Updated the infotainment system on my ND to the latest level which also includes V12 of the Gracenote music database. Worth considering unless you are using AIO tweeks

Iâve got 70.00.367 EU N on my 2017 ND1. Does the new version address the DAB radio issue where there is a silence for a few seconds at the start of the BBC News? I recall it being a stressful experience doing the last upgrade so I donât want to do another unless there is a clear benefit to be gained. Thanks.
Looking for rust, rear arch liners off, back box off, that needs a new joint gasket anyway. Thankfully I havenât found much, a miniscule amount, surface stuff really still needs attention though. Car has had the full underbody treatment including cavities previously, just a little touch up needed.
Thatâs enough for today, my bones are aching.

I havenât noticed any particular silences on Dab other than when I lose the signal. Having completed a number of infotainment upgrades I certainly would say the process is stressful!
Stressful - agreed. Iâve done it twice so know the form.
Silences - on DAB, BBC Radio 4, when the news comes on on the hour, there is a few seconds of silence after the pips but during the headlines. This doesnât happen on my wifeâs 2020 Mazda 3.
Latest firmware - can you send me the file or a link to it? I canât find it by searching. The link where I found the last upgrade I did is now dead.
Thanks.
Sorry spelling mistake should have been âwouldnât say the process is stressfulâ 
. PM me for the latest update
Good work keeping on top of the rust.
Hopefully youâll keep it awayđđ».
Mines in at JR Classics in a couple of weeks, for the full underbody treatment.

Thatâs where the previous owner had this one comprehensively treated, done a good job. Just touching up a few areas, literally will be done in minutes. Takes longer to strip the arch liners and back box off.
Brake caliper refresh (paint) and service the brakes next whilst itâs off the ground

I did loads of research prior to booking mine in and been on their waiting list for 11 monthsâŠ
Arch liners are a pain but well worth it in the long runđ

Would you mind saying how much they have quoted for the work they are doingâŠ? Considering getting mine treated and didnât realise they are not that far from meâŠ
While I have the space, just getting ready for the next MX-5. Applied mist coat, other DIY jobs had to go on holdâŠ

It all depends on what they find when itâs in the air and what treatment you require.
Mine really doesnât look too bad as Iâve kept on top of it, but you never know.
If you look at the website and class your car as Small Modern Car then youâll be in the right area.
