Replying to: ceric (Jun 28, 2009 10:34 pm) I was in the stoneridge mall, right at the junction of I580 & I680. We were heading to twin-peaks in south san francisco. I did a POI lookup and selected guidance. It kept asking me to take I680 south to somewhere down south of san jose and then back to south SF for a total of ~200miles. I kept driving on I580 towards Baybridge and expected it to recalculate the route and show me the shorter distance, which was ~35 miles from where I started. But it never did. Even when I was close to Bay bride it kept asking me to exit and go back on I580 and drive >200 mi! it is another thing that the POI did not show me twin peaks when searching under south san francisco. But, as of now, i'm still happy with the vehicle overall.

Replying to: lpch (Jul 04, 2009 10:02 am) The last English letter in the part number is the disc version. Yours is mostly like an "A". e.g. For 2007-8, here is an "E" version part #: GP9A-66-DZ0E <--- "E"

Replying to: ceric (Jul 04, 2009 11:55 pm) Both my Rev D and Rev E say "2007 V.1" in the Version file on the actual disc. My wife's 2-day old 2009 CX-7 appears to have the exact same POS maps. The version info said the same via the touchscreen interface. I'll be pulling the disc in the next few days to see what the label says, however it appears to be the same as the Rev D and Rev E since a local interchange that was red-done over 2 years ago is still not correct on her disc. |

I just found out that Mazda is selling the DVD maps online for $199. The website is www.mazdanavigation.com

Replying to: navguy1 (Jul 10, 2009 11:13 am) As expected, for 2007-2008, the new version is "F" with 2008.1 map. For 2009-2010, the new version is "B", also with 2008.1 map. If you buy a 2009 CX9 today, you may still get the "A" version. Talk to your dealer about this before signing on the dotted line.

Does anyone know how to bypass the Safety Warning Screen on the 2009 Mazda CX9 Navigation Screen??? You know the screen the comes up just after you start the vehilce where you have to press the "AGREE" button before the mapping will show up. I want to bypass that screen so the map shows up instead of that stupid warning screen...is it possible to do?

Replying to: cx9owner (Aug 27, 2009 9:01 pm) coastaletech.com sells a kit to by pass those, but he has not worked on Mazda yet. Note that the customer service of that site is not 1st rated. It is a family business. Your email may never be answered. Just a heads-up.  To bypass the 5mph input lockout, you may - cut the SS (speed sensor) input to the NAVI (purple wire in the back of display) and install a two-way switch so that you can cut it whenever you want to input data. However, doing so will shock the NAVI for a while until it gets back on its senses. - A better hack is to install a pulse-generator with 555 IC (skip this if you don't understand). This fools the NAVI into thinking that you are driving slower than 5mph, therefore no lockout. (search the web, some guy even posted a circuit board layout for you for a weekend project if you are up for it.) P.S. SS input is in the form of a sequence of pulses at certain voltage. The frequency of pulses is proportional to the speed. |
