"All" your issues?? Haha! We all know the head unit is not the only issue with this car. I traded out my head unit almost as soon as I heard of/experienced the issue, after trying various homegrown workarounds. But this lack of concern from Mazda, taking over 2 years to fix a very simple problem, while claiming there was no issue for much of this time (works as designed...bulls***) piled on top of shaking mirrors and hoods, shoddy interior, noisy ride, etc was more than enough to send me back to Toyota. The Toyota quality makes Mazda look like a joke, and guess what? The stereo system is flawless....bonus! Add me to the list of people Mazda has lost as a customer for life. (hi)
If I were going to engineer a workaround I'd build something that would provide power to the radio externally on a (hidden?) switch somewhere to turn it off. During the day while using the car I'd turn it on so the infotainment system always had power, and at the end of the day/trip turn the switch off so as not to drain the battery.
Not solved for me... yet. I had my second replacement Bluetooth/USB module fail completely this morning. Given the fact that my CX-5 is only 6 months old and has now gone through 3 modules, and the current module and the previous replacement both failed within 4 weeks of being installed, it leaves me to conclude that they have bigger issues than just software functionality to fix. Been in contact with Mazda UK again this morning as not a happy bunny.
Oh, bugger - I was feeling good about the fix too!
Waiting to have it booked in for the "repair" will let you know how I get on.
Just got the bluetooth/usb module fitted to car here in uk.Can honestly say it makes a good difference to usb stick playback.car now resumes on previous song when restarted.this was the worst flaw of the system for me and had not actually used usb for 6 months because of this major irratation.the system will sort song as 1/1 for few seconds before sorting out correct order on album.i pod classic 160gb is still basically unusable with system.gave up on it in this car.all in all though big improvement solely for remembering previous song on usb,im pleased with it though not perfect.
When you say "fitted", do you mean updated? My Mazda 6 already came with USB/Bluetooth but there's no resume.

He means refitted. The CX-5 has the same USB resume issue, but Mazda here in the UK are physically swapping out the Bluetooth/USB Module which controls the whole process.
Yes, that's exactly what the replacements I had did for me... while they worked. USB resume issue was sorted and reading of USB itself was far quicker, which was all great, but then the modules I had just died. I've had two swaps, and am waiting for my third replacement, as the new modules have simply packed in within weeks of being fitted. There is though a brand new revision of the module available, which I highlighted in a previous comment, so my dealer is now waiting to get the part in so he can fit it.
So, we'll see how it goes.
