Dear all M2 owner, would like raise some questions on M2 alarm system.

Is it normal when your door is not closed properly/not closed at all, then you look your car using the alarm, the alarm wont be initiated/making noise/goes off? The alarm will only initiate when after that, somebody poke something into the key hole near to steering (when attempt to steal the car or something)? Also when I used alarm to lock the car then use car key to unlocked it, the alarm doesnt not goes off as well. Is this true??
This info got from a used car sales man, according to him this is what answered by PJ SC.

Appreciate you guys' answer, from the M2 owners themselves.

Thx =)

Added on January 18, 2011, 11:48 pmJust gone through some UK, HK, Europe post & noticed there is a problem on the alarm for M2. They claimed the alarm will goes off for nothing. Some said Mazda has changed the alarm supplier and this effects worldwide.

Well, hope can hear the response for M2 alarm in MY from you guys soon. The M2 I'm going to get does to goes off for nothing just that it wont sound even is the car is unlocked properly unlike ordinary cars.

TQVM!!

Nope, it's all original. Then I agree with you, it does not come with the alarm system. I'm getting a used M2, tomorrow collecting. Notice this problem when testing the car (used remote to lock, then used key to manually unlocked -> no alarm. Went to PJ SC request for diagnosis report and service (even if only 6600 mileage, because I need to assure everything), but I forgot to raise this question to them. Then after, the used car sales man told me the remote/alarm thingy is all original. Well, is there any necessity to install an alarm system for M2? I feel a bit awkward w/o alarm ><

Ya, the high spec used M2, the sales man claimed that the owner went overseas and need to sell off the car. Then I found this car on an used car trade website, the owner himself stated he wants to upgrade to others car. One is the discrepancies in the reason of selling off the car. Another one is, I drove the car and I feel superb bouncy and great gliding sounds of tyres & the road surface, might due to the 16" rim. The sales man does not sounds genuine as well. Hence, I decided not to get the car.

I heard from a sales girl in Mazda Taman Megah showroom, there is one used M2 sedan in the market currently (i forgot she said it's silver or metropolitan grey). A lady owner, her customer also, selling away because she changed the whole engine due to a minor flood in damansara. So, guys, becareful of this if you are intended to get a used M2.

Thank you so much for your info on the alarm thingy, it helps a lot =D

Look forward to join you guys after collecting the car tml. Details will be posted tml, when I've officially get the car. =)

Added on January 19, 2011, 8:59 pmYeap, thought of the interest rate as well. After compared and taken into all the calculations, at least 12k differ, thus I still decided to get the used M2. At least the car condition is as good as new, low mileage, still under free service & warranty. I personally dont recommend to get a used car aged >3 years. My friend has bad experience with his previous used VW beetle & I believed there's a lot unpleasant stories out there on second hand car.

Wow, you are a rich fella..lol..yeap, the gps/dvd unit is truly tempting

feel like getting a set of window visor too, where can i get it? must get back to SC for installation too?

i tried~~ can open my baby boot =) and the signals light flashed for 5times while the boot is opened.

reverse sensor works on me..im a noob, i used to drive hatch back car for 6 years..now changed to sedan, feel difficult to estimate the distance (both side and rear).. even bang my dad's vios once on the packing ticket machine while doing reverse parking >< i found it useful lor after drove estima & city with reverse camera..well, im a noob =S

how about window visor? any suggestion whr can i get it?

bubs66, press and hold for a few seconds then it shld work, initially i tot mine got problem, so the afraid was I ><

anyway, any TT recently? would like to catch up abit with M2 owners, though Im an automobile noob..lol =)

Happie CNY buddies!!

wua wua~ glad to hear that there are so many mica gold here xD i thought I'm the only one ><

I need some tips for dent issue also..not for my M2 but for my dad's Vios. I heard my my-vi owner friend, what she did is pouring boiling hot water to the dented bumper & the dented part "boop" and resume to original condition, due to hot-expansion i supposed. yet it doesnt work on my dad's car

Well, any tips tips tips??

hey guys, anyone installed any devices to save on fuel consumption. does it really works?

i've came across this item called "fire storm booster" in a chinese forum. I'm not sure whether can i put the link here, pls inform me if there's any offense so that I'll remove it (http://cforum.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=2123365&extra=page%3D1&page=9) According to the seller, it can save petrol, give more pick up, and even can be a tool for anti-thief purpose. Hmm...

Wonder anyone knows about it? Feel like getting one for my baby M2 but am hesitate. Hmm

lol, another single lady here, no worries..but im an automobile noob.. feel awkward to join

anyone tried this before? when the car is locked, you used your remote to open the boot, without closing your boot, you go and open one of the car doors (which happened to me because I forgot the car is still locked). And then I heard this sound, sounds like alarm.. But I remember M2 doesnt equipped with alarm system, then what is this sound?

shlimm, pm me too, have to pay extra for the remap thingy? how much?

I see, all the while I thought my M2 doesnt has alarm. Well, if it has, how come when I use remote to lock the car and unlocked the car with key, the alarm will not sound (usually it will for most of the cars come with alarm)? I have raised this quest before, but others told me M2 has got no alarm.. kinda confused of this alarm thingy..

Well, the KNN filter bulk order ended? Anyone installed it yet? Can share share the efficiency & after-use comments?

Added on February 13, 2011, 1:25 amMy friend sometime mistaken my car with Gen 2/ Persona.. He says they somehow look alike with my M2
But I still love my M2 =)

Added on February 13, 2011, 1:28 amAnd, I noticed my M2 gives FALSE reverse beeping sounds too... Not that frequent but few times already these days.. Anyone settled this false beeping sound problem? Can share share?

Also, my fog lamps masuk air.. T.T

Can I send to SC ask them to fix these two problems? No charge imposed right?

My tail lamp has minor water issue also..visible during rainy days.. Nowadays weather is hot and such problem doesnt exist.. How do I explain to the SC to prove that the tail lamp has this issue? >< Yet for the fog lamps, the water accumulated in it, super magnificent.. Can book for appointment if I were to send to SC? Planned to go to Federal Highway SC

I heard newer batch has removed the front sensor, is this true?

if newer batch has no front sensor and newer batch has alarm..
mine have front sensor and alarm...then what batch is my M2?? I rly get confused sometimes..

Added on February 14, 2011, 8:52 pmi tried this..when the car is locked, I open the boot with remote, and i go and pull my door handle as i tot the door is already unlocked..then i heard this sound..dont think is just normal high pitch sound..the sound remains until i use my remote to press unlocked button..i think it is alarm sound..if it is not, what sound is this..?

Added on February 14, 2011, 8:57 pmand..i really need you guys' comment..
did your passenger seat safety belt reminder gives false remindersss??

i experienced it..twice.. i know the passenger seat is weight-sensored..i did put my files and water on the passenger seat all the while..total weight should not be more than 4kgs (2litre water and less than 1kg papers)..then why the safety belt reminder sounds..? ><

can i survey survey what's the age group of M2 owners like?
20-25? 25-30? or older?

and when will be the TT? =)

dear all zoomers =)
long time nv come in

just did coating for my bb M2 yesterday, looks pretty now =)

good good, hope to hear more feedback for the k&n filter . btw, anyone did ECU? can share a bit?

notice something on my M2, two of the passenger seats window frame (the black plastic thingy positioned vertically, height ~7"). from the passenger seat, can apparently notice it is very sticky (even sticks dusts, hence it is obvious)
anybody has the same issue? for better explanation, i'll try to snap some pictures and upload here >< happens for both of the rear windows
