| I'm disappointed that Mazda uses a Bose surround sound system and DVD player, but the wireless headsets are some cheap no name brand. Does anyone know if there is a better quality replacement that I can get from Best Buy or somewhere else? | |

I'll be buying a portable when I get my car. Yeah, I'll have a cord dangling, but it's much cheaper to buy, and much, much cheaper to upgrade.

Replying to: nxs138 (Nov 19, 2007 7:06 pm) an old postoffice (must be more than 10 years) is not showing up in its POI database, and it's directing me to somewhere farther away. None of the GPS systems on the market is fool proof, the only reason people hate the in-car systems so much is because of their outrageous price. If they were a $300 option, we will still hear complain but at least it's easier to forgive... |

The Navigation System manual comes with the CX-9 does not have a list of acceptable voice commands or what the system is expecting or can accept.... Does anyone know if is there a voice-command manual of any sort? I have the car for more than a month and still couldn't figure out how to use the voice-command to do stuff successfully (other than to go home). The MDX/honda Navi system is definitely way better.....

When setting map mode to auto the maual states that when your turn on the headlights the navigation is supposed to go into night mode. This does not work I have to manually place it there. I had the car check by a mazda tech he said it should just dim little. How anyone experience this

Replying to: johnf59 (Jan 16, 2008 4:31 pm) The Nav display is controlled by the dash illumination knob (Manual page 5-40) + headlights + Nav display mode. If the dash illumination knob is in the cancel position then the Nav display backlight will stay bright and the contrast scheme will stay in day mode even with auto select and the headlights on. However; if the dash illumination knob is active (so you can twist it to adjust dash light dimming) then the backlight for the Nav display will dim a little (that's probably what your tech was refering) AND the Nav auto display mode will toggle between the day color screen and the night reverse-contrast colors as you turn your headlights on and off. So the final behavior makes sense and is convenient but I didn't see any mention in the manuals of the tie-in with the dash illumination knob. -Jeff |

I noticed when driving you cannot enter a destination address into the GPS as all the options are grayed out. Does anyone know if this is a permanent safety feature? Can this be turned off? What if you want to have the passenger enter the address?
