Out here everyone goes to Costco, so do I. All their technicians are trained by Michelin. They won't even ALLOW anyone to heckle them to put even 1 psi above what manufacturer recommends. Period. They won't put ANY wheel except the sizes that came with the car - options. I'd go with their...

That's because you don't drive above speed limits..........:) This might help : http://infotainment.mazdahandsfree.com/navigation-settings?language=en-NA

If your car is under warranty have it checked. Ask them to check out the antenna. In my area and everywhere I drive to - HD is super strong.

Mazda's implementation OR NavTeq for camera is rather foolish. Here's why - near my area I have a highway and from which a ramp leads into a T-crossing where there's a speed camera. The crossing itself is almost underneath the highway. Guess what - the darn system beeps to slow down when I am on...

Post a photo of the key fob. Pretty certain its not Mazda. No one said it: but OEM remote have 1 big advantage. It can start the rear defroster which also turns on the heated side mirrors if so equipped. Finally if you have BT can car is mapped remote starting it using OEM does not enable it...

This was 1 point which I was also thinking but since I needed it desperately still bought it. This is what after using it for so long realized. In 90% cases as I approach something its usually always in front of me (nearabouts) and then moves to either corner as I turn my car. I am covered...

That's a very detailed and good explanation. Yes - I meant the prosumer version - 3 to 5 years. I have too many friends having it, all done in various well reviewed professional detailing shops and few self executed. Here's my honest feedback - no matter how good it is with water and dirt at the...

EU - mandatory to have rear fog lights. If in US - dont bother. My friend's car had it and was constantly honked when in traffic light and folks behind thought he's about to reverse into them!! It's very uncommon here and people aren't used to it.

Frankly I wouldn't want some display cluttering my dashboard especially when the information is sought perhaps once weekly if not more rare. There's bluetooth enabled TPMS sensors at approximately $50 for 4 and can send the data to smartphone via bluetooth.

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...
