Uh.... you talking about a firmware update? Pretty sure the dealer can accomplish that for you. Probably no more than an hour labor charge at most. Certainly no more expensive then sending you headunit to a third party (or "Mazda") would cost.

I thought the msp16 had to do with the lack of power for your engine....is there supposed to be something else for the radio HU?
