Hyundai does it a lot better, they tell you in the manual to buy a quality 32GB (no bigger no smaller) non micro SD card and make your own with any pc and a SD card reader. It's so easy I leave a backup card in the glovebox.

I believe there is some sort of security built into these that locks the SD card to your car the first time you plug it in. So while cloning it worked for your car, I doubt it will work plugged into another Mazda 3. Still might be worth doing the backup if you care about the Nav though. The SD card can fail and having Mazda replace it is a bigger pain than cloning the card.

my guess is when he cloned the card he only cloned the main partition theres probably some hidden partitions on the card that it uses when he used the mazda tool it detected the main partition and lack of other parittions and attempted a rebuild to the card

I've heard there is something that "marries" the SD card to your VIN once you've had it in the car for a certain number of miles. I have no way to test the card in a different car but I believe you're right in that it'll only work in mine. I'm just glad to have a backup in case the OEM one eats shit

The SD card has a serial number and after driving with the card for 30miles/50kms the number will be associated with the VIN of the vehicle, and cannot be used in other vehicles. So it will be useful to backup your card, but won't be useful to upgrade other cars without sat nav.

1) First off, did you take out the SD card _while the car was on?_ It probably had files open. 2) The Mazda Toolbox lets you make a backup of the SD card. You can restore it that way, too. 3) The card comes from the factory "unlocked". Put it in the vehicle and after driving it for a while (60 miles?) it stores the VIN on the card so you can't swap it to a different vehicle. 4) I've replaced the cards in two different Mazdas, using the Toolbox under Windows. Make sure to format the new card to the same type as the old (FAT32 is what I had) and literally just copied the files from the old card to a folder on my computer, then over to the new card. I increased the size of the SD, no issues. 5) Two tips: Make sure the new SD card is at least as fast as the old one. It seemed to improve startup and access time on the navigation system. Also make sure the new SD card will hanfle the temperature range for a vehicle. I found on clearance a two-pack of card intended for hunting trail cameras and used them. I'd previously hit a problem with a USB flash drive holding MP3 files that would get corrupted from the heat and cold. I took that experience and applied it to the Nav cards, just in case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good luck to all trying to understand and suport their Mazda Nav systems!

Did you get Toolbox running on Wine, or use a Windows VM? All I get in Wine (Debian Bookworm) is an all-black window. Tried some different options in winecfg, but no luck yet. (Might try reinstall after switching Win version maybe...)

@AnWe79 Күн бұрын

For anyone else, don't waste time with Wine, not sure why it doesn't work, but spin up a Win VM. Can also confirm that this works for increasing available size. My original card was too small (~7500 MB) to get the newest European map update onto it. Made a copy to a 16 GB card with this method, let Toolbox do it's thing, then resized the partition with Gnome Disks. Toolbox now reports the new size and doesn't seem bothered. I haven't yet bought the map update, but unless they're very sneaky looks like it should work fine.
