Thanks to this video I just discovered that I have had all along the official Mazda SD card that came with my CX-5 when I bought it. Now that I've used it and compared it to Google Maps navigation I can tell you that it's funcional but Google Maps is way better system. And I'm sure the same applies to Apple Maps. So if you dont have the SD card you're not missing much. But if you want to have one as a backup as Striker suggest it's OK to play $25-$50 for one. Don't go buy SD card for $450 from the dealership. Mazda should be giving their SD card for free to every Mazda owner.

[@Striker50_]

Completely agree, great backup but those OEM prices are wild For people that like the turn by turn on their HUD (if available) it can make navigation more seamless. Wish carplay and such integrated on the HUD

Yeah, my guess is Mazda wants to rake in money through people that pay for "official" map updates. I'm super thankful there's a cheap alternative from aftermarket. Even without a HUD, it makes so much sense for such a low price to get navigation (but not the crazy dealer price) I want to test more things like how it works with voice commands and Android auto, etc. My Honda Accord is a 2013 for example, and Honda still wants me to pay $150 to update the maps for the GPS 😂 WITH A CD!

The traffic sign recognition in my ‘23 CX-5 Signature is operated by the Forward Sensing Camera as well as the navigation system. So Nav is not required for TSR.

[@Striker50_]

From my understanding what I read in forums, the SD card is included with the top signature trim which is why it is the only trim that is marketed with Navigation from factory. I believe the SD card itself that enables the TSR. It would make sense for Mazda (and more cost effective) to include an SD card with the signature trim, instead of giving it tech exclusive to just the Signature. Of course I may be mistaken, but from a business perspective, companies operate on efficiency usually, instead of exclusivity.

Why do you need traffic sign recognition, can you not see the traffic signs through the windscreen, plus other things that might be going on like other cars, pedestrians, dogs, children, horses, potholes to avoid.

The year of the car also don’t really matter as the entertainment unit will get firmware updated by the dealer. The newer firmware will scan for the card ID.

Own a 2016 MX-5 Club aka Miata. Bought a Navigation SD card in 2017. The system is a little quirky to use but the Local Mazda dealer address wouldn't show as a possibility on the Navigation. After asking the receptionist at a local restaurant I found out where the Mazda dealer was located. Found out the dealership is new so in 2017 it was a prairie & THAT is why an updated Navigation SD card is needed.

I mean best practice is to download the map of the area through Google maps in advance of your trip, so this doesn't help someone who is prepared.

I have the HUD and I'm looking forward to getting that working with maps as intended. Thanks. I've also read that it's possible to run the Mazda navigation simultaneously with Google maps, so that's worth checking in to see if you can get it to work.

Good point Keep in mind if someone is doing a longer road trip, that is quite an excess amount of maps that would have to be downloaded.

Thanks for this info. I read some comments in online forums that Mazda can somehow brick/blacklist your VIN from future updates for having an aftermarket SD card installed. Has anyone seen this happen and could they do that? I don't know if that's true or just b.s. comments. I wouldn't want to risk future updates to the car's computer for other reasons.

[@Striker50_]

I would take it with a grain of salt. What I understood is that the SD Card "burns" to your VIN after 50 miles of driving, so that you're not sharing the card with other cars. I personally don't care for the maps to be constantly updated, if even possible at this point with the aftermarket method. I have a 2013 Accord and those 2013 maps show everything I would need as a back up measure. For daily traffic navigating, I use Google maps anyway

[@michaelina2771]

Instead, assuming your phone's data plan can stand it and your Mazda Infotainment kit has built-in Apple Car Play (or Android Auto), I suggest getting a CP/AA dongle that lets you work wireless. The CP/AA gadget costs about the same as the bootleg Mazda Maps SD and has tons more flexibility (Waze w/traffic, Pandora, iHeart Radio, Messages, Phone, etc). Plus, it does NOT require a subscription that expires, like Mazda Maps. When I bought my 2021 CX-5 GTR, I beavered around and took the bootleg Mazda Maps route. The SD I bought was Mazda car model and trim level specific. Anyway, at first I was afraid it might void my warranty, but in the end, everything worked out OK. In fact, Sirius Radio offers a traffic add-on that works well with the Mazda Map set-up. Still, after lots of fussing around, I find the Mazda Map SD/radio set-up too restrictive for my taste. As such, next year when my Maps subscription expires... if asked to renew, I plan to pass in favor of wireless Car Play, or Android Auto. My 2 cents... M 😁

[@Striker50_]

Oh wow I think you're the first person that has gotten the subscription. As for the trim specific I believe that is made up marketing since the cards work for all trims. The wireless dongle is true. I have since seen them pop up all over tiktok and have considered trying it out, but for now there's no immediate need. Thanks for the 2 cents!

[@abrahamcasanova9901]

I have a 2014 Mazda 6 with the Tom Tom navigation which is pretty archaic compared to Google Maps but it’s still good to have as a backup. The way to update that system is to insert the SD card into my computer and then open the Tom Tom program and update the maps. Unfortunately this process stopped working maybe 3 years ago. It used to be free but now it’s not. I would be happy to pay the fee in order to have up to date maps but whenever I try to do so there’s an error that will not allow me to pay and so I am stuck with obsolete maps. I asked the Mazda dealer if there’s a way to update the maps and they told me that I have to swap the whole infotainment unit for an aftermarket one, which I absolutely refuse to do because I like to keep the car original. So I wonder if I can get an updated SD card for my car so I can update the maps.

[@Striker50_]

I am not familiar with the older style nav. Sounds like you may be better off using a phone mount and Google Maps. 3 year old maps also will probably have 99.5% of the roads. I'd imagine a 10 year old navigation takes much longer to use and input than on a cell

In my opinion those built in navigations in cars are useless because many don't connect to internet to receive real time traffic updates and any map changes. Let's say if you are in an area where there is an accident or construction going on, this GPS is not going to know and will lead you straight into it. So the trade off is whether you value the cool heads up display to minimize distraction on the road, or if you value real time traffic. Both have it's own pros and cons of course.
