are you supposed to get 3 updates, or 3 years? Because I apparently had 3 years (2017 Mazda3), but never once updated the maps. should i be entitled to at least a couple?
"should i be entitled to at least a couple?"
Nope, once the three years is up, you're SOL.
I bought the CX with factory nav and at that time the terms of service for my subscription stated that I had three updates available to me for three years. That's what I got, and the Mazda ToolBox counted down the updates for me.
In 2019 I purchased a used 2016 MX-5 that did not have the factory nav card included. I purchased an Amazon card and after sorting a defective card I was able to use the card in my Miata. After driving the required 63 miles with the card inserted (mates the card to your VIN), I removed the card and updated it with the ToolBox. When I did that the system informed me that I had three years of unlimited updates available, different than what the system told me about my CX version.
I used, what I thought was, my last update on this card a short time ago, right before the 08/22 update was released. The ToolBox clearly told me that this was my last update. Then, just for the heck of it, I decided to try the update again after the new version was released. I started the ToolBox and the program told me that there was a new version of the ToolBox available, and do I want to update it? Yes, I did. After this update was done the program then told me that the terms of service had changed and that I had additional updates available and would I like to update at this time, I did.
YMMV
