Hello,
I am having the same issue in my 2018 cx5. it continually tells me input address by voice not available, parked.. driving.. stopped.. engine running or stopped makes no difference. Does anyone know how to remedy this?
thank for your help.
1) Enter vehicle.
2) Remove nav data SD card.
3) Press start button once. Allow CMU to fully boot. Command control over to Navigation and wait for system to tell you that Navigation is not installed.
4) Rest CMU: Simultaneously press and hold Back Button + Mute Button | Navigation Button. Wait for screen to go blank before releasing all three.
5) Allow system to restart/reboot without the nave data SD card inserted.
6) Press start button twice and wait for CMU to shut down fully.
7) Insert nav data SD card.
8) Start engine. Wait for CMU to fully boot. Command control over to Navigation and confirm that nav data is not being recognized by the system (no more navigation is not installed message).
From here, just start your voice command entry process by pressing the button on your steering wheel and waiting for voice prompt instructions. Use the list of Voice Commands available within the Mazda Connect System given to you by another member of this forum above. Or, just test the system using one of the commands you see on screen. But, you need to wait for the Prompt!

No. That's simply to reset the CMU with a fresh uptake of the navdata, if you want to. Based on what the OP stated, it does not seem as if they are waiting for the command prompt which is required in order to get the system to acknowledge the input by voice. I use this feature all the time in my CX-9. It is especially nice when I want to enter a waypoint between where I am at present and my final destination while driving. Works great, but I have to wait for the system to prompt me before I can use voice inputs. It is not really difficult to use - in fact, it is rather easy. Not sure why this is not working for the OP, but they can reset the entire system with the above.
I know to wait for the prompt. Every other voice command seems to work. I can get to navigation, I can make a call, I can enter a specific FM or XM channel, etc. But I can't enter an address. Here's the sequence.
I press the voice prompt button on the steering wheel.
System says, "Please say a command, [BEEP]."
I say any of these -
"Address"
"Navigate to an address"
"Destination"
"Address 1 Main Street XYZ, New Jersey"
"Navigate to 1 Main Street XYZ, New Jersey"
"Destination 1 Main Street XYZ, New Jersey"
To each of these commands, the system replies - "Entering destination by voice is not currently available."
So it is clearly recognizing what I'm trying to do. It knows that I'm saying an address, but it just won't take it.
I've tried starting in the nav window, within sub-menus in nav window, from the home screen, from the audio window, etc. All with the same result.

Yes that is possible. The that is not is commands like "Navigate to Walmart"
Thanks guys. I tried both of your suggestions plus what the video shows, which is slightly different. Same result. It recognizes what I want to do but says, “Entering destination by voice is not currently available.”

I was at the dealer with my 2018 cx-5 ... dealer tried to update GPS because of the voice address input unavailable issue. GPS had the newest update..the dealer could not figure out why..They went to several new 2018 cx-5 and cx-9s and tried to input an address via voice..all vehicles provided the same issue. The dealer is contacting mazda next week in hopes for a fix.. seems all units if the 2018 are affected.

I used "Find Nearest Ritz Carlton Hotel" and the system found the two nearest Ritz and allowed me to insert them as waypoints between where I was at the moment and my final destination. The system then placed a Yellow Flag on the map representing the Ritz Carlton Hotel, as distinguished from the Checkered Flag for the final destination. I had a salad at the Ritz overlooking the ocean and then got back on the road and picked up my final destination which was a roadside barbecue house.
All accomplished while coming out of a neighborhood I had never been in before about 40 miles away prior.
The system works great. If you are continually being denied its benefits, it might be time to see the dealer. Prior to heading to the dealer however, I'd give this one last try: http://infotainment.mazdahandsfree.c...anguage=en-NA#
I dread ever having to visit a dealership for any vehicle I own. Things really seem to go down hill after the dealer touches my vehicles for some 'odd' (probably planned) reason.
