Sorry about the tangents...on to usb update!
Ok...I am guilty!
Will carry on with my experience with the USB module update/replacement today (4/20). Went in this am so that the Service person could experience and confirm the problem... the USB "issue of continuing 1st song playback after unit shutdown.
After about 10 minutes the tech returned and confirmed the issue existed. I am expecting a replacement tomorrow or Wednesday. This was a different and no-nonsense writer, than was assigned during my 1st "no-joy" visit last week. I wound up calling Mazda USA who quickly confirmed the issue, repair procedure etc. The Mazda USA rep was fast and knew her stuff. She called the dealer and rectified the situation while I remained on the phone.
Side note: After arriving home, I found that keeping the unit turned on, resulted in improper operation of the NAV (it remained "navigating" even after I told it to cancel the route...in sort of a demo mode if you will + the USB playback lag. This was confirmed by the tech as a result of operation without the BT module. They wanted to return the module in advance of its pending replacement. Whatever....
Will not update my post, unless something strange occurs, which is not expected. Turns out the other either did not know, or was confused. Mazda USA did say that the problem was pretty widespread.
OP here, finally got mine done.
But damn, you guys go off on tangents here. This TSB has nothing to do with Voice Recognition or TomTom Navigation.
Anyways.... Surprised you all got your modules as fast as you did. Mine took almost two weeks to get to the dealer.
So far I love it. Bluetooth lag while switching songs is practically instantaneous. Might even be possible to watch videos now and people's lips will match! USB flash drive last song resuming works also and a bit quicker to load.
I don't have an iPod or iPhone so those fixes don't matter to me.
My Nexus 6 with Android 5.1 has always worked with the SMS feature on the car using Hangouts as the default SMS app.
