You should see an alert as soon as TT home comes up just select the update, I was also given the latest map.
Could that just be signal loss?
My mobile uses Vodaphone, which has poor signals were it live.
Have you tried the clear button on the signal page?
Off topic I know, but would appreciate any help.
I had the car in the dealers 3 days ago and had the ecu/dipstick problem sorted and also the exhaust pressure sensor replaced-which Mazda had written to me about last week.
I've only done about 40 miles since, but on a short run of about 6 miles each way today the consumption increased dramatically. At a steady 35 to 45mph on a flat road it was registering anything between 22 and 31 mpg. This would normally be in the 40-50+ mpg range.
Is this any connection with diesel regeneration I've heard about? If so, how often does it happen and how can I tell when it's happening and can I do anything to reduce it from happening?
Any comments would be appreciated as I am wondering if the dealer somehow did something wrong when it was in and if I need to take it back.

It could be the diesel particulate filter being cleaned and regenerated. You can tell because the MPG drops, as explained in the manual. The car has a number of sensors to determine when it needs doing. Frequent short trips will cause it to activate more regularly. Why would you want to stop it?
Thanks Buzzx6r for clarifying the regeneration part, I must have forgotten reading about it in the manual 6 months ago. I worded part of the question badly, it's not that I want to stop the regeneration, it's more a case of what determines the frequency-which you have answered as frequent short journeys.
Thanks again
Its not just short journeys. My car has over 42mpg on the average reading, that's doing short journeys mainly with the occasional 15mile run to the lake I fish on, that's around once a week.
On the whirlpool site owners were getting rising oil levels doing nearly ALL motorway runs! Caused by the regens using diesel to burn off the dpf soot.
The CX-5 goes through a timed regen or part regen, what the latest software has done is extend these intervals, and reduce the fuel used for the burn off.
Lots of intel on the whirlpool forum, and some on this site if you search.
My last car with dpf over 4 years only did 27K with no issues.

I have no idea.( The Vin will tell you the year and were its made).
But if its of any help the 2014 (2013) models have chrome highlights in between the touch screen buttons, and the rev counter red light is now 5500rpm, previously was 5200rpm.
The age of the tyre can be worked out from the code on the tyre.

Has anyone with the satnav, who has installed the new software update v.10.850 for Mazda Navigation System NB1, noticed when updating if they still get the Quickfix Gps update included? This used to be a weekly satellite position fix but since the long awaited solution mine doesn't offer it.......Maybe another call to TT support.
