Apparently they enabled it with Forscan software via OBD2 port. It's just beside the bonnet and petrol tank switch below ur dashboard side. That's how people permanently disabled iStop and do ECU tuning.

But you have to have the correct OBD2 cable + laptop PLUS knowledge on which HEX value to modify.

I guess most features are already ready but they locked it via software. Examples are the car auto lock, coming home/leaving home lights and etc. But our gen 2 already has that.

Can check with bro Sideq Salleh. If it's done via OBD2 port, most probably he'll know it.

But void warranty or not no idea. Or can always disable back for warranty claim.

Not sure how much he'll charge since we are talking about some good features here. The next question to ask if we are able to enable the Lane Departure Warning System, High Beam Control, Lane Keeping Assist and Driver Attention Alert which is only in the diesel variant. If the hardware we got in GLS is the same as the diesel warrant, very high chances we can enable it too.

Wait until the SA calls you and ask you to prepare the downpayment.
RON 95 is good enough, but some swears to RON97. Depends how deep is your pocket

RON rating is the rating for fuel combustion rate in high compression. Higher RON tent to more suitable for high compression engine. It has nothing to do with clean or dirt.

However,

our Malaysian official RON95 is still using EURO2, which contains higher sulfur then our RON97 which is EURO4M. Therefore, EURO4M > all. not RON97>all.

uhh, my sources are telling me that demand for 2.0GL > 2.0GLS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.5 and 2.2

this is the case especially after announcement of the tax break, as suddenly the masses can afford CX-5s at much affordable prices

if based on 0% gst...2.2D has higher discount

that's what i gathered when i chatted with mazda dealer...2.2D no available stock currently

this of kos i know mang...simple maths only

and yet 2.2D is unavailable when i visited mazda centre recently

I heard one of the branch manager said, Mazda car sales up 70% from original normal sales due to tax holiday.

Getting mine this Friday - fingers crossed no delays.

those r pretty expensive stuff.

for this 2,
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert

they r sharing the same sensors, a ex-CX5 guys told me he kena charged for RM2800 for 1 sensor only by mazda. Total need 2.
which is a 50meter x 4meter wide ultrasonic distance sensors.
not to mention this 2,
Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS)
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) – front

which need a Front Sensing Camera and 2 Actuator to move the light around automatically.

You had to have the hardware to enable these functions and features. Can't enable BSM if you don't have the wide ultrasonic distance sensors.

Yeah, I agree the availability of the Euro5 petrol stations will be an important factor in the decision making. For myself, fortunately the Euro5 petrol station is just nearby our home. Loving the torque on the diesel!

I booked mine in 2nd week June - 2.2D 2WD.

yes, the video shows in MCCM was me, FYI.

Jack liue did the modification to unlock those features too?

We have some fight back then due to the concept of unlocking and he blocked me in fb already.

ofcoz, i deleted the videos. everyone know who am i n keep privately msg to my personal profile.

i feel harassed.

i'm just a curios guy that love tech a lot.

lol. i never... tot of that. how thoughtful of u.

Actually based on the warranty agreement, it will void the warranty. Just that most manufacturer will ignore it as they know it is only cosmetic mods.

This is true. Even adding additional spoiler also void warranty but manufacturers usually give leniency a bit.

i am planning to change my HID headlights to LED headlights..but need to tamper the wire although my warranty period has ended

at the same time worried the LED performance not as good as HID....hmmm
