What is Mazda Update Toolbox?

Update Toolbox is a free-of-charge software that allows you to download, purchase, and install map updates to your navigation SD card. Without the Update Toolbox, you cannot download updates to your navigation SD card. Download the Update Toolbox here.
NOTE: Mazda SD-card: The SD card is built in your vehicle’s navigation system and it contains the navigation system licenses with the factory-installed map. To update the map on your navigation system, you need to remove the SD card from its slot (see image) and insert it into your computer’s SD card reader.

How often are maps updated?

Map update is continuous, Mazda Update Toolbox will automatically offer you the latest map update when SD card is inserted into the computer and Toolbox is started.

How long does it take to download and install the updates?

The download time depends on your bandwidth and the size of the map update file. To download content you need to have a broadband internet connection.

If I have more than one Mazda Connect navigation system, can I update them with the same content I downloaded?

No. Downloaded content can only be used with one SD card. The SD card is locked to the VIN number, therefore it cannot be used in another vehicle. You have to update each SD card individually to be functional in the vehicle’s navigation system.

I’m entitled for a free map update. I'm still within that period, but Mazda Update Toolbox does not show that to be the case.

You can check the free map eligibility on the Available updates screen in Mazda Update Toolbox. In case of concern, please contact your Mazda Dealer with as much detail as possible about the problem.
