Did Mazda Roll Out an Update? Verbal Traffic Congestion Ahead Alerts

Good Morning Fellow Mazda CX-70 Peeps!

Does anyone know if Mazda rolled out a software update this weekend? All of the sudden my car is announcing Traffic Congestion Ahead verbally in my CX70 Turbo S Premium Plus. I've had the car nearly 3 months now and until this morning, the system has never verbally warned me of congestion ahead.
 
If I’m remembering correctly, this is an option in the navigation settings. I enabled it when I purchased 2 weeks ago. Perhaps it’s a new option with the maps software that got upgraded for you. I’ve always had it enabled. It needs some tweaking as I’ve had it broadcast congestion when there was only trees/buildings ahead. Other than that it works for the most part.

I tried to find the setting, but wasn't successful and yes, it announces there is congestion ahead, when often there isn't. It honestly just started announcing congestion this week and had never done that before. I didn't change any settings, so I'll have to look for it.

Ps: Anthony said he remembered you when were there Friday!
 
Perhaps I’m thinking about something else but if I come across it I’ll let you know.

Hopefully you told him I had only good things to say 😆.

So I suppose you made that trip and got everything sorted out with the buy back?

Please do let me know if you find where the setting is for this new feature.

Yes, I had to complain to Genesis about never hearing from the Transfer Agent, which got him to call me within an hour after going off on them. We signed the car over and got the check, Friday! Now all I need is for them to send the final payoff to Genesis Finance, which I've been told will be sent on Monday.

And yes, I did let Anthony know you had GREAT things to say about him and how much you appreciated them sending you home in a Lyft at their expense!
 
I believe the setting I’m thinking about was in here: Navigation -> Menu -> Nav Settings -> Traffic Settings. Maybe Voice Announcements or Online traffic events. Or, maybe it comes default with navigation and I only heard it after updating these settings as a coincidence.

I did have to make a full payment before Genesis finance decided to recognize the payout so you shouldn’t expect that right away unless that is determined based on your billing cycle.
 
My 5th car payment on the Genesis is due August 14th. As it stands, the payout they have on the Genesis side was determine before I made the 4th payment. I also spoke with Genesis Finance and told them I would not be making a payment on a car I have signed over to them and no longer own. They noted that in the account and said as long as Genesis paid off the car by August 24th, I would be fine. They'll owe me one car payment back once the car is paid off.

I'll look in the Navigation Menu for the traffic settings. Thanks for that! I kind of do miss the notification from the Genesis alerting you to a traffic camera at the next intersection ;)
 
I did find the setting, which I'm pretty sure wasn't there when I got the car about 3 months ago. It's in the Navigation Settings > Traffic > Announce

I turned it off. It's too sensitive and notifies of congestion ahead when there really isn't congestion ahead.

Thanks for your help on where to find the setting.
