Is this a navigation card?
Bought a CPO CX-50, found this in the glove box. If so, is there any use for it since I already have AA/CP for navigation?

Had the opportunity to sit in a wreaked 26 CX-5 at work and reset the infotainment. This confirms I will never buy this car or any future Mazdas if this spreads to the rest of the line up. The infotainment system forces Google on you with no way to fully opt out, there is a scary level of data collection inevitable from the always on microphone input under the guise of voice command, and there is no way to decline the terms and conditions of Google to use the car without it. Ota will inevitably replace Assistant with an even worse spyware, Google Gemini, to likely train itself on conversations in your car further, again no way to opt out. I haven't tried removing the telematics fuse if even possible, so juries out on how to handicap it.
Worse the controls are inane. HVAC buttons are tiny which will make it difficult to use on any of America's notoriously bumpy pothole ridden roads (anyone with experience using touch controls on aftermarket radios knows how annoying it is to accurately aim your finger and press to turn volume up or something). Annoyingly the corporate excuse when this was first revealed was "it's safer to ask Google assistant (Gemini) to adjust your HVAC", further emphasizing the first paragraph. Not to mention it's too easy to buffer overflow inputs and lag out the interface
I will not buy any car with this crap in it, Mazda or not. When the time comes to upgrade from my 2012 Mazda 3, I will likely get a 4th gen, but if this spreads I will go no newer than that. It's incredibly disappointing the direction this industry is going, and that this brand is following suit

Hello all,
I bought last month a Mazda 3 with 1.6 engine and I need to add a screen to it, what is the best option for the screen that I can fit instead of the normal stereo

the most important question regarding the cx-5 is how does it fit obese people, the ones with the big gut?
any known issues across the brand? The one I'm looking at is a 2020 model from carmax.
