NOTE: It can take up to 14 hours for me to reply to you as I am in another country, please be patient. Do not download files from unknown sources as they offer zero support or can be completely wrong files.
Yes my files are Genuine Mazda files and I wish there was not a need to help Mazda owners as unfortunately Mazda Dealers are very poor at updating systems, many techs are still just too old school and reluctant to touch and even more sadly so many Service guys lie to your face, saying updates are done when they are not touched.
Do not rely on your Mazda Dealer to update your Firmware for Connect as most never will unless you complain of a specific issue or fault.
Unfortunately Mazda OTA (over the air if equipped) updates are also problematic, but one day Mazda will get on-top of it.
Gracenote (Music File Names etc) are not included with Standalone Connect Firmware Update, thanks to Marko here is a link from Mazda retail (Open to Public) to download yourself with latest available.
