I have a 04 mazda 3

 

It doesn't work on my 2008 Mazda 3s 4-Door Sport

 

I have an 05 mazda 3 if I were to purchase an 06-07 radio unit and plug it into my car would this feature work just??

and would the wiring hook up without having to purchase new wiring harnesses?

 

Yes - just push and hold the "INFO" button for about 3 seconds and the display changes from Clock mode to Trip Computer mode. I discovered that by accident this morning. I have a 2008.5 MS3.

 

so this doesn't work for a stock 2008 model?

 

What is this ?? the Unlock Code

 

Has everyone got this to work? Does it require a special version of the radio? I have a 2008 3 with a single CD and nothing seems to happen when I hold down the cd and AM/FM buttons. Any info would be great.

 

I recently bought a 2008 Hatchback sport. Read the posts, tried it anyway, didn't work. Disappointed, but not surprised. Ordered a Scan Gauge 2, am expecting it on friday. I am thinking of putting in an aftermarket stereo, anyone have any thoughts on this? I figure if I get the aftermarket dash kit, it should be easy to integrate the SC2 into that. Any words of wisdom?

 

I just purchased an '08 Mazda3 i Touring Value edition with the am/fm 6 cd changer. I attempted to unlock my trip computer following these instructions and had no luck.

 

Gave up on the internal trip computer. Picked up a Scan Gauge II. So much more info than the stock computer....totally worth it. $159.99 with free shipping delivered to my door from JC Whitney. Fits perfectly atop the steering column.

 

No luck unlocking the trip computer with the 2-button trick on my new 2009 Mazda 3 i Touring. It seems Mazda figured out what owners were up to. I'm all ears if anyone else has any ideas.

 

Push and hold the "INFO" button for about 3 seconds release and the display changes from Clock mode to Trip Computer mode. 2009 MS3.

 

i have the am and the fm button in diferent buttons .
my butttons are
Clock-Set-Fm1/2-Am-Cd-Media

do you know how to unlock the trip computer?

my model is 2008 and have 6cd
thanks

 

The audio system including dealer installed Multi Disc CD player comes in two configurations, one with DIS and one without DIS. The DIS includes miles remaining on fuel level, average fuel consumption, average speed, current fuel economy, etc. Mazda calls this system Driver Information System (DIS), and it is accessed by pressing the “Info” button. DIS is standard in Mazda 3 GT models.

If your vehicle is equipped with an "Info" button it came from the factory with a trip computer built in, check your owners manual for details.

If your vehicle has only the clock adjustment buttons, then it does not have the hardware for the DIS.

Just proves nobody reads the owners manuals

 

Hello Friends,

I need a help. I just bought a 2008 2.3L Mazda 3 from the USA. I live in Europe and we usually measure in meters, kilometers and liters.

Do you know how to change a display of the trip computer so it would measure consuming average not in mpg but in l/100 km. I can see on the display screen IT HAS such an option, i just don't know how to switch it.

thank you very much,

Mike,
