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.

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

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?

Storing stations by name....No
It only stores by number.
I have the DVD/NAV system with the 6 CD changer. You need to press the LOAD/Eject button you'll be presented with the ICONs for all 6 CDs and the display screen will tilt out to show the cd loading location. Press the CD location you want to load and the system will tell you when to load the CD (or eject).
 
The sound system will only display MP3 label tags of CDs burnt accordingly. It will not display names of traditionally burnt music CDs.

>> It will not display names of traditionally burnt music CDs.
I think it is the burner (software). Some high-end burner supports CD-text,
most don't.
Even most original CDs (especially older ones) don't contain CD-text.
Get a good burner software and add the text (title, album, artist, etc.) yourself.

An "E" version can be found here.
http://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda-navigation-disk.html
However, E may not be the newest. I have heard about the "F" version.
Note that the version number for 2009 is different. 2009 has a different NAVI system. A DVD disk also carries some software updates. A DVD disk of 2007-2008 won't work on 2009 and vice versa.
