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

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. |

I totally understand the safety aspect of not doing entries while driving. From time to time I am on the freeway, and want to have my passenger insert another destination? Is there a way to do it without stopping the vehicle? Thanks!

My new 2009 CX-9 Grand Touring has the nav. However, even though I've set the user setting to Auto from Daytime or Nighttime, it isn't switching. It continues to just have the Daytime setting. This is extremely distracting at night and a complete pain when I can only switch it manually to nighttime when I'm stopped. Is this normal? My last car switched automatically and it was great. Any advice? Thanks!
