How did the installation go, easy-peasy?

I went with a basic one as I live in a mild climate: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C39C86/?tag=m20b7-20 but if you live in a colder climate I'd go with the: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C3F3SO/?tag=m20b7-20 as it has a bypass so when the fluid is too cold it will not be cooled any further as...

Depends how often you change it. If you do often, cheaper is better as it has no time to go bad. If you like to "never do it again" go for more expensive. I think adding a tranny cooler is way more important then figuring out the fluid and it is the temperature that kills it faster rather then a...

Got a cheap HUD from eBay. Kinda mixed feelings. It is not as good visibility wise as OEM unit as those can bee seen reasonably well day or night. This this is more like evening/night unit.. perfect in the winter with little sun light :) Evening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqAMZlzjsqI...

Well, you have a Mazda 3 and 5 and 3 of that year are different cars. It would probably be best if you posted it in the Mazda 3 forum: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?430-Mazda3 Car is just 3 years old, dealer cant fix under warranty, or you are out by a few month?

add one more? :)

Personally I've been using Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle ATF from about 25k to the current 110k (kilometers). I got my car used and started with the 3 x 1 gallon flushes and 1 gallon change every 30k after (or every two years give or take). I also added external tranny filter and cooler from the...

Correct. Please feel free to read the forum on this topic at length. The screen inside the tranny is really a lifetime. If yo want a filter, add one. Stay away from flushing. Drain/fill 3 times with new fluid and add a tranny cooler.

Battery in the remote finally gave out. Over the last few month the distance that remote was working at has been getting worse and worse.. finally had to use a key :) Little video on how to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZXEL1VseQk

It is fine if drives, take it to independent mechanic to check. Mazda says fluid if lifetime. (consensus that the life time is rather short) So far owners suggestion is to replace every 20k-40k miles. Personally I do it every two years. Most stay away from Mazda fluid and use Castrol Import or...

Had some time to kill today and finally posted some new how-to Rear Wiper Blade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVCeE1KjZWQ Sliding door middle roller (hinge) replacement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlj_wGq5mds

Slept through the 100k but got it at 110k :)

Thanks for the update!

Sounds like a lot of work. Would have been cool if you filmed it.

ACC would be on the ignition and also routed to the cd deck. You can get it from either location, I think it is red. Just check with a volt meter. I wonder how ACC wire connection affects motion... If it was me, I'd just wire it into the overhead light and save the time running the wire all...

well, dealer should only charge an hour or two at most for this, so not gonna go broke programing it even at their high rates. I've never replaced one from another car. Perhaps in a collision one of the wires got cut? Plugging a new module should not set any airbags off, just unplug the battery...

They are same. Just higher trim have an option for a slide out tray in the 2nd row.

Cool. I wich I had spare cash to do this.
