    Navigation issue with new CX-5

    I just picked up a new CX-5 Premium Plus Turbo. I went to exchange my sim card from my 2022 CX-5 to the new CX-5 and it doesn't fit. The 2025 has a different plug-in type. The dealer was NO help. That sure is taking the JOY from my new Mazda. 😭 I'm not sure what to do now?
