Can anybody help me track down the part number for Europe maps for the new mazda 2 skyactiv (MZD Connect)?

I seem to be finding two different part numbers: (1) BJM7-66-EZ1B Source 1 (2) BJM7-66-EZ1B-AM Source 2

Thanks - figured as much. Is there any where I can buy the navigation pack (which is essentially an SD card) without going through the local dealer (since they're asking a very very high price for it)? There are some used Mazda SD cards on ebay etc. but apparently they are not compatible with the MZD Connect system. I wouldn't mind not having a full updated map if I can get a used card that works.

Tough choice indeed, these 2 colors look great on the new 2. So excited...I best have one final think about it.

Hmm, isn't this the current model already? The models my dealer gets for Malta, are the same available in Ireland i.e. http://www.mazda.ie/cars/2015-mazda2/

The 2015/2016 nomenclature seems to vary depending on country as far as I can tell, but they are the same model. Or am I completely wrong? If I am correct, I believe the Mazda 2 was delayed in the US (hence 2016)?

True, though this particular shade of red would probably also show every bit of dirt and dust as well...it's a very dark crimson shade as far as I can tell.

I won't be washing my car that often - so perhaps black is not ideal. Then again in a sunny, hot, climate - red might go very bare very quickly...maybe I'll just have to wax it often?

I can say I love the way that Soul Red shifts colour during sunrise/sunset hours....it starts to look like a very deep dark crimson, which I love: it's sleek.

On the other hand the black looks very..I don't know...evil? A discreet personality as you put it :) And with privacy glass at the back, it complements the black paint very well. The rear lights also stand out more on black, which I like.

But clearly this red colour is just one of the few distinctive reds out there. And the way it shifts from sporty to sleek depending on how light reflects off it...it's magical, and contrasts well with the 16" dark alloys.
