New here, new to Mazda. I took delivery of a 2017 Mazda3 GT manual transmission this afternoon and I have thoroughly enjoyed the 50 miles I've got on it so far.
I have a decade-old iPod that has lived in my car for the last 6 years or so and bless its heart, it is invincible. However, getting it all set up this afternoon and I have found two things:
1. Every time I turn the infotainment system on and off, it restarts from the same track.
2. When I switch to the very next track on shuffle, the file changes but no sound comes out. Sometimes it stays at 0:00, sometimes time ticks off with no sound. If I go to the next one (the 3rd), it continues. The fix seems to be to pause the track and then press play again. Then everything is fine.
My preferred method of music listening is to just have the contents of that iPod on shuffle. Bluetooth works great but for a variety of reasons I prefer to play music off the iPod rather than my phone. I found a few threads (https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/sho...rom-the-first-song-every-time-you-restart-car) about this on other models and past years, and see that there is a Repair Bulletin for a replacement of the bluetooth module and that fixes the problem. Is it possible they built this brand new car without that fix?
Things I haven't tried yet (got this thing a few hours ago, give it time):
1. Text messages and whether they work or not on my iPhone, as this seems to be another problem the module replacement fixes
2. Plugging my iPhone in directly to USB to see if it's just an iPod problem.
Things I did have to do already: Hard reboot to fix the Nav not booting up.
Happy to report the heated steering wheel, radar cruise control and g-vectoring are all pretty sweet.
