Replying to: jake64 (Apr 30, 2009 6:21 pm) It only stores by number. I have the DVD/NAV system with the 6 CD changer. You need to press the LOAD/Eject button you'll be presented with the ICONs for all 6 CDs and the display screen will tilt out to show the cd loading location. Press the CD location you want to load and the system will tell you when to load the CD (or eject). The sound system will only display MP3 label tags of CDs burnt accordingly. It will not display names of traditionally burnt music CDs.

Replying to: howardru (Apr 30, 2009 6:39 pm) I think it is the burner (software). Some high-end burner supports CD-text, most don't. Even most original CDs (especially older ones) don't contain CD-text. Get a good burner software and add the text (title, album, artist, etc.) yourself. |

Does anyone know what maps are used in the 2008 CX 9 Nav System and how and where to get a renewal?

Replying to: okeyobiozo (May 31, 2009 5:05 am) http://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda-navigation-disk.html However, E may not be the newest. I have heard about the "F" version. Note that the version number for 2009 is different. 2009 has a different NAVI system. A DVD disk also carries some software updates. A DVD disk of 2007-2008 won't work on 2009 and vice versa. |

I've been waiting for a DVD update for my 09 CX-9 for six months now (it still has an 07 version DVD in it) and the dealer finally told me to file a complaint with Mazda Customer Service. I called them and the agent apologized up and down and swore that it's a supplier issue and that Mazda is well aware of the problem. He also said he'd put me on the "complaint" list and that people on the list will receive all new information as soon as it's available! I'd encourage as many of you as possible to call Mazda to complain (800-222-5500) since it's not right to have an out-dated map when you have paid for the option in good faith!

Replying to: my3rdrx (Jun 06, 2009 3:20 pm) However, assuming that your 09 CX9 was made at the end of 2008, it is not unusual to have 1-year old DVD on NAVI system. I have NAVI on 3 vehicles I have owned, it has been that way for all three. (1 Honda, 1 Toyota, 1 Mazda) I am impressed by Mazda corporate service. The fact that they actually "apologize" to you....

I just bought a 2009 CX9 today. I am happy with the car overall, but the navigation system is pretty bad. I picked up the car from a dealer about 60 miles away. On the way back decided to try the navigation system, The Quick route was 246 miles! telling me to go through all the side streets before getting on a freeway far away, rather than taking the most direct route. I checked the settings and everything seems fine. There seem to be quite a number of negative comments about the nav system, dated back to like 2 years ago. Does anyone know if there is a fix or one in the works? Thanks!

Replying to: lpch (Jun 27, 2009 11:55 pm) I'm at 14 months and 11,500 miles with several material warranty issues, and local service managers/service departments refusing to work honestly with me (either saying they can't replicate the issues, or saying I'm over the 12month/12,000 mile portion of the warranty, so sorry). I've set up a case and am awaiting regional response from Mazda corporate, and I've talked to a lawyer to see whether arbitration, buyback under lemon law, or tort action is a viable alternative. Not a great place to be. On the other hand, Honda has stepped up and fixed the warranty issues on my '09 Fit (less than half the cost of CX-9) in a fair manner. Mazda may still rectify as I step up my recourses, but they've lost my future business due to the shoddy service network and dishonest warranty administration. Sad part is, the CX-9 itself is a pretty nice vehicle with decent fit/finish overall. Hope you enjoy the vehicle, and have little to no need for your warranty. Good luck. |

Replying to: lpch (Jun 27, 2009 11:55 pm) The map on a 2009 is old (2006 version). The newer "B" version is delayed for whatever reason. Ask your dealer about it. Or, you might want to tune the cost function of routing. I found that turning ON Prefer Toll Road seems to give more reasonable routes. Try it. Also, you might want to set "speed" for highway, local, expressway etc. They all combined into a routing cost function to compute your routes. The only problem I ever experienced was the NAVI wanted me to change 3 highways so that it could save 1 mile (out of 300miles) for me. THANKS A LOT!  P.S. my CX9 only had 1 small window issue after 19K miles. Still solid like day 1. |
