Have dealer working on it as well. The traffic feature will not work. It's greyed out in the traffic setting,
Any idea what setting and where it my be turned on? Historical traffic is there and working, but need current traffic.
Ant help would be great.

It's not just you. It's grayed out on mine and so far nobody can get it to work. I think the live traffic data is supposed to come over FM/HD radio. It probably doesn't work because the agreement between Mazda and a traffic service (like HERE/NAVTEQ Traffic RDS or Total Traffic & Weather Network) has expired / was not renewed. My hand held Magellan gets live traffic warnings/events because it comes with a lifetime traffic subscription to a traffic data service. Wish Mazda Connect would figure this out!

It's one of the most missed features from my last car. I would come to a complete halt on the HWY, click on the nav, and was able to see just how long the traffic jam was. :sigh:

That's terrible, seems like it's one of the few advantages that older models of the CX-5 have with their older TomTom navigation system. As far as I can tell we still get live traffic over HD radio.

My infotainment center still, almost a year from when I bought my CX-5, still has issues speaking & displaying text and emails.

I think Mazda has bit off technology that they're not entirely ready for!!

Tom Tom..?

Mazda would have been a lot better off if they had gone with "Garmin" as their GPS supplier.

I just discovered this issue at my dealer as well. I leased a GT model a few weeks ago and struggled with the real-time traffic feature. My dealer mentioned that Mazda is currently reviewing other Nav companies to replace TomTom as their provider. Of course, that doesn't help those of us in 2016 models.
