Replying to: ceric (Jun 02, 2008 8:45 am) The story is, it's buried (not deep, just not obvious) b/c it's touted as a feature on the GT (which I hear has an "INFO" button that lets the user get these readings). Just hold the FM/AM and CD buttons, turn your key to "ON" and hold the buttons, and you'll see DIS ON appear in the radio display. That "unlocks" the DIS, but then there's some other button - my mystery - which will actually display it. It was :00 in my 3. I'm thought it'd be the H or M button, but I tried those. I may have to try a battery reset. Replies to this message: ceric (Jun 02, 2008 3:52 pm) murrman67 (Jun 30, 2008 9:58 pm) ceric (Jul 02, 2008 2:04 pm) and 1 more... jay2800000 (Jul 14, 2008 11:20 am)

Replying to: vision54 (Jun 02, 2008 8:53 am) vision54, When I get back tonight, I will dig thru the workshop manual again to see if there is any mentioning of this procedure. Usually, a workshop manual will cover things like that so that service technician would know how to. I have a Prius. I love to monitor MPG while I drive. It trains you to be a better driver, MPG-wise. Replies to this message: murrman67 (Jun 30, 2008 9:58 pm) ceric (Jul 02, 2008 2:04 pm) nxs138 (Jul 03, 2008 8:06 pm)

Replying to: ceric (Jun 02, 2008 3:52 pm) Were you able to find the unlock procedure in the workshop manual? No further post on this topic so I'm wondering if it was a dead end. Please let us know the magic combination if you find it. Replies to this message: ceric (Jul 02, 2008 2:04 pm) nxs138 (Jul 03, 2008 8:06 pm)

Replying to: murrman67 (Jun 30, 2008 9:58 pm) No. I wasn't able to. I am considering ScanGuageII ($159). It provides much more than just MPG. Read it up and decide for yourself. Replies to this message: nxs138 (Jul 03, 2008 8:06 pm)

Replying to: ceric (Jul 02, 2008 2:04 pm) Do the 2009 models come with a better trip computer, i.e. mpg, miles til empty, etc? I wonder if the 07/08's could be compatible if it's only a software change...

It would be awesome if someone figures out a way to access the trip computer. The Australian CX-9 includes a trip computer and it has an "info" button on the head unit. I also remember reading somewhere that the U.S model has the trip computer as well but for some reason it's disabled.   Now that we found a way to unlock it we just need to figure out how to access it.

Replying to: vision54 (Jun 02, 2008 8:53 am) I tried this and had no Idea that you could unlock it. I presse the set button while the radio was on and it dispalyed everthing everyone posted.

Ok, I'm confused. Is there a way to display the trip computer or are we talking about the Mazda 3?

this is weird, why USA's Mazda vehicles doesnt have this feature ? we have it in the middle east, i own CX9 GT and we do have an Info button next to the clock button, it shows all trip infos + MPGs   i figured out that Autsralia's mazda's also have this button..

Replying to: blue_omg (Jul 19, 2008 12:28 am) So exactly WHERE is your Clock button????   Mine doesn't have a clock button. Is it on the center console surrounding the LCD display?   Click on the INTERIOR View and the image of the LCD on the 2nd Row, first on the left on the Mazda USA website right here....   http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=modelsGallery&v- ehicleCode=CX9   Is your button here? Are your buttons labeled differently? Do you have SAT? RTN, DISP?   Something really strange going on here. Can you upload a photo of where on yoru dash this button is on YOUR CX-9?
