I've had the updated bluetooth module for a few months now and I just noticed something regarding one of my issues - it appears that if you are shuffling a playlist on a USB stick and then you shut off the car, upon resuming, the playlist is still actually shuffled and the shuffled play order...

You'll find USB improvement which is overall acceptable, but still some issues remain with USB - see this: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123847786-USB-Specific-Problems-After-Resume-Fix-(BT-Module-TSB-Replacement)

Multiple re-starts required to see all files after BT fix Further testing has indicated that the updated unit can handle large USB drives and a large # of files, BUT, there is a major issue with it. I put 4515 tracks on a 64G USB drive and inserted it into the car. Initially, only about 1800...

I've been trying to figure this out here in the USA. Initially, it appeared that I was having difficulty with larger drives (>8GB), but more testing has indicated that it may be the number of files on the drive that causes problems. It appears that regardless of drive size, when I put over...

What I have observed might confirm the 8GB limit. I have several USB drives with music on them, most of which are 8GB, but also have 16, 32 and 64 GB. I can confirm that the 8GB ones have no issues, but the larger ones, although they appear to work for the most part, have various problems...

Don't want to be entirely negative - USB does resume after the BT module replacement, but there are still a number of problems noticed by myself and others in this forum. Some of these problems are always observable, others only with larger USB drives, more files or larger playlists...

After having the TSB update so that USB can resume, I attempted to put about 4500 songs on a FAT32 formatted 64G USB drive. It took a while to initialize, but eventually, only about 1900 songs were recognized. I use Mediamonkey to sync USB drives, and haven't had any issues until now. I had...

Before and after the update, I have always been able to see song info via BT with my iPhone 6.

Not sure about voice command improvements - one minor change which is negative in my opinion is that the pickup button no longer gets you to the voice dial menu. Instead, you to press the voice menu button which goes to the top level and you have to say "phone" first. I briefly attempted...

Just wanted to say that I had the update and it is working for me as well. I started this thread over two years ago when I took delivery of my 2014 GT in Jan. of 2013 - it took a long time for Mazda to implement the fix. I had actually been enjoying resuming USB with the AUDIO2 power...

I had my dealer order the part last week over the phone - just needed my VIN #. Got it installed this morning and resume on USB works! Dealer gave me a printout with information on the changes. Also performed an update of the head unit, but I am not sure what that did. I have been waiting...

After reading recent postings on this thread, I called my Mazda dealer (Dallas, TX) with the TSB #. They ordered the part and it has just arrived today (took 2 days). I will have it installed Monday morning and will update on if it corrects the USB resume problem.

Circuit is attached.

You might try unplugging the bluetooth module from both of its connectors, then re-connecting. I have been experimenting with the bluetooth module and have seen it get locked up in various ways, including the USB being greyed out. I am attaching a circuit that I am testing that has been...

I need a switch. This is related to my efforts to get the GT+Tech stereo to (1) resume playback of USB sticks and (2) auto-connect bluetooth to my phone upon starting the car. I need a user accessible switch to bypass the circuit in case (a) need to park for a long time (not sure of battery...
