Default 2016 CX5 GT SD card reader

In 2016 Mazda moved the usb and aux in to in front of the shift ****, there is an SD card slot. My question is can you plug in an OEM card and have navigation?

Yes.

Everything is pre-fitted/preloaded. All you do is buy a Genuine Mazda SatNav SD card and your away laughing.

I don't know what brand Sat Nav is fitted in your country, but for NZ & OZ the old CX5 was colourful Tomtom & the newer 2015 ( 2016 in USA ) is a rather bland & horrible looking colour.

thank you, I'm in the USA, I just thought in this day and age that it would be more colorful a little disappointed in the lack of color!

2016 CX5 Touring model; I thought I read that you needed the SD card (located aside of USB ports) and a module (located in the panel which is located in front of the drivers left knee). Someone please confirm this. Thanks!!

Check your manual, I have the 2016 Mazda 6 it has it under the arrest next to the USB ports, the previous models had it at the left hand side of the steering wheel.
