Hey all,

Sorry I've not been around, been slammed by exams. I believe my brother accidentally popped the SD card out without telling me, turns out putting it back in fixes the issue!

 

Hey guys, new owner here, where do I find the version on the system?

thanks,

The 2014 Mazda3 is not a TOMTOM GPS system. It's a Denzo GPS system.

Software updates fix most of the problems, but you will also see that with the update comes some greyed out options for the GPS...mainly local search and wifi connection. They disabled the features that let you wifi tether your phone to the system to update local traffic, weather and google searching for the GPS. Basically, they left you with a GPS that las less features than a $99 Garmin you can by on NOMORERACK.COM.

I called Mazda Care hotline and they didn't know anything about it but later got back to me saying Mazda disabled the feature and they don't know yet if they will bring it back or if they will come up with a "paid" service to link your GPS to get traffic and weather. Nice. You will eventually have to PAY for maps after three years of owning the car and they will try to soak you so that you can turn your GPS into something functional. Thanks Mazda!
