Did Mazda update the infotainment system part way through the 2021 model year?
Are there 2 possible Navigation SD cards for a 2021 CX-5 depending on when it was made in that model year?
Mine was manufactured in 09/20 and in Canada is a 2021 model. The ebay vendor sells SD cards for 2017-2020 models and for 2021-2022 models.
I ordered the 2021-2022 card as my CX-5 is a 2021. Now I'm not sure as the use of the navigation system seems different on the two cards. The newer on showing a circle of numbers and letters and using the large console chrome ****. The older card seems to show a semicircle of features.
(I not sure if I have the 10.5" screen. I seem to be maybe 9 to 9.5" and the different feature are in a semicircle and you rotate the console control **** to move from one to another)
Any ideas? All help appreciated. Maybe I'm just talking through my hat.

There have been three screens so far. They started with a 7" touchscreen then went to an 8" touchscreen and currently have a 10.25" NON touchscreen. If your screen is way wider than it is tall, you likely have the 10.25". Also if it isn't touchscreen, its the 10.25" Canada was a bit different than the US for the screens and switched at different times from what I have seen. They also had wireless AA/CP capability on the 8" screen which we didn't get in the US. Can you snap a pic of your screen and add it to a post? The 10.25 screen (below) has the newer interface.
