Yep, this worked perfectly to turn the mileage computer on in my 07 Touring. BUT the big question is....why does Mazda hide this feature on the Touring!?!?!?!?!?

I believe the thinking is if the Touring had virtually all the bells & whistles that the so-called higher end models have ... fewer people would choose the higher end model.
A comment on the mileage computer. The Average MPG number mine spits out is not super accurate. Oddly, it's not consistent high or low, it varies +/- by up to 2 MPG. Considering it's a "computer" I think that's quite a bit of variation.

I have a 2008 Mazda 3i Touring.
I did step one, holding down FM/AM and CD buttons when turning on the car, and "DIS ON" displayed on the radio. Of course, since I don't have the GT version, I don't have an "INFO" button. I also do not have a "SET" button, except for the cruise control. Even though I can't imagine this is the button y'all are referring to, I tried it anyway, and it does nothing.
Here are the buttons on my radio: TIME, :00, FM/AM, SAT, CD, MEDIA. Is it the ":00" button? That doesn't seem to do anything either.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Ryan,
Those must be a few of the subltle differences between the '07 & '08. On the '07, the first button is "Clock," and the next is "Set." Try your ":00" button in place of the "Set," and let us know if it works.

this thing is so inaccurate though. the mileage goes down so quickly, even if im just going down the block.

Hitting ":00" does nothing in regards to the DIS. I have *not* tried hitting FM/AM and CD every time I turn on the car, so I may try that this afternoon.
