Is this different than the audio "going underwater" at every intersection when Navigating and Voice Nav is turned off?

I bought an iTouring manual HB with Tech package. I love the light colored fabric and absence of moonroof. There's no need for heated seats with fabric. I drove mine on some very cold days and my buns were perfectly toasty, though my feet were a bit cold. The iTouring MT is a compelling car...

I am liking v29 better than before. For some reason, v29 took several days to figure out how to load my contacts. Now it's working just fine. I haven't had any IT crashes since updating from v25.

I just bought a new LG flip phone (I dislike fragile smart phones) but v29 still doesn't load contacts. At least pairing works better than with my old LG flip phone.

V30 was recalled, as I wrote in message 188 above. V29 was (for me) a downgrade from v25. I wish I would have stuck with what I had before. My dealer needed to know which problem I was having before they would install the firmware for free. I mentioned that my cellphone wouldn't connect...

You were probably not the first customer to receive the update at your service station... or maybe my dealership is connected to the internet via a 1980's era dial-up modem.

People can differ on what is a reasonable price for a car key. $230 may not sound reasonable to the person who loses things often. The idea of purchasing a third car key before losing either of the OEM keys (i.e, to save a future expensive purchase) is no longer valid with the third generation...

V29 (or whatever they installed) killed my ability to associate my LG flip-phone to the ITS via Bluetooth. Previously it worked intermittently, now it doesn't work at all. There still is no ability to use my fifth generation iPod 80 GB (the last iPod before the Classic model) except over 1/8th...

On further inquiry my dealer's service department quoted me an electronic key programming cost of $105 plus 5.5% sales tax. A new metal key blank is about $35... so I will be pushing $200 even using my $55 used eBay key if I get the metal blank filed. A fully programmed new key would be $230 +...

My dealer quoted me $110 to reprogram the MZ3 key I bought off eBay, not including grinding price for a new physical key. Does anybody know where to get it done less expensively? Thanks.

My car is in the service department today for a firmware update. The technicians informed me v30 was recalled by Mazda this morning and it's been replaced by V29. I am not sure exactly what the issue was but v30 was said to be unstable.

What's different in V30?

Oops, I wrote too soon -- my IT system crashed today under v25, then spontaneously rebooted. So while not too annoying, it definitely underscores the reliability question I raised before.

I am still trying to decide about the v29 firmware update... Does it fix more than it breaks? I haven't had any BSOD with v25, but I did experience Nav unresponsiveness and an IT startup crash one time. I am scheduled for a firmware update on April 29 unless I cancel the appointment.

What does v.29 do differently than 25-27?

Perhaps there is a way to adjust the clutch weighting. Aside from plastic pedals, the clutch feel is perfect for me.

I haven't noticed clutch problems on my 2014 2.0L MZ3 MT-HB. Am thinking about upgrading to alloy pedals, though, to take my 3 to the next zoominess level.

Another iPod related annoyance is the radio always forgets what station it was on when I plug / unplug the iPod between rides. The radio goes back to 87.9 static every time.

My MZ3 is on firmware 25.xx. My iPod Touch G4 works reliably via USB, but my 80 GB iPod 5.5 Generation does not connect at all. This was the last iPod prior to Apple's "Classic" model introduction. I used the 80 GB iPod successfully with many makes and models of cars, and it works beautifully...

Same concerns as everyone else here. My wife's 2003 Mazda MPV has lots of rust on door panels and around wheel wells. My 2000 Prizm has no visible rust. Same roads, similar miles. Mazda has a rust problem. That said, I will continue driving my Prizm on salty-slushy days and drive my new MZ3...
