Happy to hear that! Hopefully the ATF drain and fill goes well. For the record, before I found out about this app, I had planned to use a non-contact infrared thermometer. I figured I might find other uses for the tool around the house compared to a thermometer with a wired probe. Glad I didn't...

The turbo starts spooling up noticeably around 2.4k to 2.6k RPM on the CX-9. Might be a little sooner on the CX-5, but definitely between 2k and 3k RPM. Ambient temps are cooler where you are right now, right? Between 0 and like 10 degrees? At cooler temps, the humidity in the hot exhaust gases...

I don't think so. I have a JB4 installed as well, also currently set to Map0, but it shouldn't have any effect. The OBD2 JB4 connector would be unplugged while the Bluetooth ELM327 OBD2 module is connected.

I see, in that case I think your dongle may be the issue. Mine is a "Veepeak" brand. https://a.co/d/0bejZSQI

Tap where it says "ATF temperature" in blue, then scroll all the way down. From the bottom, scroll up a bit to find ATF temperature, between "Gear (AT)" and "Lock Up"

Hi, does your Car Scanner app have the icon with the white engine on a blue background? If so, I used the same app with my ELM327 bluetooth adapter. No need for a custom PID, I just went to the Dashboard, click twice on any area, then choose Customize. Where it says Sensor:, I picked ATF...

I'm basically you lol, 210lbs, family of four with my heavier kid behind the passenger seat and my youngest behind me. With my 2018, it was a little noticeable, especially after installing the lowering springs since the wheel gap difference between passenger and driver front was easier to...

Came across one of these people recently while driving home from Disneyworld in Orlando. Light turned green while a guy was in the middle of crossing the street. He didn't try to hurry across like a normal person would, instead he continued at his own pace while the car to my right honked a bit...

Pretty quiet in here! All good so far with my 2022. Today I picked up some spare parts for an excellent price. Wagner rear brake pads, a pair of rear shocks, and a rear wiper blade insert. All for $40 CDN.

Coming up on 2 weeks of having this dashcam installed, no issues noted. It's handling cold weather just fine (down to -27c last night). I thought I might uninstall it at this point, but there's really no reason to remove the extra dashcam aside from the extra power cable and rear cam cable...

Ceika seems like a very good company in general, allowing such customization and providing plenty of support before and after the sale. I've emailed with Jean-loup before when I first came across the Ceika coilovers and every question I asked was answered in great detail. Can't wait to see how...

i-Stop can be turned off according to the Owner's Manual, but ideally you'd be able to turn it off and it would remember the setting. As it stands, based on the Owner's Manual, you'd have to turn it off every time you start the car. I think it would have been best if Mazda simply added physical...

Care to cite a source? I see i-Stop mentioned in the 2026 Owner's Manual, but I couldn't see anything regarding CD. Online vehicle builder shows CD and i-Stop in Standard Features section. I suppose if it's possible that reviewers would put their credibility on the line to lie about CD and...

I'm not a big fan of this reviewer, but he provides some insight and a clip from a guy named Rubin Archilla from Mazda Vehicle Dynamics. I think he also mentions that the 2026 model is about 150 lbs heavier than the outgoing model. Some interesting tidbits from Rubin's portion, starting at...

My wife is bad for this. She'll hop out of the car and pull her phone out as soon as the door closes, checking for messages or group chat notifications, completely distracted as we walk through the parking lot. It's so important to maintain situational awareness in a parking lot because you have...

Here's a good one: Don't be "nice", be predictable! I've seen a few dashcam clips of people on the highway with the right of way, slowing down to a near stop to let a car at a yield sign merge in. The intention is good, execution is dangerous. They would be better off moving one lane over if...
