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.

Try pushing in the left button by the tach as it sounds like you have it enabled in the bright mode?

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

Overriding the speed grey-out... by ceric

Look at what this guy did to his Vette,

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.

I couldn't agree more... Voice recognition is terrible, but the lockout feature is the worst. If I have a passenger in the car, there is no reason for the lockout!
This is so bad that it definitely reflects on Mazda. As long as there is no free update from Mazda sometime soon, I can and will not recommend the CX-9 to anyone.

So you're not going to recommend a great car to someone simply because the NAV locks out while you're driving? How about you just give your very important recommendation that the NAV is a pile of sh*t and if they can just pull over or enter their destination before they leave it would solve the problem. Or, you could just tell them not to get the NAV....

sirius radio station storing by jake64
Apr 30, 2009 (6:21 pm)
Reply
Does this system have the capability of storing the station in memory by name??? I can only get it to store station by number - so frustrating! I can also only get it to load one CD and it supposed to load 6.....
It wont read the name of a CD nor the song names....what am I missing here?
