Auto Navigation switch from daytime to nighttime by rjp12
Oct 09, 2009 (3:59 am)
Reply
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!

Are you aware of the push button at the upper left corner of the instrumentation panel? It controls the brightness of auto/daytime of the dash. I think it also affects the NAVI system brightness as well. Try it. Mine is always set to bright/daytime no matter what. I haven't changed it since new.

I have the most current software available dated 2008 which does not have the
features you mention.

Must be new to the 2010 model. Someone at the dealership should be able to
answer your question or get the official answer from someone.
You could also call MAZDA directly 800 222-5500 - Let me know what you find out.

Real-time Traffic is new for 2010.
There are two kinds of Real-time traffic:
- FM based - like most portable GPS units with this feature. It picks up info from FM RDS system, and display icons to represent problem areas and highway/expressways slowdown in colors.
- Sirius/XM-based. This you will have to pay monthly fee for.
 
I don't know which system the 2010 NAVI system has. As mentioned above, call Mazdausa.com for details. Or, maybe someone with 2010 can explain more.
