I know that there are a few late model Mazda owners here, and I'm wondering whether anyone has managed to get the live traffic feature working, particularly with an iPhone.

I was hoping that the system would be able to get connectivity through bluetooth since I have already paired my iPhone, but the handbook gives the impression that it needs wifi connectivity. So, this morning I tried setting my iPhone to hotspot mode but when attempting to connect the Mazda system it mucks around for a minute or two and eventually fails. I've made a couple of attempts at retyping the wifi password with no success and I'm conscious of the case sensitivity, so I'm quite confident that a wrong password is not the culprit.

Any ideas?
