Mazda3: How To Unlock Trip Computer!

[Dragonfly]

Got this from another site, but interesting!

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)

Try again, It worked for me and my friends

If u have separate AM and FM buttons holding the FM button is enough (As I can remember)

I think unlocking of the trip computer is not possibles for models after 2007.
