How to Unlock Trip Computer

[SteveSter]

Requirements:
- Mazda3 (2006-2007 it seems) with steering wheel audio controls (can be i, s, or Mazdaspeed)

Steps:

- Before you start the engine, hold the CD and AM/FM buttons.
- Start the engine (keep holding the CD and AM/FM buttons).
- After a few seconds, you should see the display read "DIS ON" (driver information system)
- Stop the engine.
- Start the engine again.
- Touch the SET button (':00' button on 2008 including Mazdaspeed3) to see the trip computer.
- Touch the TIME button to see the time.

Your owner’s manual explains how to use the trip computer. With the ignition switch ON, press the SET button (manual says INFO button) to cycle through these 4 options.

- CONSUM CUR: Current fuel economy (calculated every 2 seconds)
- CONSUM AV: Average fuel economy (since battery was connected or resetting the trip computer, displayed every minute, to clear: hold SET for 1+ seconds until the display clears)
- REMNG: Distance you can travel on remaining fuel (must add more than 5.3 gallons to reset it)
- AV: Average vehicle speed (displayed every 10 seconds, to clear: hold SET for 1+ seconds until display clears)

That's cool. I'm going to print this out and bring it to my garage later. Thanks!

Does this work on the Aussie model?
Does yours have a Bose with 6 disc MP3 player? (Mazdaspeed3 that is)

Ive looked into this in great detail. It is radio dependent. Some have it built in but some dont. My early 08 does not work but I know some that do. Other forums have hundreds of pages on this.

Actually, before you PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, hold the CD and AM/FM buttons.
