If your main concern is that you don't want contacts syncing, then after you pair over Bluetooth, you can uncheck the contact sync option on the CX-9 Bluetooth/phone menu. You may also be able to reject contact access in Android when it pairs to the car (my phone pops up with a confirmation...

My CX-9 beeps once when I move more than a few feet away to notify that it will auto-lock and then actually beeps/locks when I get around 5-6 feet away from it (when I am actually walking away the vehicle or around back to the other side, though I don't know if the lock function is based on time...

If that were really the case then Mazda (or any other manufacturer) would not allow you to unlock all doors using the keyfob because someone could get in the car before you. The real reason/issue is that to have a feature like MattGoose is looking for would cost additional money and Mazda does...

It's sort of an involved process, but you can read about it here: http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/2014-2017-mazda-3-skyactiv-audio-electronics/180578-mazda-mzd-connect-firmware-downloads-updated.html. It's a relatively easy, but time consuming and high risk procedure (you risk bricking your...

Just updated my car to 59.00.540 yesterday afternoon (along with Feb 2018 maps update and Gracenote update to v8). I haven't had a chance to drive in it yet and see how everything works but when I do I'll report back if I notice any bugs/improvements.

Only if you mess something up and damage a system/part of the car that is under warranty

You're looking at Navigation "extras" for ROW (rest of world). Since US doesn't have WiFi enabled Navigation for real-time traffic I don't think there are actually any extras that you can buy for the US. To update Navigation SD card, you'll need to download the Mazda toolbox program to your...

What do you mean by "extras"?

Thanks! Such a simple thing, I wish I had noticed this too. Seems Mazda still has the wrong link on their own site for the North American Gracenote update. However, the NA update is hosted on the same server so we just need to manually fix the link. ADR is for...

Confirmed my car is still at v7 for music database (to which I had updated when CMU was at v441). Updated CMU to v502 in the fall and last week it would not recognize music database v8 at all. I updated CMU to v504 the other day and tried again - still no luck. I'm hoping it's just a fluke and...

Did you remove the Navigation SD card first? With the car off, eject the SD card, turn on the car in accessory mode, then insert USB drive. When I first started playing around with mods/tweaks I had similar problem and it was solved by making sure that SD card had been ejected first. I thought...

Same thing is happening on my car too. I installed the previous music database update with no issues but the car will not recognize the October 2017 update (version 8). Going to try again later today with a different thumb drive if I can find one in the house.

on MY2017: once it's open to desired height, push and hold the liftgate close button (on bottom of liftgate) for about 3 seconds until it beeps. This sets the opening height. Not sure if it's like this on all years but it may help. NB: on my car even after programming the height to max setting...

Have people been experiencing the "vibration" more frequently in the cold weather, especially after sitting overnight? I think this was/is happening with my car too but really only when it's below ~40 degrees F and it seems to go away after a few minutes of driving at higher speeds (above 50 or...

Aeems like all Canadian models and US MY2018 models have good/quick heat. That leaves US MY2016-2017 models as having issues with heat in the extreme cold. Does anyone know if the thermostat is different between US and Canadian models? Or is there something special setting for cold weather that...

Similar experience with 2017 GT model as well. In Syracuse, NY area it's been as cold as -15F but I've only driven it when it's been above 0F. It does seem to take a long time to fully heat up - about 15-20 minutes of driving. I noticed yesterday when temperature was in the single digits that...

I've had my '17 for 4 months now and have run into the same issues as you. As far as I can tell, the voice recognition is garbage. I have Android Auto installed and it recognizes/understands my commands correctly 99% of the time. On the other hand, Mazda navigation only works maybe 5% of the...

Good, but not great. I'm only 5'10"-5'11" and the thigh support seems a little short. And minimal lumbar support/adjustability - shame that it's not a full 4-way adjustable lumbar support on a car at this price point. Also, cushioning almost seems too soft - I prefer firmer cushioning/contours...

This my first Mazda and while I've been pretty happy with the car since I got it there are some issues/annoyances I've encountered in the first 3+ months of ownership/leasing. My previous cars have all been European: Volvo, Saab, Audi, VW so I'm somewhat used to how those cars operate and...
