Or you can order a new card SD from Uk suppliers for £35 or only £18 direct from China via AliExpress. swap the SD card, turn on the ignition and the maps update in less than a minute. Job done.

Thank you

edit : there are a few on AliExpress - which one do you recommend , Ta.

I paid £18, delivered in 10 days. Works perfectly. I can live with the fact that someone obviously ripped off Mazda and hacked their software.

I also bought a copy map for the whole of Europe for £18 and I also took the plunge and bought a usb with some infotainment tweaks (£43) - which has removed all the warning signs at boot, allows the system to be used when driving as in new destinations - annoyed the wife that even the passenger cannot take her live into her own hands.. also has android \ apple connections video etc etc 170 or so tweaks..

Hi Witfit, where did you get the USB as not being able to touch screen when moving is not ideal for the passenger .

Note that once your MZD Connect infotainment Operating System is at version 59.00.502 or above, you can't just plug a USB stick in to 'tweak' it, you would have to make a serial connection to the back of the CMU. And then if you update to version 70.00.335 or above, you'd need a slightly different approach.
