No problem. Check online to see details of the latest versionThanks. The OS version is 59.00.502 NA N. I assume that is the latest version since it was just installed.
I looked on the Mazda website and they claim the nav system uses HERE maps. I have the HERE app on my phone. The phone app will find my home address (relatively new subdivision) but the Mazda6 nav still won't find my home address even though the firmware was updated. I love my 6 but the nav system sucks big time. That's my only complaint about the car.
Ahhh. Did not know that. I'll try the map updates and see if there is a difference. Thanks.
Well that was mildly annoying to update. It would just clock and not update this afternoon. I called Mazda and they claimed high server traffic. They also recommended to uninstall the Mazda Toolbox and re-install it. So, this evening I uninstalled and reinstalled the Toolbox. I was then able to update the SD card. Took about 30 minutes. Total time consumed over the day was about 2 or 3 hrs including time on the phone with Mazda and a futile attempt to try their chat help.
FYI - Free map updates are only free while under warranty.
Why would you use NAVI that doesn't have real time traffic? Maybe its just me but I don't see a point. Wish I had Android Auto to mirror Google Maps
I took my wife's CX-5 in for two recall issues. While at the dealership they installed the latest Nav screensoftware, which is fine. But they charged me $60 for that service.
Do dealers typically charge to update Nav screen software to the newest version ?
My question is whether or not dealers typically charge to install a software patch, updated software etc... for a Nav screen?
Dealers don't do navigation (maps) updates. That is for the owner to do. If you persuade them, then they might but for a fee
They only do firmware updates for MZD connect during scheduled servicing.
This is what happens here in Australia.
My screen does not actually have navigation functionality. It's a screen for the radio, settings, rear camera view etc.... In the past 2 years Mazda has released software patches, or firmware updates, or whatever the proper term is , to make the screens function properly.
Yes for MZD connect.
And the dealer normally charges for installing a soiftware-firmware update ?
