Let me explain. When setting it up 1st. time you need to calibrate. Takes a wee bit of time. The display shows similar lines like CX-5 reverse camera guide lines. Propagating outwards in semi-circular lines (like the Wifi symbol in iPhone). There are 2 sensors - so 2 propagating sets of lines...

If he has moon roof - then the OEM moon roof deflector $70 USD helps a lot.

Exactly. 100% agree. Hate those phone mounts. As for your question - its pretty darn costly. I am in same boat as you. Here's my take on this: The updates offered are a load of BS, YMMV. About 18 months back exit # changed near where i live, important highway. Around Q4 2017 updates rolled out...

my garage changes - there are 6 parking spots and approach is horrendous. Almost all cars parked there has scratches, dents. Then - in the offsite location I need to park again in a very tight spot and cant add anything to walls there as don't own it.

I agree with you - 100%. There's a Mazda Corp. bulletin which says to dealers discussing these hacks. Using which the dealer refused. Thanks - didn't know about re-enabling USB access. Good to know. Thanks. Stand corrected. Serial cable then no more required unless user foolishly upgraded again...

Front? Rear? [I'd dare venturing here and say - Rear?]

Chris - a hypothetical question - if Mazda engineers get hold of your car, will they recognize it, as theirs originally? (cabpatch)

I have the nose mask. Horrible looking. Rhino. But when I am going to God Forsaken places where I know will be hit by stone chips, etc. and / or a long +200 mile drive I put that thing on. I never, ever keep it on more than few days at a stretch as I have heard causes issues to the underlying...

Now that - is a different beast. Those films are super strong. Somewhere here there's a thread of a guy @ Aus. who drove over horrible conditions and had 3M VentureShield (I think) and nada - nothing. Those things self heal also, I think.

How long are you lurking here? The critics here rip you apart if you are wrong. Could not take a chance, had to be sure. LOL. This is Mazda - perfection is demanded, every time....

In my both cars - batteries are still okay, about 20% and assure you: heavy usage. User manual says averages around 6 months. Best part: Simple AA battery!! There's 2 ways to activate this - 1. the smart phone itself has an app and you can keep it running or bring it up (do not recommend it) 2...

Sorry guys to to put water over the fire but: I have a 2016 and bought almost identical ones off eBay. Actually, the ones I bought were really tough plastic, pretty thick, etc. Again - no drilling, etc. required. Looked identical, also painted. Issue - after an year, yanked them off. The front...

As many know, Aussies get the goodies like front parking sensors, whereas here in US it's not even on the menu. What's offered are the rear parking sensors at a rather hefty price which BTW - no one installs (almost) since rear camera is default. Anyways - due to a peculiar and rather...

This is NOTHING - see this: Linky

Alphadog - ceramic coats go on really thin and very liquid. Its actually not easy to apply. I found waxing considerably easier and more forgiving. In fact, detail shops undergo training for the real good ceramic coating OptiCoat, for example - on how to apply it.

Howz the weather temp?

Nothing beats 3 to 4 times clay/polish/wax. Period. Ceramic coating are a joke for the price. I was quoted 5 year protection for $900. My detailing routing costs me $100 a pop or $300 / yearly. Do the maths - the final 2 years 4th and 5th. seems to be worth it. But did you know these coatings...

You can remove it but: - when Mazda releases the next firm wire it'll wipe out your hack. Then guess what? In case you want back the hack - you'll need that serial cable again. - AIO offers other stuff too - in case in future you need to upgrade/add: you'll need the cable. Here's the worst...

200% correct. 1st: I would not even glance at figures showing acceleration, etc., ever. If I need to - I'd save $ and buy a Porche where such factors - matter. For me - it's a family 4-banger. Period. Into which I get at zero costs: no CVT, awesome handling, riding dynamics and throttle...

You have set it to "Lock all" in "Park". As soon as you enter and close the door - the gear's in park. So the vehicle thinks it needs to lock it and so it does exactly that. Ideal situation will be unlock@Park, lock@Drive. GxIbm is correct.
