Just for the heads up, 2014 M3 navigation comes with 2 traffic info without needs of WiFi.
1) Time to destination will update based on the traffic along the current route 2) Nav will automatically re-route if there is a way around a traffic jam Garmin & TomTom have been doing this for years and it works great. What this NAVTEQ system has is very primitive by comparison. Look through your music/audio files on those USB drives for non alphanumeric characters. Stuff like %, *, ; etc. These seem to trip up the system and lead to the crash you're experiencing. |

I'd be very surprised if this is the cause. I have a few thousand songs in Japanese (title/artist etc. are in Kanji) and the system has no trouble displaying the kanji on the screen and playing the files. I never had a crash while playing any of these songs either.
What I kind of suspect as a common cause of the crash is that: 1. When you use a USB drive with some automatic driver installation application in it, not a mere SD/miniSD card with adapter. 2. When the songs are not completely downloaded and has some missing bytes in it. But again, it's just my suspicion from experiences. |
My 3 is just three weeks new to me and the radio preset stations have disappeared twice now and when using the USB for music it has frozen a couple times. Has anyone had their issues fixed yet?

Mazda service called me and said he received a software update that is supposed to fix the nav and other problems so I am taking it in tomorrow, I'll post when I know for sure if it worked. Check with your service dept! Have a nice Thanksgiving!

Well I had the software update done the day after Thanksgiving and I have not lost the preset stations on the radio nor has the radio froze using the USB drive. The update was supposed to fix Navigation issues too but I cannot attest to that since I have not used it. The update took all of 15 min at the dealership. No more complaints from me at this time. I suggest calling your local dealership and get the software update ASAP. Good luck!

What is the version of the Infotainment update?
Don't want to make a trip to dealer if my car just off the ship already has the latest version.
|
I had mine updated yesterday. Took less than 1 hour.
Since then, no more hiccups or shut downs. Even the transition between the modes seem much faster and smoother. Also, I told the service dept. to take a look at my back seat for loose fastening, they did not want to help me out on that. They just say they can not do anything unless there is an immediate issue from it. |
