Is it just me or is anyone else having problems seeing CXRabbit's pics? They are not showing up in my browser only little red X's...

I don't think that is what they meant by a "longer fill" or "shorter fill". I think they are referring to the way some gas pumps turn off sooner than other resulting in your tank not being as full as if you used another pump. It does not matter how empty your tank is but rather how full you fill...

Mitza, I agree in general with your comments. I have gotten to the point with all the little things that I am starting to play with the idea of trading it in. None of the things I mentioned are big but they are like a small stone in my shoe that keeps nagging at me. Particularly, the lack of a...

No bluetooth No mileage computer No autolock feature after you reach a speed of 5 or more No mute button Better radio integration with nav...

CXRabbit, I had the upgrade applied about 3 weeks ago and I haven't noticed any MPG change. I have run about 3 tanks through since then and I am still getting between 19 and 22 like I was before I took it in...

AMEN to that! You would think this would be something they should have caught in early testing of the vehicle. The thing that really bugs me is that all of these little issues will probably be fixed in the 2008s so I am gonna want to trade... :)

CXRabbit, Scratch my previous comment about the random setting staying set when you fast forward. I was wrong... Must have been having a brain fart the day I thought it worked. Tried it again today and it definitely does not work. Sorry about the bad info... Sure seems like somebody screwed up...

Yeah, I agree like a trip computer... BTW, I sent an Email to Mazda customer service asking them if there was anyway to get the mileage computer added to a US model and here is the response I got: Thanks for contacting Mazda. Unfortunately, the trip computer cannot be added to the U.S...

CXRabbit, I feel your pain! One thing I have discovered is that, when in random mode, I can just FF through the song and the random setting is not lost that way. It is a bit of a pain but it works on my 7 anyway. You can do it by just holding up/down the toggle button on the wheel that changes...

Where is the ODBII port on the 7? I did a quick look and couldn't find it. Seems like this would be a nice addition to the 7 if it can be easily mounted so it looks nice. I consider the lack of a mileage computer to be a significant failing on a vehicle this nice... Wish Mazda had included it...

I have both the front and rear and they all fit nicely and were easy to install. I have washed my 7 several times since then and did not that they grabbed my sponge a little but that is very minor IMO. All in all I am very happy with the chrome strips and the way they accent my 7. Like you...

Did the K&N filter help the MPG? What were you getting before putting in the new filter?

Your explanation sounds pausible and fits with my observations as to how the system works. I did some experimenting similar to AZCAT's tests and came to the conclusion my is working as well but not like I expected. It is very subtle but does change the volume/level of the sound...

Yep, that's what happened to me. I didn't ask for the "lack of power below 2000 rpm" PCM they just applied it because I did not have it...
