Which is a plastic polish...I just used that item generically to encompass all the different flavors out there.Or just buy a headlight resotoration kit. I used one on my truck and it worked wonders.
A full restoration kit is more than just polish. They contain various grades of abrasive (sand-)paper and some contain a disc attachment tool for a drill.Which is a plastic polish...I just used that item generically to encompass all the different flavors out there.
Nah, you’re on the right path. They’ll usually include a UV sealant to keep it from yellowing after the polishing process.A full restoration kit is more than just polish. They contain various grades of abrasive (sand-)paper and some contain a disc attachment tool for a drill.
Being anal, I know, but...
Did you ever solve this? Getting started on my A229 install.PS: Also I realized that my dashcam hardwire adapter (that connects to the fuse box) shuts itself every time I use MyMazda to remote start the car. The only way to get it working again is to disconnect both fuses and reconnect them. Has anyone experienced this?
I documented my install using the plastic cover.Has anyone installed their dash cam directly to the plastic housing on the windshield rather than the glass? I'm considering it.
Thanks.I documented my install using the plastic cover.
MX5Things Thinkware adapter + U3000 "Review"
I posted this on a different thread, but I think it warrants it's own. It's just my personal thoughts and observations. Background: With so many crazy drivers out there, I wanted to install a dashcam on my CX-5 for added security. I chose Thinkware as, from BlackBoxMyCar, this brand handles...mazdas247.com
It is not straight. As seen on some sample videos in the thread, the video is slanted. Though it may be different, depending on the surface area of the dashcam mount.
There is a replacement plastic cover that has an integrated dashcam cam. But I was a leary on how well it handles extreme temperatures.
Only time will tell. And if all else fails, the covers are not that expensive. Here's the part numbers.Thanks.
My reasons for considering that location are 1) it's central 2) it doesn't interfere with my HeatShield and 3) it stays out of the sun.
I think with enough fiddling I can get it to be level.
One concern I have is whether it would sit too low compared to other locations. So one could situate it higher on the passenger side, but give up centering.
My only other concern would be removing the adhesive in a few years. We can be rough on glass, but we can't use steel wool or harsh chemicals on plastic. Will that be an issue? I'm not sure.
No, I had the same issue yesterday when I remote-started the car. It might have to do with the HK3 adapter that I am using, hopefully you won't have the same issue.Did you ever solve this? Getting started on my A229 install.
FYI. I put them right above the latches.I'll have to look into those. Snazzy!
Not sure of your car's MY, but if it's the same as my 2019, you need to connect the horn wire from the Fortin to your horn wire. See the last 2 pics at Just Installed Fortin Remote Start on my new 2016 Mazda CX-5 DIYInstalled a Fortin evo one with the maz3 t-harness and RFk442 extended remotes. Still some work to figure out why the horn does not sound when the alarm is tripped….maybe self install was not the way. Or if fortin was the way
You could always hide your physical key somewhere on the car, then just take the Fortin remotes with you.Need to carry oem and rfk442 remotes, as there is no hidden key.
So much for plug and play!Not sure of your car's MY, but if it's the same as my 2019, you need to connect the horn wire from the Fortin to your horn wire. See the last 2 pics at Just Installed Fortin Remote Start on my new 2016 Mazda CX-5 DIY
