I also have this popping sound on a Mazda CX5 2019. My unit is specific to my car which I have DuduOS3.6 beta 5 installed and the original Mazda OS.
Is it save to update with the Dudu MCU in this thread so I can give it a try?

Are there any other improvements to this MCU besides the 5 sec amp delay?
