    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Here we go. I did not do the parking mode wiring, as I am not concerned about monitoring while parked. I used a Dongar adapter and a short 90° usb-c cable to power the camera from the rearview mirror. For the rear camera I routed the cable as you can see in the pictures. The excess wire is...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I had a Garmin 57. Viofo feels to me like a big step forward. The audio seems a bit weaker than Garmin's audio but I can live with that. Bought the camera for the image, not for the sound. Today I managed to run the wire for the rear camera so now all three channels are up and running!

    I muted the video because I was cursing at the Jeep driver like a mother father. 😆 Seconds earlier she cut in front of me!

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Installed the front and the telephoto camera using a Dongar adapter from the rearview mirror. I still have to run the wire for the rear camera but I am too lazy. 😆 Telephoto works great if you ever need licence plate number in case of an accident or something. Normal view vs telephoto view

    Replacement HID headlight units for 2012 CX-5?

    My first Mazda CX-5 was 2012. The DRL and High Beams share the same bulb. LED bulb can be installed, I've done it with Morimoto LED bulbs. But! A big but! The DRL/High Beams is a reflector, not a projector, like Low Beams. Unfortunately LED bulbs don't work well with reflector headlamp. You will...

    Issues with new Mazda Update Toolbox being unusable

    So, in conclusion, my conclusion: Mazda software runs just fine. Check your Windows Security settings or your antivirus software settings, most likely it blocks the access to the SD card.

    Issues with new Mazda Update Toolbox being unusable

    You made me curious so I checked my own SD Card. When I plugged in the card reader, I've got a message saying there were some errors with my card. Right clicked, repaired the card, first step. Do not format it. Right click on Properties, then go to the Tools tab and click "Check" button. Once...

    How to completely disable cylinder deactivation?

    Hold my beer! 🤣 On my first year I put 55.000 miles on the car. Got a job which required an extensive background check which lasted for about 9 month. Until I've got the letter saying I was all good, I commuted to work 5 days a week 167 miles one way, 334 miles a day! You do the math. When I...
