Hi All,
I am new member here and this is my first Mazda I have ever owned. I needed a 7-passenger SUV and all the other SUV's I drove (Pilot, Highlander, Pathfinder & Tahoe) all felt like I was driving the living room sofa, not to mentioned dated. I bought a pre-owed 2011 CX-9 Grand Touring; I was looking at 2013 CX-9 but it wasn't $10K nice than the 2011.
With that said my only dislike with the CX-9 GT is the small screen on the radio & back up camera display. When I use the Bluetooth Audio no info is transmitted to the LCD screen. I have the bose sound system, back up camera & Sat radio so I was wondering If I bought the factory or OEM navigation system can I just pug it in?
I know there are 3 OEM different Nav Systems for the CX-9
Can I just plug & play with 2010-2012 GPS units?
Can I plug & play with 2013 GPS system?
I don't really want Navigation, just better display of info & back up camera.
I've looked thru the forum and read that aftermarket systems (like Rosen) don't work that great because some the steering wheel controls are lost, along with HVAC system, clock adjustment & info. I don't want to loose any functionality.
I look forward to your responses.
