Worst radio ever designed. Anyone replace theirs yet? What did you put in?

 

Far from the truth...I recall the days of AM radio and a single crappy speaker in the middle of the dash...

 

I find it to be one of the best. It's very easy to learn and works perfectly.

 

My Audi MMI is seamless. The System in the CX 5 is a convoluted mess. Just my opinion, the CX-5 is the wife's car. Otherwise, we love the vehicle.

 

Hardly.

 

Compared to what?
Speaking as an Audiophile and love quality reproduced music, I personally am very hyper critical of stock sound systems the one in your Mazda is not that bad.
So what are to comparing this with?
If it is based on your other response as a new member, I will suggest the same thing to you here. Take some time read your owner's manual how to operate the stereo and then without driving anywhere sit in your New Mazda and learn how everything works. I think once you do that you will have different thought about the system, and it design and the music reproduction?

Now dont take this wrong but a few members close or at your age have mentioned that they don't hear the musical tones and notes as they once did a few years or decades ago .
And we all are needing to actually study that 200+ page owners manual on all the features and controls of many new vehicles.

 

Just like in my 67 Mustang Convertible that I am still driving! The entertainment system is lousy, but I sure look cool when driving it!

 

if you're speaking of the interface/controls...totally agree...quite a mess

 

The first response is generally based on a user not completely reading the operation manual and assume they know how things work based on their impression how things should work.


I hope the OP that started this thread is not a pilot..
