Fix it for ya and 100% agree b/c this applies to all material things. *When* MFG moves to Vietnam/India/Africa, cheap is still cheap 😅. Considering this is a discussion about Android radios, this forum can only confirm 'how well' it fits, 'what it looks' like post-install, and confirm what is...

Thanks! I need to fix/replace this section as well, and patch a leak in the piping that runs to the exhaust. The hanger attached to the short piece is soo rotted, I can bend it easily. Do you know/ask the shop what type of material their pipes are made of? This is my biggest concern that...

Good timing. Curios, how much piping did you end up getting fab, what type of pipe material was used, and how much did it cost all together? I had a split in one of my flanges and have been using a coupling with two clamps. Recently I got under and confirm there are at least 2 leaks in the...

(link to ebay pic) The HVAC controls use 2 types of "T"wist out incandescent bulbs with green silicon cover. IIRC, the bottom 2 bigger holes use replacement #74 bulbs (T5?) that can be taken out with long/narrow needle nose plyers, and the top 3 smaller holes (for the dials) are neo wedge...

Looks nice! I've been debatting one of these for a long while. These are common 9" Android headunits that come in a few different size/shape and MANY different specs. The kit just includes the bezel, which you can google "Mazda 5 android frame" to make your own setup. With all things tech...

New brake/clutch fluid (flush or bleed, if not done recently) Inspect clutch slave

something worth checking, clutch safety switch. Have a crimp-able jumper wire handy in case it happens again.

Like all used car, buy the newest model year with the cleanest history (ideal if verified single owner and NO history of title transfer across states) at the best price you can afford... Don't settle for Sport or Touring trim; save up/look for the GT (had Sport, current GT). If you are hands...

During the “many attempts”, did the starter crank at all?? If it just randomly started, then I think you may have experienced an electrical gremlin. DSC controls TB and ABS, neither should impede starting in normal case. TB should never be 100% closed, unless TB is completely gummed up AND...

This should be a common question regardless of the car but I bet if you google Mazda 3, you'll find specific answers. Btw, do you know what "kit" you are aiming for? This will determine what it comes with.

Did you use parking light (turns on dashboard) as the trigger wire? If you use a 12v ignition power source to trigger the relay it would not light up the dash -you still have fog light toggle as master switch. I agree the +12 gen has large black covering with anemic sized fog light that looks...

Don't know about tire height limit but these options can achieve what you are looking for. https://www.spaccer.com/en_US/ stock springs are progressive so you lose spring travel (height). These spacers are easy to install and make up for the lost height at the expense of trading-off the...

Nice mod but why not simplify and use 1 relay to trigger the parking lights or log lights? Personally, I find DRLs annoying/useless. Stay alert and drive safe. https://shoppress.dormanproducts.com/daytime-running-lights-a-bad-idea/

The Interstate (4yr, 6mo old) only has 36 mo. exchange :( The previous Kirkland (JCI) was so much better. Put in a new 34 (b/c I was stoopid and this time it died on me while driving). Still can't beat Costco prices.

Thanks for posting. I am aware of the retrofit kit, was hoping there might be a software option that may also enable it. Another one came to mind (don't need to research it but appreciate it if you do). Are there any settings for 1 or 2 touch power window control for different windows?

All roads lead to @Maikel :D. FORScan can calibrate and bleed ABS valves/solenoids (individually!). https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/spongy-brakes-bleeding-doesnt-work.123876410/#post-6771374 ^post is a redirect b/c it touches on FORScan.

Thanks, this is great! This post will be immensely helpful to those with ABS issues (soft/spongey initial pedal feel), and I put refence back to this post. I suspect the menu option should be the same for both gens but someone else will have to confirm. A few more fun things to change...
