#91 of 131 Updated Maps by skr2 Dec 18, 2008 (5:23 am)
Purchased a GT 08 CX-9 last month and noticed that that the maps are really outdated, cant find roads in my community. Checked the version and found that the version was 2006. Has anybody found a way to get the updated maps. Did anybody have to pay to get it. Any help would be welcome. thanks Replies to this message: kbedwards (Dec 18, 2008 6:54 am) skr2 (Dec 18, 2008 1:06 pm) howardru (Dec 18, 2008 5:34 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: skr2 (Dec 18, 2008 5:23 am) That's really strange! I bought my 2008 GT in December 07 and it has the 2007 map version. Interesting. Did you buy a new one or used? If new, I would certainly let the dealer know and ask for the updated maps.

Replying to: kbedwards (Dec 18, 2008 6:54 am) I brought it new. I asked the dealer who asked me to talk to Mazda and they said that i would need to purchase the new version map DVD. Where did you buy your Mazda, would appreciate if i can get the dealership and location, i can write to Mazda with that information.

Replying to: skr2 (Dec 18, 2008 1:06 pm) The Disc should be a Rev C or Rev D at least. The latest is Rev E, but it probably won't in your car. Rev C came out about 1 year ago. Rev D started shiping around Jan/February 2008. The discs are labeled.   Anything older (Rev B or A and the dealer, or someone preparing your car, replaced your DVD with one on the lot or someone else's old DVD. They've cheated you and it will cost you $300 for the map that should have been included with your new car.   Call the dealer owner and complain. If they don't do anything find out the regional VP for Mazda operations and complain. Replies to this message: skr2 (Dec 19, 2008 5:30 am) skr2 (Jan 06, 2009 1:09 pm)

Replying to: howardru (Dec 18, 2008 5:34 pm) Thanks for the response. Really appreciate this. Will check the DVD to see what the Rev is.
#96 of 131 new dvd update by jho8 Dec 23, 2008 (1:47 pm)
Went to Navteq and found out they have update 2008 Dec DVD for Mazda 3 and RX8, will that work in CX9? Replies to this message: ceric (Dec 23, 2008 11:54 pm)

Replying to: jho8 (Dec 23, 2008 1:47 pm) I won't bet my money on it... A NAVI disk contains new map database and the software to display it for specific model. For example, some model may have a different resolution display than the other. Therefore, the software won't work on a wrong model.

Replying to: johnf59 (Jan 16, 2008 4:31 pm) Try pushing in the left button by the tach as it sounds like you have it enabled in the bright mode?

Replying to: howardru (Dec 18, 2008 5:34 pm) I would appreciate if anybody can tell me how to get the contact information for the regional VP for Mazda operations. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks in advance
#100 of 131 Overriding the speed grey-out... by ceric Jan 06, 2009 (4:11 pm)
Look at what this guy did to his Vette, http://www.southerncarparts.com/corvette-c6-nav-system-mod-ex-24.html   There is also a speed wire behind the CX9's Denso display. If we can install a switch like he did, this would make it the grey-out issue a history. First, we would need to find out which wire is the speed sensor input behind the unit. Installing the switch and locate it where you can easily reach should not be a problem.   P.S. coastaletech.com sells lockpick kits for Toyota/Lexus/GM/and soon Ford. However, none is available for Mazda CX9, though CX9 is using the same Denso system as Lexus and Toyota do.
