Adding GPS SD card to a 2022 CX5 Turbo

[ceric]

Just added a GPS SD card I bought to my 2022 CX5 Turbo, which did not come with the card (only Signature model does).
What it enables:
1. GPS map, of course, plus navigation guidance in HUD.
2. Sign/speed recognition. Signs show up in dash as well as in HUD.
3. Due to speed limit info being available now (from #2), there is a red line on the speedometer to indicate speed limit.

For $50 (saw one less than $40 on Amazon today), it is a bargain.
For $450 Mazda dealers ask for? Your call.
Just to share.

Only problem is I doubt you'll be able to do map updates. You should try and see if it tells you it's a counterfeit card. The one I bought from Amazon wouldn't update but the one I got with the GTR would.

I've updated my Amazon-obtained card installed in my 2020 CX-5 along with the OEM version in my MX-5 GT... there's been no difference over 2 updates between them.... of course ymmv depending on the source of the Amazon vendor.

Possible, but I don't plan to update it.
I will use AndroidAuto/googlemap if I have to.
