Replying to: gadgettechs (Apr 17, 2007 6:25 am) I ended up buying an all-wheel drive sport trim with the tech package (they didn't have the Touring with Tech Pack in stock). I added the following after market: - Custom Leather seats (with seat warmers) - Parrot BlueTooth module, which uses the same speaker as the nav (forward left) and mutes the nav voice when I'm on a call. - IPod dock, accessed from the center arm rest. The latter two were installed by ABT, which is a national electronics retailer, physically based closed to my dealership north of Chicago. If you're looking to get these after items installed, they might be able to help, or to direct you to a local retailer who can. Despite the Nav limitations, I love this baby. Also, people posting here have stated flatly that you cannot make changes while driving. Are you saying that the car needs to be in park, or is there some sensor that merely detects if you're moving (or the GPS itself indicates you're moving, I guess makes more sense). I AM able to make changes occasionally, but never when moving at a high rate of speed. Sometimes when I'm driving at slower speeds I can access these options (and in the city, I'm often moving slowly). Jason

Replying to: chicagojason (Aug 09, 2007 12:40 pm) For all functions to work, you need to be stopped, not parked. If you let up on the brake and start creeping forward, all functions continue to be accessible, but any speed above 5 MPH (or thereabouts), then most functions dim out. A couple exceptions: if you have set up a preset for "home", then that is always available, regardless of speed. The other nav option is emergency POIs - police, fire, rescue -those are always available. Hope that helps! Vince. |

I've been keeping track of when Mazda will release an update. First, the MazdaUSA website claims that NAVTEQ does updates. When I queried them late last year, they claimed DENSO Japan did updates. I queried DENSO. Denso responded that Mazda was responsible and so it goes. I've attached the email exchange: From: MazdaCustomerAssistance  mazdausa.com [mailto:MazdaCustomerAssistancemazdausa.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 5:14 PM To: vbbuilt verizon.net Subject: RE: Ownership & Maintenance - Accessories [INTR:233107] Hello Vincent, Thanks for contacting Mazda. I regretted to advised you this, but an agreement has not been reached between Navtech and Denso. We are currently waiting on further information from them. Again, thank you for contacting Mazda.

I have had our CX-7 almost one year and everytime I look there is no answer to the Update of information for the Navigation system. I was wondering why no one has answered Mr Blacks question of when are updates going to be available. I spent an extra $4,000 to include the Navigation system. I purchased a TOM TOM ONE for our Honda Ridgeline 3 months ago and have had at least 4 updates and two add on's. What is wrong with Madza that they cant get to the bottom of this. Rest assured that all my friends and relatives will learn fast, the poor service on this issue. We have a forum on Honda Ridgeline Owners club and things like this get covered and addressed promptly. It is one thing to build great automobiles, but it is more important that they are serviced and support backup are there always.

| The manual says that if you have navigation, the clock on the dash is automatically updated. I live in the Northwest, but my clock shows central time and there's no apparant way to change this. I've looked through the manual and on-screen menu ten times already. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, Chari | |
| A bit off topic but how many pre-sets can you have for the radio/satellite? 6,12,18? | |
