Stay away of CMU FW >= 59.xx.502 unless you know what the implications are (lock out).Ĭlick to expand.The CMU hack makes the CMU think that whatever SD card you use has a specific CID (card ID) - the CID with which you patched it, although in reality this is not the case. I don't think mere factory reset would suffice. Either by copying original unaltered file jci-linux_im圆_volans-release back to CMU or by performing CMU FW update. Assuming your original card is not physically damaged.īe warned, prerequisity for an original navigation card to work in your car again is to get the CMU navigation hack removed / undone. Have you done that backup and have you attempted to recover your original card from that backup? That would at least worth a try. You're probalby not aware but backup of essential files takes less than a second and about silly 20KB of storage - just copy "license" folder from root of the card and be done with it, all other content is disposable.īesides that, Mazda Toolbox performs backup of (what I believe are just unique license files as the backup completes in an instant) on it's own prior updating maps. You should've known better and backup the original card while it was operable, or at least before formatting the card. Later CMU FWs may not be easily or at all navi-hackable, things like that. Eventual CMU FW updates would revert the navigation hack and you'd have to re-apply that in order to make navigation work again. ![]() I mean, now you're at risk that map updates will stop coming for pirated card at any point. The downside is that you wasted your valueable original card (with unique CID and licence file) and replaced it with generic "pirated" card that only works along with hack applied to navigation software in your car. In my view it makes it not fit for purpose, and I would add that there is no excuse with current technology for it not to perform much better than this.Well, good to know you have navigation up and running again. When I complained to the Mazda service centre, they just shrugged their shoulders and said "that is a limitation of the system"!! There have been many similar examples, in each case I have had to resort to Google maps on my smartphone to find the actual destination! ![]() When I drove to it the SatNav told me I had arrived at my destination about a 1/3 of a mile away from their road, had not known where they lived I would have been completely lost, as there were at least two more turns and differently named roads to navigate before getting to theirs, I would expect it to at least get you to the end of their road. The SatNav found their postcode and road name, which I selected, it gave no option for a house number or intersection. ![]() To give an example, I tried to get it to navigate to some friends who live near the centre of Torbay, a biggish UK conglomeration, their house has a name but no number. Having come from a background of using a free standing Garmin, which generally found 99.9% of any address you threw at it, in my opinion the performance of the Mazda system really sucks. My specific issues are that it struggles to find some addresses, particularly an address with just a house name and no number, and it really struggles to find rural address at all, even finding the centre of a village can be difficult. Having had my CX-3 for a bit over a year now, I wondered if any other owners have had issues with the satellite navigation? ![]()
