Replying to: ceric (May 04, 2008 9:36 pm) It's no different than messing around with your stereo or IPOD. Is it really a safety feature? If that's the case, I believe Acura/Honda would probably follow suit if it was such an outstanding "safety feature." They sell a few cars, and they've certainly sold more with Nav technology in them. |

Hi, All of you CX-9ers with NAVI system: There are two hidden modes (disgnostic and test) in your CX-9's NAVI system. You are able to calibrate and check settings through it. If interested, please read the .xls in the link. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123676014 These modes are described in WorkShop Manual of Mazda CX-9. Yes, I got one from eBay. It is as thick as a phone book. I am still reading it. P.S. proceed at your own risk

What am I missing? I've been trying to program my home address into the "home" section of the destination menu; however, it is greyed out and does not respond to my touch prompts. Only the first three sections are highlighted and operational (i.e. "address", "point of interest", and "SOS emergency". The initial navigation setup was performed by the dealer, so I cannot state with certainty that the unit was activated properly, but it probably was. Could somebody please point me to the solution?

You'll see why later. 1) Hit Menu Button 2) Select Address Book 3) Select Memory Points/Home 4) Select List 5) Select Change until "Home" is shown at the title area 6) Select Home from list (it's the only item shown) 7) Map appears with "Edit Home Position" as the title At this point, the Home setting stuck. According to this other website you have to do the following, which was not required on mine. Possibly... You must use the joystick move the cursor to the coordinates where you want to set the Home position. If you've set the memory point for your home address, it's as easy as scrolling over to that point, aiming the crosshair to the point, and hitting Enter. Home point is now set!

Replying to: howardru (May 30, 2008 3:05 am) Does it make sense to purchase a $2000 NAV option, when you can get a good text to speech GPS for less than $200? Is the factory installation 10 times better? |
