which takes ScreenTune off the car and restores the speed-restriction settings saved at the first install.

Who is responsible for using the screen safely?

The driver. Touch while moving turns off a lock Mazda ships enabled. Use the screen safely and follow your local distracted-driving laws.
