Dang! Thanks for sharing this. I'll play around with mine, and see if it works. Well done, to find a fix and share it.

The dealership did not find any issues (electrical, software, or settings.) I have to video my car every morning to 'catch it' doing it, so they can submit it Mazda.

Thanks for this info. I will print it and take it with me to my dealer tomorrow morning. I'll update this post when I get back. [skeptical me doesn't think they'll have an answer. 🤞]

Was this ever resolved, khashp? I've had the same issue as OP for several months. For me, it seems to only happen after the car has sat overnight. On days when I have to run errands, it happens the first time. Then, throughout the day, it does not happen. * I know how to program each seat...

I'm not sure where to get the current downloads, anymore.

Thanks. I just confirmed on Mazda's site that the Nav is a $450 accessory. It was included with my 2019 GT, so I just assumed... re Tow Hook - Oh. I didn't realize that. I thought I was missing a part. I guess a tow truck would never need/use that. I appreciate your insight. Thanks.

Yesterday, I leased a 2021 Grand Touring FWD (no package). Today, I noticed that there was no tow hook or Nav SD card. I texted the salesman, and he's stating that my particular trim level does not include those two items. I've never seen that before. Could that be true?

Just updated from 70.00.367A. Android Auto apps appear 'zoomed in'. Google Maps and Spotify were all I tested. Other - Radio maybe starts sooner. Disclaimer maybe goes away sooner.

This seems, more and more, like the front runner for my options. Thanks.

Nice to hear it worked out. Well done.

I appreciate your guidance, and looking out for me. We had leased twice before (Honda & VW), and had not exceeded the mileage. However, this time, our lives had just changed, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The benefit of leasing was that my monthly payments were half of what they'd be if I...

Thanks for the insights and advice. I never thought about selling it to those other car services. My lease ends in Sep, 2022. Based upon our usage, I'm expecting 60,000 miles (rather than 36,000), which converts to a $3,600 penalty. My buyout is $18,500.

I'm just over half-way thru the lease of a '19 GT, and I will be over the allocated mileage. Has anyone ever had Mazda (or Chase/Toyota) waive the excess mileage penalty if they re-leased another Mazda? I suspect that Mazda will stick to their guns, as I am going to be waaaayyy over. I've...

Then Well done. Now, that you've completed the steps once, next time you can follow my 1-page version of the instructions.
