2014 Mazda 3 touchscreen display can not be used when driving over 5MPH. Also the active shutters in the grille close at 6MPH, and re-open at 87MPH. Yes, 87MPH. TMYK.

That's because the flux capacitor activates at 88 mph. You did check the box for the flux capacitor option, didn't you?

On the touchscreen, elaborate.

Does it shut of ALL touch functionality when moving or just GPS use? If GPS, that seems like standard fare (which no one implements anymore), if its actually locked down entirely, da fuck Mazda.

Shutters are interesting. Aerodynamic witchcraft.

Like the manual on the 2.5, it'll be coming "later".

Not sure. Not a lot of info out there yet, even for the dealers that HAVE the cars.. well, the touring model with standard radio.

It locks out certain functions, but not all it seems. But there's redundant steering wheel controls and the i-Drive-like interface knob that I forget the official name of.

I'll have to go try one to see if it becomes an issue, all depends on whether the touchscreen is easier to use than the knob. IF thats the case, then damn them for locking it out. If the knob works faster, nothing lost.
