    2020 Advanced Keyless Fob - How Do You Change the Battery?

    Thanks so much! I had a terrible time searching for how to do this. I had a CX-5 but my new CX-8 has this type of key fob and wanted to avoid a trip to the dealer and pay for a CR2032 battery as I have a pack of them at home already. One happy Australian here! Stay safe.

    Why does every dealer insist on Diesel

    All, I dropped my CX-5 diesel. It was 7 years old and I had enjoyed the response from the punchy engine. However, it kept getting engine oil light errors (120,000km travelled) and Mazda Australia offered to replace the short block for free- seems this is a fault with the diesels - at least the...

    CX-8 key fob battery replacement problem

    disable istop completely

    i-Stop grizzles Safety! Bloody nuisance I call it. I discussed with my mechanic (not a Mazda guy) and we agree the piddly bit of diesel I might save is less than what it would coast to replace the starter. However it must be a pretty good starter setup to handle all the load of constant...

    Why does every dealer insist on Diesel

    Hope the US does get Diesel someday Giddy 2c worth: I have a CX-5 GT Diesel (bright red). Absolutely love it- first Diesel I've ever had. Done 15,000km and have kept economy figures since new. Running average is 8.1 l/100km or 33.7 mpg for our US friends and I do mostly city work and short...

    Blutooth - Phone book download

    Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II and I can only get around 6 contacts to download, even after deleting and re-adding the pairing to the car. The contacts that do download look identical (eg they are in the phone memory) and some are in the phone and SIM. Seems no relation to what downloads...

    USB issues

    Think of a USB stick as a fragile device. I have worked in IT Support for 20 years and they fail regularly. On a Windows Computer you would (or should) use the "safe unplug" feature. On your Car I suggest you turn the motor completely off before unplugging. Just my 2c worth. Have a big range...
