What Owners Say
"The resolution of the camera's are sub-par for a modern car. My 2015 Ford Mustang had a higher resolution rear camera than this Mazda6 has."
Anonymous, ON (2018 Mazda 6 Unsure 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Upon turning on ignition (push button) start, get Mazda logo and then the screen goes dark (off). Stopping car and restarting it starts working."
Anonymous, (2018 Mazda 6 Signature 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Both problems seem to have been fixed with softer updates"
Anonymous, UT (2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Sometimes (albeit rarely) at start up, the camera will fail to come up. Turning off the vehicle and turning it back on will fix the issue."
Anonymous, IL (2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"this has happened about 4 times and had to restart the vehicle"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Mazda 6 Signature 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"This is a known issue that appears to stem from the nav sd card. Dealer says there was a software update that fixed this..we shall see."
Anonymous, TX (2018 Mazda 6 Signature 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The screen goes blank every once in awhile. Mazda has not been able to diagnose the issue. It can be a safety issue when you need to back up, because the rear camera is tied into the display screen and it too is blank."
Anonymous, ON (2018 Mazda 6 Unsure 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"When plugging in the iPhone with a working cord, the sound will sometimes only come out of the passenger side speaker. For it to work, the car needs to be turned off and re-started, will it almost always will allow the sound to come out of both speakers."
Anonymous, IL (2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring 2.5-L 4 Cyl turbo)"I cant tell whether the GPS is adjusting the route for traffic or not. It doesnt give choices. It doesnt show where there is traffic the way Waze or Google maps does. Sometimes the screen is blank when I start the car and I need to turn off the car and restart it. The screen image started spinning on me once which I could only resolve by turning off the car and restarting The volume on the GPS changes on its own, getting too soft. Its generally not easy to use compared to others"
