I've installed the Mazdas Toolbox app on my Mac. When I run it, I get to a screen that says: Please insert your SD card.

It makes reference to 'The Mazda SD card provided with your vehicle' - was I meant to have been handed a special SD card by my dealer?

Its the one that drives your satnav. It sits at the bottom of the dash near the console.

Only remove/insert the SD Card with the vehicle ignition switched off.

Hey JT, if I pull my SD card when not using the Nav would it lock the card? Without it, my new CX-5 has quite a nice ships compass and doesn't fill the top bar with street names.

Once you've travelled 100km (calculated by GPS data) the SD card will be VIN locked to your vehicle so it won't work in another. If you remove the SD card before you have travelled 100km and move it to a different vehicle, the card is immediately VIN locked to the other vehicle and won't work in the original one. You can travel around without the SD card, but Mazda technical bulletin advises technicians to only install/reinstall the card with ignition off to reduce the possibility of corrupting the data on the card.
