2015 Mazda3 Long-Term Update: Infotainment Tips and Tricks - Kelley Blue Book
A few months ago, we did a long-term update that went into some of the features of our Mazda3's Mazda Connect system. As we spend more time with the car, we've had the fun of discovering a few tricks Mazda programmed in. The Touch Screen is Your Friend. Mazda Connect makes it easy to safely juggle phone, navigation and music needs while driving. The main way to use it is through the big click wheel on the center console, but one of the pleasant features Mazda built in was allowing control through the touch screen. Tip: When using navigation, you can use your index finger on the touch screen to see a different part of the map. When going through the different menus within Mazda Connect, there isn't a clear area where your preset radio stations can be stored. Other systems may show numbers along the side of the screen, indicating presets, but Mazda's system is a bit different. For 2015 models, Mazda Connect comes standard on all models except the base i SV sedan. You can get a Mazda3 with Mazda Connect for $19,265, and navigation comes with the Grand Touring level and higher, or $23,565. That's a low cost of admission for one of the best connectivity systems out. Source: www.kbb.com
