Just purchased 2023 CX-50 PP with active display. I have purchased 3 different NAV SD cards and none of them will load. I just get the standard message that car is Nav ready and just insert a card. My car is made in USA and I sure the card I need is TD2K 66 EZ1A. Inserted with lock off and car off but nothing happens.

I bought a car for my old 2020 CX- 5 had active display and I really liked seeing the speed limit and street signs on my active display. Yes, I can use Apple CarPlay for Nav but no signs or speed limit on my windshield.
I hate to pay the dealer $449 and it not work!

Where are you buying the cards?

Two on Amazon from a vendor someone in this forum said worked and one from eBay.

And now you understand why some of us just fork over the money to the dealer (grudgingly).

Actually, I don’t because for a 24 moth lease, it’s not worth the money, I will just go without. The new system burns in the vin number, it can’t be used in another car or the maps updated. Not worth $450 to me

That's a valid point that I wouldn't have considered since I don't ever lease.

I purchased this SD Card on Amazon, loaded immediately and works properly. I have the CX-50 Turbo Premium. The price has come down a bit, as well.

I purchased that exact card and it just sat there and then the system crashed

If the vendor refunded your purchase I would try again. Vendors will work with you generally and sometimes just send a replacement. Right after I installed this card in the CX-50 my wife's CX-5 Nav failed. I purchased a different card from Amazon and was back in business.

Dealership installed accessories are able to be residualized in the lease. In other words, you wouldn't have paid $450.

I already have the car and expected to get a $40 card as with my past Mazdas!

On Amazon, I paid $55.00 for the CX-50 SD Card (now $46.00) and 39.00 for the CX-5 Card. They were easy to install and work perfectly. Lucky, perhaps.

I got one on eBay for my Abarth 124 AND it works. Before that, I got one from Amazon that didn't . The seller on ebay is "fastpartsoem"

 

[MrKratz]

I have a third coming, the first two were ones recommended here and they did not work.

Hopefully you aren't out of pocket for all but the 1st one!

I’ve ordered one of the SD cards linked above. Let’s see what version map it is and if it works.

 

[Caestus75]

So I put the SD card in the center console before I went to work and I left it there and I drove my other car to work. When I got home and turned the car on it instantly worked. There was no install or anything like that. The only downside is it's a map from 2020 so I reached out to the seller to see if there is a way to update it....

Otherwise it looks good.

I have never tried this Mazda Navigation Update site but have heard that it works:

mazda.welcome.naviextras.com

I would think your SD card would be compatible. You need to remove the card and insert in your computer to update.

This method unfortunately did not work. It states the SD card is not authorized for use.
