Is there an
opportunity at
PDI to test the
system?

No special action is required to activate at PDI other than the room fuse installation,
which is already part of the current PDI. We recommend checking for signal after
installing room fuse. See the image below for how the connectivity signal bar looks
(it's the vertical stack bar on the right bottom corner). This connectivity signal bar is
not displayed on the "Home" screen, so the PDI Inspector would have to go into the
"Entertainment" or "Navigation" menu to check it. To confirm it is working properly,
the bar should be white like the image below.

If the customer is downloading the MyMazda app to use the Connected Services
functions, they will sign the disclaimer as part of the MyMazda process. If the
customer is not downloading the app but the dealer has set it up for their own
purposes (e.g., vehicle location), then it is the dealer's responsibility to disclose to the
customer.
