I did have a little difficulty in the beginning but after fiddling and seeing this video it seems easier now

I bought a cx-30 last may. It has a similar infotainment system. It took a little bit to get used to and once i did i prefer it to the touchscreen type systems. It’s very easy to use.

This phenomenon is called Induced Demand, the more we like touchscreens, the more we want to have them no matter the reason behind. Because car accidents it is better to keep the focus on the road and use real dials and real buttons, no eyeing 100% by touch, that is something this car maker understands

After using the infotainment dial in my CX90, I never want to go back to a touchscreen. Safer, more accurate and simple to use.

Set up one time, learn the different menu commands and you should be all set. Part of the problem today is that people don't use their minds enough, they rely on technology which makes doing simply tasks difficult

I do like that they offer the different interaction methods when in AC. The overall cabin looks very nice as well. Very clean without being too clinical.

Pressing the favorites button next to the Commander button will display all the favorites. It does this on the CX-5.

It’s an easy system and underrated in my humble opinion. I am always cleaning fingerprints off my Ram touch screen. My wife has a CX 90 and had 2 other CX 5s. She loves it and is a master of it. It’s actually slick.

Apple car play is only touch on certain trims and you have to set it as touchscreen in the system.

Control knob on Mazda Infotainment is far better, simpler and more intuitive than in Cadillac or BMW I drove for almost 2 weeks as rentals .
There were studies done in Germany and Sweden and control knob is by far the safest way to operate the infotainment systems.
Mazda system is super intuitive after few months of learning curve and I would never use touchscreen with Android Auto that I use all the time .
To some this learning curve takes few weeks and to some who just don't use it or don't want to learn it will take much longer, so the point is - take time to learn it and you'll love it .
I would not buy a car without it now ! Hope it helps .
Oh and I had a Cadillac Three row SUV for 2 weeks this summer and it's control knob system just did not work well at all, so I started using touchscreen and let me tell you, finger marks on the screen when hit with direct sunlight became unreadable due to finger marks making hazy and greasy filter that did not allow me to read navigation when in direct sunlight so I had to pull over to the side of the road clean the screen so I can see where I'm going ...it is yet another proof that touch screen only systems are inferior to what Mazda does ! Not to mention when driving over bumpy or off road where pointing and touching small icon in LCD screen is just hard and very frustrating.... We use to have a Jetta with VW touchscreen and it was always not as easy as on our Mazda

Was thinking of a Mazda 70 this spring, not a fan of the info center but not a deal breaker. I think the “mouse” dial would be nicer than the reach and probably safer. Like anything new it will take some getting used too.

You should've shown how to input addresses and destinations via keyboard, not voice. I hear that's the worst part of this whole setup. Also, how do you zoom in & out of Google Maps?

[Kingthin]

I cannot under why everyone is all bent over this.. It works fine, besides people use carplay and android auto. Reason behind a non touch screen is people are not too bright to use touch and drive at the same time..

Question. Have you ever been able to add a menu/option favourite other than the radio station, destination or contact ones? eg. a different option on the same menu layer of that paddle shift logic favourite. Also, have you been able to delete a favourite other than the radio station, destination or contact ones? eg. are you able to delete that paddle shift logic favourite?

[chathuripiumika]

can you pair Android with mazda using bluetooth? My car cx90 screen goes black and froze when I try to connect my Android to my car

[yvonnezertuche]

The Premium trim does not have touch screen, even with AppleCare play

[chadgodfrey]

That screen just looks out place in that interior. This suv is interesting but it’s just rear wheel drive only needs all wheel drive.Sporty luxury not feeling it

[jonjon]

I have a 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium and my infotainment does NOT turn into a touchscreen in Apple Car Play. I’ve seen multiple videos claiming that it can, but for whatever reason mine does NoT 😩

[ubaurbanus]

how about when your driving? it stops being a touchscreen till you come to a stop.

Who cares about car play, what about Android Auto?
