#56 of 133 Re: Mazda cx9 gps - address entry while driving? [ntermini] by ceric Feb 26, 2008 (12:23 am)
Replying to: ntermini (Feb 25, 2008 7:56 am) Look. Denso supplies NAVI to Toyota/Lexus. The systems on Toyota/Lexus have the same grey-out issue that people hate. Solution? CoastalETech.com sells kits to defeat such issues with NAVI system ("I AGREE", grey-out, etc.). For now, there is no kit for Mazda. Essentially what is needed to defeat the grey-out is to install a $2 switch in between the speed senor wire into the NAVI unit. Which wire? You probably need to find a service manual of CX-9 (ask your dealer to buy one) and dig into it. In case you are successful, don't forget to share with us.   P.S. the grey-out kicks in when speed >=5mph. Cut the speed sensor wire, and it will NEVER happen. So naturally, the best solution is to install a switch (so hidden that your MAZDA service technician will not find it ) Replies to this message: zotomomo (Feb 26, 2008 7:07 am)

Replying to: baxterdown (Apr 21, 2007 4:55 am) I have a CX-9 and the navigation does have this feature. If you push the compass in the top left corner it will give you this feature.
#59 of 133 Where is the Mute function? by kamiller42 Mar 11, 2008 (9:13 am)
Mazda took the mute button off the steering wheel and put the Nav button in its place. So how can I easily mute the radio? Right now, I have to reach across the console and turn it off. Replies to this message: maltb (Mar 11, 2008 9:20 am)

Replying to: kamiller42 (Mar 11, 2008 9:13 am) Yep, it looks like they ran out of space so there is no mute function. I think the easiest thing to do is hold down the volume switch on the steering wheel until it drops to zero. This really doesn't take more than a couple seconds if you hold the button.

Replying to: imamg (Jun 08, 2007 2:30 pm) Do you have any idea how to change/delete the address that is set in "Home". My kids set it incorrectly and I cannot find a way to edit it.

Replying to: btm2518 (Feb 25, 2008 1:01 pm) I contacted NAVTEQ and this is what they told me: Thank you for contacting NAVTEQ. Although Mazda uses our map data we neither produce nor distribute the disks for the CX-9. For information please contact your nearest authorized Mazda dealer.

#65 of 133 Mazda Nav is a ripoff by readyformyrl Apr 29, 2008 (5:36 pm)
Someone at Mazda needs to get a clue... how do I purchase a $2000 option that they decide when I can or can't use. Better yet, if they're that concerned about safety they would actually create a voice recogntion system similar to the new generation Acura RL or Infiniti's that will actually work.   I'm sad to say that I too (as many others have mentioned) broke down and purchased a portable Nav system just because the Mazda system stinks! This is beyond ridiculous. I have had three different built-in Acura navigation systems, the best being my current 05 Acura RL, the voice recognition works and you can still use the Nav regardless of your speed. So, does that mean Acura/Honda are not concerned about safety, not quite, they have a disclaimer and last I checked we're adults, it's no more distracting than all of the other options in our car.   What's next...... will Mazda lock up my stereo so I can't change the channels or maybe they should lock up the IPOD module when I'm driving, because looking for your favorite playlist or tune is more distracting than a Nav system anyway.   The newer Infiniti's lock up the same way, but the voice recognition I witnessed in an MX35 was amazing, maybe Mazda could take a look. If anyone has determined a fix, please let me know. Replies to this message: ceric (Apr 29, 2008 6:30 pm) readyformyrl (May 04, 2008 8:07 am) ceric (May 04, 2008 9:36 pm) and 2 more...
