    Phone echo and text messages not playing

    Sorry about the angle, I usually access this forum on my laptop but to send the pic I did it from my phone.

    Phone echo and text messages not playing

    That's exactly what I'm saying. I don't use AA, never did, don't need it and my phone works perfectly and my text msgs come through, even the text msgs are spoken in a sexy voice when the car is moving as well as being displayed on the screen.

    *Unpopular Opinion* I just got greased at the dealer and I don't care

    Hope your hip replacement goes well. Hip pain sucks. For that matter any pain sucks. Good Luck.

    Issue with certain radio stations not coming in and missing SD card

    Are you talking about FM or AM stations? I have a 16 also and haven't noticed anything too bad about the radio. Do you have the Bose radio or the non Bose ? You can tell by looking at the speaker on the drivers door. It should say Bose.

    Phone echo and text messages not playing

    Disable Android Auto, try your phone just through the Bluetooth function. If it works fine and you can receive text msgs, (text and voice) then the problem points to AA. I just use the bluetooth connection for my phone and voice is clear and text msgs come through fine.

    Is this a symptom of the Ghost Touch?

    Mine hasn't done it again since I first reported it back in June. There's some infotainment settlement from Mazda. It may provide a fix for your problem. I would contact the dealer, see if it applies to your problem. I have an extended warranty so if it pops up again and stays I'll have Mazda...

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    They're not the same. The booster takes the place of another car when your battery is dead and you need a jump. It's not a trickle charger. ' I think the 1A (amp) means it will maintain the current state of the battery but not increase it. 2A will slowly charge the battery. When I put the...

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    A trickle charger, also known as a battery maintainer, is a low-amperage device that slowly charges a battery to maintain its charge over time, especially useful for batteries that sit idle for extended periods. It's designed to prevent overcharging and maintain battery health, rather than...

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    Mine stops and works exactly the way you describe. Once it's fully charged I might hear it kick on every couple hours for a few minutes. Maybe the old ones didn't stop but the new ones do.

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    Probably would be a good idea to invest in a battery charger if you have a garage or a carport or can park close to your house. I have a small one that will charge quick or just at a trickle. I usually leave it on trickle during the weekend since I can always take our other car. You can get them...

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    Doubtful. Another thing to check is the battery cables. Make sure they're tight and corrosive free. If there's white material on the cables where they connect to the battery terminals clean them off and apply some grease or vasoline.

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    Have a competent shop check the starting/charging system. They can do a deep dive on the components. They should be able to tell you if there's a problem and where it is. I wouldn't start replacing parts until I'm sure what the problem is. May turn out you just need to take it for a longer drive...

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    If the alternator was bad your battery wouldn't charge and eventually run down. I guess it's possible the alternator could be going bad but that would be one of the last things to check. I'd zero in on the battery, maybe get it load tested. That takes longer than one of the test you would do...

    Mazda3 doesn't seem to want to start immediately?

    Have you ever replaced the starter or alternator? Even though the battery is new doesn't mean it can't have a weak cell. I had to replace a battery couple months in due to a bad cell. If it continues you might want to get it diagnosed. Could be a warning of things to come. It's been in the mid...

    2024 CX-5 Turbo...Less Than Stellar MPG?

    You're not going to get the same mpg as the CR-V but you'll enjoy the ride much more. Dumped our CR-V and never looked back.
