Wonder what difference in 2 Euro versions available; no helpful explanation shown

 

You have a version for the previous generation "MZD Connect" (8" display) and the latest next generation version "Mazda Connect" (10.25" display).
They are not compatible with each other and both use different Mazda Toolbox apps.

I see three "versions" for Mazda Connect:
KAAA 66EZ1
KS0G 66EZ1
BJGB 66EZ1
The number corresponds with the number on your SD-card.

 

Sorry to hijack but I just bought a 2024 CX5 Signature. I wonder about the SD card mentioned. I don't seem to have one. Does this come with the car or do I have to buy it separate?

 

At least in Europe it comes with the car and a 5-year subscription for free map updates.

 

They sell bootleg versions on Amazon … may be an older map version, and can’t be updated, but cheap backup to your phone’s navigation:

 

We did the same thing with both of our CX-5s. Bought a couple of "aftermarket" navigation SD cards from Amazon and popped them in. They work perfectly and are very nice to have in case anything happens to our phones. I'd rather pay like $100 for two, then $500 for only one card from the Stealership.
