I have to give another shout-out to Cary at invisicord.com. My original invisicord micro-USB became loose in my dashcam and I sent the cord back to him. He shipped me a new cord, free of charge (under warranty), which works great. Well worth the investment.

I've noticed that since COVID hit, and I'm working from home, rarely driving, my starts, especially in cold weather, are a little labored. Wondering if it's worth putting a slow trickle charger on the car for an hour a day when I'm not driving for weeks at a time(?).

I'd like to see that too. Can you post a picture? Walmart has a ton of seat cushions which return from a search.

Revisiting this. I still get a very powerful bass response, even at lower settings. It's not boomy, but it's fairly strong even at 1 or 2 setting. Has anyone swapped out a different sub-woofer for the Bose? Wondering if a higher-quality speaker would make a difference (or not!)... Thanks.

Totally agree with everything you said. I also purchased the Maxpider rear tray and have been very happy with it. Excellent price point and I also keep my 3rd row down 99.99999% of the time. It repels liquids well and is very easy to clean. Looks great too.

I installed the Mazda crossbars today. Double checked the side (L/R) and front/rear markings on the crossbars. Using the tool that came with the crossbars, it took about 30 minutes. Be sure to lay down a rag on the car while you're tightening the bolts or you'll scratch the paint. This is...

Read this one over the weekend: "This CarPlay Hack Makes an iPhone Save the Parking Location When Leaving the Car" Find my car!

Finally bit the bullet and bought an Invisicord for my dashcam. (And subsequently screwed up on the USB size. Cary at Invisicord was great: I sent the cord back and had my new one in under a week). If you want a really simple way to pull power from your mirror that take like 60 seconds to...

See this discussion: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/index.php?threads/2019-signature-vs-2018-gt-driving-impressions-dealer-loaner-car.123870728/ I noticed a driving 'experience' between my '18 GT and the '19 Sig. that the dealer gave me as a loaner. Steering felt much better in the '19...

I found this article a couple weeks ago and verified that this does work. Note: You must have the iOS 13 version of Shortcuts to see the "Automations" option. Older versions of iOS Shortcuts will not have this option, sadly...

There may be an alternative way to get better braking for relatively cheap: On my older MDX, I replaced the stock rubber brake hoses, from the metal lines to the caliper, with metal-braided lines. They do not expand as much as the rubber hydraulic lines and give a much stiffer pedal. With...

Chiming-in from the CX-9 side of the forums. I searched in vain for replacement wiper blades on Amazon and ended up just going to my local dealer. $10 each for the blades. Took about 60 seconds to install.
