For all those who just bought a 2016 6 without Navi, our cars are pre-wired for Navigation. All of the hardware are installed on the car, literally the only thing you need is an SD card with maps Mazda Part# BHY1-79-EZXA - which is also the same for 2015 Mazda 3 and 2016 CX-5. Dealer wants $399 + $110 for one hour labor ( to put a f**n SD card into the SD slot in the armrest compartment) I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life at someone's face. They go for much cheaper online. Just thought I'd share with everyone. I just ordered mine.
P.S. be careful buying on ebay. The SD card locks on to the VIN after it has been installed and driven with for 62 miles. If you try to reinstall it in another Mazda it will give out an error message. So don't buy a used one.
I'm used to having free lifetime updates with my Garmin, too bad Mazda went with TomTom. My overall opinion comparing the I/O of two, Garmin is way ahead, way way ahead!
I've used the software to update my maps at least once--and even to create a backup card (that I use in the car). I have a 2016 Mazda 6.
But at some point the software has updated (it looks totally different now) and I've tried it twice without success. It says "insert your card" then once it recognizes the card I get "Server error" and "There has been an issue connecting to the Naviextras update server. Please try again."
Trying again didn't work a month (or so ago) and it's still not working for me now. Anyone else have an issue with this?
I bought an SD card off of ebay, and it appears to work fine. I don't know what will happen when it's time to update, or if I will be forced to update, but for the moment its working great. My card says Rev. 5, there seems to be some Rev 4 on ebay.

I bought one off Amazon for $110 in case it didn't work and I could return it. Worked fine and I updated to the latest maps and software thru Mazda site. It looked exactly the same as the eBay ones
