Non issue for me fortunately. I actually prefer to have this feature disabled permanently. Hearing those tagalog words read by the voice assistant is sooooo annoying. I want to concentrate on enjoying my drive rather than getting some annoying and distracting sms message [emoji13]

Savagegeese is the best! Love the cinematic and the technical detail. Infotainment is still his pet peeve. It's the most annoying thing with modern cars nowadays [emoji13]

My most favorite infotainment feature in the 2019 mazda3? Press and hold the button to turn off the screen. Isn't that cool and very useful? [emoji4]

Any idea how much it would cost for just a firmware update? So far I don't have any compelling issues with my infotainment system so there's no hurry for me to get the latest firmware. I just use MZD Connect for playing music from spotify and for some occasional phone calls while on the road.

PeligRacing also does update & AA/CP installs....if you want the OCD touch. Who wouldn't?[emoji4]

Technical Details, who else? They use the Mazda approved paint brand, Cromax, too.[emoji106]
Cromax extends its clearcoat tint portfolio to help refinishers get the best Mazda Soul Red Crystal repair
