I feel the same. I've only used the touch screen a few times. The controls are very similar to my BMW.I enjoy using the commander controls. I rarely use the touchscreen. I'll be honest, one of the reasons I bought this (and will buy a Mazda in the future) is because I get these controls without paying $40,000+ for a car lol
They're supposed to work with physical controls. My mom's new Passat has AA/CP and they work with the physical controls as well as touch.If and when we get Carplay or Android auto in our units, I imagine there will be lots of fingerpints on our control panels... Unless perhaps the commander controls will be able to control those functions as well.
Yeah I found that too after doing some more digging after I made the first post. Man the rabbit hole goes pretty deep!Well, I know what I'm doing on my lunch break.
I followed a few "related" vids from that one and stumbled across Mazda CMU Hacks.
Time to do some research!
All I really want to do is change the nag screen and change to pause on mute. (why doesn't it pause on mute now?!)So far I have done the all-in-one tweak and its working great:
- Changed wallpaper
- Changed the "danger!!!" nag warning to .1 second from 3 or whatever it is (much faster statup)
- Enabled touchscreen
- Got rid of "check surroundings" nag warning on backup camera
- Got rid of blank album art box for albums/XM that doesnt have it
Someone implemented Android Auto?? Holy crap I need this!The most impressive one is implementing android auto! Just wow! Im on IOS though, but its almost enough to make me want to switch back to android! LOL
Could you provide a thorough guide on how to remove the annoying "beep" every time you put the car in reverse? ... please!Yeah I found that too after doing some more digging after I made the first post. Man the rabbit hole goes pretty deep!

Super cool. Lots of other hacks out there from custom apps to making the the album art bigger.

That couldn't be simpler; buy a US car.Could you provide a thorough guide on how to remove the annoying "beep" every time you put the car in reverse? ... please!
The initial beep is to confirm that the reversing sensors & sounder are in working order before you start reversing and potentially hit something if they're not.Could you provide a thorough guide on how to remove the annoying "beep" every time you put the car in reverse? ... please!
The current OS version can be found by going to Settings > System > About > Version info.All I really want to do is change the nag screen and change to pause on mute. (why doesn't it pause on mute now?!)
The first requires a current operating system, but fixing the operating system looks really hard. How do I tell what version I have now?
