Map update Dec2019 for 2016 car
« on: January 11, 2020, 04:17:51 pm »
My 3 year free map update ended in October. The latest update then was February 2019. I have bought the December 2019 update at over £100 but after I try to install it I am told I have an update available but it just won't install. Does anyone know how you can tell which update is on th SD card. I can't see this info when using Mazda toolbox. I have never previously had any problems installing the "free" updates

I do not have that car to know the technical details but it sounds that you have bought it from Mazda and they may have some customer service for support.

In this link:

https://infotainment.mazdahandsfree.com/navigation-updatemymaps?language=en-EU

It says that you must have enough free space in your card:

Before buying this update, please verify with Mazda Toolbox PC-tool if there is enough free storage space on your SD card to install this update.

So what you try to do may stops because it finds the new update but then the installation does not start because there is no space.

I assume that this is just a normal SD card. If that is the case and you have a spare one, you could try installing the update to the other card and see whether this works.

If it works, then it meant that there no space on the other card. You will then have 2 SD cards just in case goes wrong with either of them you can go back to the others.

Before you do anything drastic with the old maps and you end up with no maps at all, if you cannot make it work, try to contact Mazda.

That is good news because it sounds like they reacted to customer calls that there was a problem with the installation. At least you have the old map still working.

Latest from Mazda:

 We are happy to inform you that the map update installation error for your MZDConnect navigation system has been fixed.

 If you made a purchase or redeemed a code and could not install the map, please start the Toolbox again, insert your SD card and log in. The Toolbox will automatically offer the purchased map for installation.
If you haven't purchased anything yet, you can now do so without any foreseen installation problems. Just start the Toolbox and follow the on-screen instructions to update your map.
