#19 of 77 How to unlock Mazda 3's trip computer. by jc22 Feb 20, 2007 (1:37 pm)
Thanks to Andreas of Mazda3Forums I was able to unlock my trip computer on my 07 Mazda 3. It works for 06 too! Sorry, but this hack does not work for earlier models.      1. Press and hold down CD and AM/FM buttons 2. Start your car while still pressing down on those buttons 3. The display will read, "DIS ON" which means Driver Information System On. 4. Release the CD and AM/FM buttons 5. Turn off and restart the car 6. Now press the Set button and cycle through your avg. mpg, miles until empty, current mpg, and avg mph!      Now you can truly know your Real MPG numbers! Which is a mixed blessing!      Please pass this info to others!      JC Replies to this message: jc22 (Feb 21, 2007 6:54 am) mazdrvr (Feb 21, 2007 9:47 pm) wosw7 (Feb 22, 2007 6:21 am) d_hyper (Feb 27, 2007 12:43 pm) clang001 (Dec 06, 2007 5:27 pm) cin1982 (Mar 14, 2008 6:56 pm) stonejk (Apr 16, 2008 3:59 am) and 1 more... silstarnz (Apr 25, 2007 7:22 pm) mj1986 (Jul 23, 2007 9:46 am) psy (Jul 24, 2007 4:51 pm) jc22 (Aug 16, 2007 10:22 am) wetarded1 (Aug 27, 2007 8:47 am) and 8 more... sergiox2x2x (Dec 16, 2007 11:35 am) and 5 more... weihl165 (Sep 12, 2007 1:30 pm) ayhamed (Sep 16, 2007 3:45 am)

Start your car while still pressing down on those buttons 3. The LCD display will read, "DIS ON" which means Driver Information System On. 4. Release the CD and AM/FM buttons 5.

Replying to: jc22 (Feb 21, 2007 6:54 am) So this will work on all trims of the 3 (s sport...)? *dumb ques, its not bad for the engine to keep turning on & off the car? Replies to this message: wosw7 (Feb 22, 2007 6:21 am) d_hyper (Feb 27, 2007 12:43 pm)

Replying to: mazdrvr (Feb 21, 2007 9:47 pm) You don't need to start the engine you just need to turn the key enough to supply power to the radio. This should work on all Trims since they all come with basically the same stereo.

Replying to: mazdrvr (Feb 21, 2007 9:47 pm) You only need to do this once anyway.
