For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

    My 2015 Tacoma has a great gps, but I cannot find a way to update the map, it is 7 years out of date.

      My 2012 Mazda uses a SD card for the maps and last I looked it was over $100 for updates. I wouldn’t buy a car without carplay or android auto these days.

        My aunt’s 2017 Mazda didn’t have my house in the GPS. It was built in 2011.

      Oh it’s simple. Just run a USB cable from your pc to the car’s tailpipe.

      Wait until you see what it takes to do so! I had an OEM nav unit in one of my cars, and the map update is sold on a DVD (!) and costs something like $400. I’m going to go with… no. (And yes, I checked to see if an .iso was available on any pirate sources; it wasn’t.) I’ll just run Google Maps or an OpenStreetMap client on my phone, thanks.
