The day I own a Celine Dion CD, please someone shoot me, but I hold no grudge against anyone enjoying her music.
 
Let me clarify: The CD Changer offered by Mazda comes in two flavors - one with MP3 support that offers CD Text support (from what I've been able to learn) and one that does not. If your CD Changer shows the MP3 symbol in the upper left-hand corner of the faceplate, then you have MP3 support. If it does not, then you don't. Mazda has told me directly that the MP3 supporting CD Changer does not work with the Bose system. I don't have NAV - so it's possible that the non-MP3 supporting CD Changer with Nav does have some intermittent support of text - but my non-NAV system does not.
 
If anyone has a CD Changer with Bose that DOES support MP3s - PLEASE post a photo of the faceplate here so we can see it. Numerous posts on this topic have been made. Mazda continues to claim that there is no MP3 support with the Bose system, a few people have submitted posts to the contrary - but have not followed up to requests to validate this.
 
If Mazda has updated the Bose system during the current model year run such that it does support MP3 CD Changer, I would be grateful for an update on this topic.

Text support is not the same as MP3.
 
Also, you will have better luck when you take a commercial CD, load it to your computer so it can download the proper tag information and then burn it to another disc (in standard CD audio format). I have found that very few commercial CDs have text.

Sorry I have no idea you dislike Celine so much. I swear, it's my wife's CD.
My CX-9 with NAVI and Moonroof (therefore upgraded Bose system w/ 10 speakers and center point) does have MP3 support. It has a MP3 logo on the
CD changer faceplate behind the display. And, I get CD text on some CDs, but not all. For instance, on Adrea Bocelli's new CD, it shows no text at all.

My dealer mentioned that MP3 support on my CX-9 was added at the port. The car came in early Feb, so not sure if build dates before that had them...

Just to clarify - MP3 support meaning CDs that are encoded with MP3 music is what I've been talking about. Not MP3 players plugged into the Aux.

Fascinating! Can you please do me a favor and send me a picture at your convenience? Mazda, my dealer, everyone I've talked to - all tell me that the Bose system (which I also have) does not support MP3 playback.

Thanks so much!

If you burn an audio CD with iTunes, there is an option to “include CD text.” If you click that, the information about the Artist and Song name from iTunes are shown in the CD display that I have (Bose w/sunroof & Nav). The “include CD text” option is not available if you are burning MP3 CD’s. My recently purchased CX-9 also has the MP3 logo on the faceplate behind the Nav screen.
 
I wouldn’t blame the Mazda sales guys since these things always seem to be changing as I found instructions in the manual that conflict with sales literature: Some places say that my system is their “Centerpoint” while other places say the Centerpoint system is the one that is part of the DVD entertainment system with 5.1 sound.

Both Bose stereo systems with DVD Ent package and Moonroof packages have CenterPoint feature. The former has more wattage (if that matters to anyone) and 1 more speaker (11) than the one with Moonroof package (10 speakers).
DVD Ent package and Moonroof package are exclusive to each other.

Sirius disabled Bluetooth by atlmazda

I just had the Sirius receiver installed and now my Bluetooth isn't functioning properly. It seems that the voice activation and calls are going through but I'm not getting any volume. The dealership said they would contact Mazda about the problem. I'm worried they're going to try to make me purchase a switchbox and don't feel like I should have to after spending $500 for the Sirius. How can I get the Bluetooth back up and running since it's one of my favorite and most used features?

Mazda ineptness continues..... by orlando7

Same thing happened to me... You have to take it back and have them wire it correctly. They gave me some crap excuse about a different wiring buss. When I got the car back it was fixed including some extra scratches on the dash and now a power outlet that didn't work. Took it to another dealer and learned that they just hadn't connected it! I've never seen such clowns and what I've had to deal with on this audio system. My advise...just go to another dealer...and don't bother with the one your using now! PS: You won't be able to use your i-pod connector anymore unless you fork out another $200 for another black box.
