I've had my 2025 CX-50 for a few months and am disappointed by what I can't do while the vehicle is in motion. Even simple things like scrolling through a Pandora list will pause every couple of screens with a "Safety Delay", making you start all over again. This and all the other nanny nonsense is counter to safety. I want to fool the system into thinking the car is in Park.

Anyone done this, or have any idea on the best way to do it?

I bought a piece of hardware from a guy in Belarus for my Mercedes called "Video in Motion" that does this. It was $250 and well worth it. Works beautifully and my Mazda desperately needs something like this.

 

I would recommend to wait until you are out of Warranty. If you alter the BCM there will be a record of it in the ECU .

 

Thanks Callisto. Problem is I plan to sell the car at the end of the 3 year warranty, and while I own it I'd like to get maximum value.

 

So looking into your question what you want to do is controlled by the connect infotainment center . Likely not the BCM but not 100% sure about that?? I don't have a 2023-2025 Mazda to test and or experiment on in the shop and not sure my customers would allow me to anyway? lol
Honestly I can not see how to do what you want without changing the complete control unit with aftermarket soooo So maybe you should just contact Naviks direct and talk with them?

 

Thanks again Callisto. I'll email them and post results.
