Re: Mazda CX5 USA to EU mile to km, units and radio

I used to have a CX5 2014-2015 model here in the US with no MZD Connect and if I remember correctly to change Language, Miles to km and temp F to C is by holding the INFO button in the steering wheel and follow the prompt in the Instrument Cluster, you need to hit twice Start button without pressing the brake pedal for settings to work.
I believe all the instructions are in the manual. For the radio issue you must replace the Tuner TAU, it won't work by software alone.
Now if you have a car with MZD Connect is all in Settings, System:

Mazda CX-5 (KF) Mileage Blocker / Odometer Blocker is used for stopping the mileage in a car while testing its performance. At Super Kilometer Filter you can get the best module with unique components. Whether the digital odometer of your vehicle counts mileage in miles or kilometers (km), the device will work equally efficiently. Our programmers write software specifically for each maker and model to make sure that it works flawlessly. Install the module and use pre-determined key combinations to change from mode to mode.

Please take into consideration, we don’t sell Mileage Correction tools for Mazda CX-5 (KF) as they are meant for deceitful purposes and can solely remove the mileage figures from odometers. They are usually used to rewind / rollback the distance traveled. However, cars have multiple data storage units and roll back tools still fail to reverse the mileage altogether.

We offer a wide variety of Mileage Stopper devices for various vehicles. The Mileage Blocker tool works perfectly on a diesel-gasoline engine, as well as, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and Electric cars. The installation process doesn’t require in-depth knowledge of a vehicle’s maintenance. Plug it between the port of the speedometer and the instrument cluster and enjoy all the benefits of this unique module.

⚠️Warning⚠️

The Kilometer Stopper is only for testing and tuning purposes and should not be used on public roads. Unlike the speedometer calibration tools, our module is not intended for fraudulent purposes.

The CX-5 we got yesterday has miles and yards rather than Kim's and metres. Anyone know how to change to Kms, please?

Is there a preference for Units on the device?

  • #3

Sure is! All fixed. If only the manual were as easy to follow as the help given here... Many thanks

Yes - I don't think it's very helpful. I didn't identify something about changing miles to kms from the comment about units that is in the manual:Tap this button to set the units used on your Mazda NB1 for features such as route planning.

Features? Odd word, from my perspective. Route planning? Hardly relevant to temperature, barometric pressure, etc.
Anyway, I'm just glad folks like those on the forum exist to help the process go more smoothly

Yes, I took a look at that part of the manual. Pretty useless, I agree.

Yes, I took a look at that part of the manual. Pretty useless, I agree.

It's just speculation on my part, but I would not be surprised if the cause of the poorly written manual is that it is either a direct translation from the original by someone whose first language is not English, or was written by someone whose first language is not English.

Literal translations can sometimes have little resemblance to the meaning of the original, because language can be very context-sensitive. Many years ago, when my German was adequate (it was never native-fluent, and now I've forgotten most of it) I made some major errors that did not really look wrong with a literal translation from English into German.

IMO, it is always false economy to hire anyone but a native to translate into their own language. English is especially sensitive because of geographic variations. UK English and US English are generally similar, but there are some "entertaining" examples of very different meanings of words and phrases between them.

With best wishes,

Call me cynical.... but I've always thought the English language versions of the manual were written by someone with a very good command of English....

However, that person also only had a very cursory idea of how the devices work or what they were capable of!
The "full manual" has always seemed more like a "quick-start guide" to me.

I'm having the same problem with the TomTom in the 2014 Mazda 6. You don't say how you resolved it. Can someone provide details? Step by step would be nice.
