Had my 6 since Feb 2014 and have used MRCC on many trips. Not experienced any failures of FOW or MRCC.

@jayally.."It wants to download the phone book if I am out of the car for more than a few minutes and then I cannot do anything but listen to the radio until its done" If you go to the Phone screen and wait until it starts to download the Phonebook, there is the option to CANCEL the download but...

42MPG? That is excellent! After 4 months of my 2014 Mazda 6 diesel with mix of town and highway driving the best I have managed is just under 40MPG. Mine is Reflex Blue with almond interior - classy!

@eyedo..hmmmm does sound a bit like FOW.

When I picked up my Mazda 6 in March this year, the dealer told me that the Australian Atenza version (top of the line model) now includes SCBS. Having driven it for the past 3 months where I have been very close to the car in from at low speed, the SCBS has never activated so I wondered if SCBS...

What type / gen iPod is it? I just plugged my iPod Classic 160GB (latest gen) into my Mazda 6 (2014), it has about 1600 songs on it. The Mazda took less than 2 minutes to read the songs and all worked (apart for the annoying restart at 1st song after turning the engine off). Tried a new cable?

This will be my final update on this subject. Tried to update map again today - worked but with a message that says the free maps will end in 14 days. This means that the free update period is 90 days. The current Tom Tom offer is AUD$50 for 12 monhts of updates which is half price). As I do use...

Hi everyone, I have successfully replaced all the interiors light bulbs with LEDs as well as the exterior number plate lights. The trunk/boot light - I have tried several LEDs from various manufacturers including the '5k white 3 LED WEDGE base 37 74' from VLEDS and I have found them all to be...

@mixmaster..really? Mine def does not have auto dim driver side mirror but I have rearview mirror with auto dimming

The top of the line has heated mirrors but not auto dimming. (Atenza in Aust / GT USA)

Still getting free map updates after 60 days. After owning the car for 60 days I have successfully updated the TomTom maps from v10.851 to 10.852 (Australia map). This included an update to the Tom Tom application on the SD card; a largish map update (200mb) and about 10 map quick...

Igo..thanks for sharing your experience. Good to know that you are OK and that the safety features of the 6 worked as it should. Provides a lot of confidence in the Mazda stable. All the best!

Hi OP, I drive a diesel 2014 Mazda 6 and I can not see why a diesel powered engine could not meet the expectation of the US market. Perhaps the US market expects a diesel engine car to drive like a gas/petrol powered car but they never will be the same. As long as you can accept that there is no...

the first 'free' update I did (Australia map) yielded no major map updates, only a few minor corrections. I will try a second update once I am back home next week and see if there are anything else within the last month. I will buy the 12 months map service regardless as I use my car a fair bit...

free map updates are available for the first 30-45 days and after that it is a paid subscription

After 3200km (2000miles) of mixed city and highway driving i am achieving 6.1l/100km (38.56mpg) EDIT - should mention that I have the skyactive diesel

Announced today in Australia www.drive.com.au/motor-news/mazda-recalls-popular-model-20140410-36ead.html Must say it has never happened to me yet but good to know Mazda has its priority right.

As a follow up to this topic, I tried a few tests over the past week to avoid having to download the phonebook everytime I start the car. Well, you can CANCEL the phonebook download as per my post on 03-14-2104 above (got to do it within a few seconds of the process). However, the interesting...

@whiteline..sure but I can have aircond going as well as demisting via the Mode button and iStop continues to work. Not sure what is so special about the Front Windscreen Demister button.

One condition where i-Stop is automatically disabled is when you put on Front Windscreen Demister (via the dedicated demister button below the clock). That was a surprise given that you can achieve the same effect (demisting) using the Mode button (air to face / air to foot / air to demist) and...
