I can't imagine a dealer has to dispose of their inventory of SD cards with a given map version & order new cards because Mazda released a new map version rendering the previous stock "old". Others have said the dealer "forgot" to insert the factory supplied SD card and had to have one provided to them. Both my 2019 GTR's came standard with the SD card which the dealer had inserted prior to delivery so no issues. I'm sure there are bogus counterfeit SD cards being sold out there but many are also older never used cards from legitimate sources.

I would expect if I had a vehicle which never had an SD card & had said vehicle for 35 months, purchased an SD card from a Mazda dealer, that I would get 36 months of updates once the SD syncs to the VIN, not from the in-service date of the vehicle. He explained to me the entire process of updates changed sometime back last year to tackle the significant number of counterfeit SD cards in the market.Įffectively, once your car has a navigation via SD card and the VIN gets registered with Mazda the only option is to buy upgrades thru Toolbox.Ĭlick to expand.Out of curiosity, was there ever a previous Nav SD card tied to your VIN? Others have inquired that once their original SD card expired after 36 months could they purchase a 3rd party supplied card and restart the 36 month clock. I asked why does Mazda sell then a new card for +$300? He said because its for new cars or cars which never has navigation but need one. He said Toolbox and Mazda cloud servers will recognize it and continue offering the remainder but against the new SD card. I asked assuming its a new car and new SD card and after around 200 miles stops working and dealer determines its SD card problem and issues me a new card.

If I want 3 more years I must purchase the same thru Mazda toolbox only. What is the Mazda Toolbox The Mazda Update Toolbox and Mazda Toolbox applications are free tools designed to work with your Mazda Connect and MZD Connect system. A new SD card once tied to the same VIN will no more work even if the new SD card officially offers 3 years map updates since that new SD card is meant for new cars only. The VIN number ties to the original SD card. However, as these people who answer are all different not sure if true.

Anyways, when I contacted Mazda Corporate this is what they told me after I told them I bought from dealer. Exactly what I thought too - but on the left side where they detail things out or under settings, etc.
