My wife's new 2015 Mazda3 is awesome, except that the iPod interface behaves oddly. I have 2 issues. But first, what are my expectations? With my Nissan Leaf I control the iPod from the dashboard display/controls. I play an album or playlist. When I stop the car then later start the car, the iPod picks up where it left off. That's what I expect.
1) Our Mazda3 does not pick up where it left off. It always plays the first song on the iPod alphabetically, which in our case is ABC by the Jackson 5. We start the car, ABC comes on. We navigate through the dashboard interface to albums, then our album of choice and start to play it. We get to the store, turn the car off, get back in – ABC. I hope there is a way around this.
2) Random glitchyness. Sometimes when we navigate to the album and the track, it displays the chosen track for about 2 seconds then it switches over to ABC. Other times, it plays the track we want. Sometimes there is no volume. We can see the progress bar moving, but no sound. We switch to the radio and it sounds fine, back to the iPod – nothing. Then later, without changing anything, it works fine.
Anyone out there with these issues?
