inside mazda connect, about signal setting. Got one is 3 what what signal, I forget the name now when I write this lol.. What is that setting for?

Yes it is technically available.

Its just like after buying your car. then you send it for full repaint job. Or Wrap. Similar situation.

Hey guys, any of you used the Mazda wifi function before?? what does it do, i tried using with my phone tethering but can't connect, some other forums i read said it needs some special structure of passcode to work(bug)? anybody actually tried it out??

And any of you updated your mazda MMS before?? north america site but it updates the mazda system supposedly, gonna try it out soon

Perhaps, the moment u come out from you house to the toll consume around 9 - 14 ltr / 100km. From toll to toll the system will start averaging it and perhaps that's how you get 8.1 avg the best. One day when i am travelling again KL to Penang to meet customer and back straight without cruising around Penang, I am sure i can reach KL -> Penang -> KL (one day trip) with 1 full tank of 51 liter at 760km with 90kph. (Cruise all the way. No foot.)

Let me take a snapshot to show u in future that i achieve 4.9 ltr/ 100km. My best is 4.6 ltr / 100km at 85 ~ 90kph on highway for 3 hours 30 minutes.

But i would take my norminal travelling at 5.2 ~ 5.6 liter / 100km which is still fuel saving for me which I will be earning through my mileage claim.
My consistant pump (KL -> Penang + 1 hours in city [30km+] - 30 ~ 31 ltr @ RM70+) which means stuck in Penang island consumes more.

Tips of Earning through mileage:
Claim : 1km = 0.70 [RM/km] (Even standard 0.50 [RM/km] still earns)
Usage : 35 [liter] (worse case scenario) / 5.2 [liter / 100km ] * 100 [km] = 673 [km]
Cost : [RM] 70 / 673 [km] = 0.1040 [RM/km]
Gross Profit : 0.70 - 0.1040 = 0.596 [RM/km]
Conclusion: RM70 spend on 673km, claim RM471.10, earn RM401.10
*This earning will go to your service eventually. *

So every km I travel, I earn RM0.596. If I travel 673km multiply with RM0.596 = RM401.108 Gross earning. =)

Remembering there is 1 arcticle of Mazda 2 1.5 with skyactive engine in thailand achieve 1000km+. Travelling from Bangkok to Hatyai if I'm not mistaken. That, i want to know how they really achieve it. From Paultan review or somewhere. Can google up.

Basically, so far the wifi thingy is for you to search local in navigation. Mine somehow bug. The wifi no longer work and I can't search the places online anymore which I need to go bermaz to update to the latest software version(not sure Malaysia Bermaz has it). When i get my car, the sw version is 50.1.xxxxxx. The latest is 55.1.xxxxx.

Heard from my gf said the tv advertisement showing newest m3 2.0 skyactive MZD can connect to Facebook. So there must be some sw update or smth in order to do that.

Sales assistant told me the same thing when i got my car, can surf FB.
GPS got 1 show traffic option, i think its show where got jam so if connect wifi, you can see like google or waze which road is jam etc... if got show which road got speed cam then best hahaha, they sales fella told me DIY update via SD card found in your arm rest compartment

Yeah, that's correct. The wifi also shows traffic. Is their Mazda server though, not link to google. I tried their traffic, cannot rely. Waze is the most efficient.

I wish their traffic link to waze then we know where got speed cam. Ha ha ha.

yes we can. the diff is the bank will not pay you anything while SA will get handling fee for the purpose of handling loan application on behalf of the bank.

you can access fb and twitter using aha radio app.
install aha radio app on android/iphone then connect it to mzd connect.
under entertainment, select aha radio. make sure your aha account already linked to fb and twitter

Ah.. I did some google and found out the 3 flash turn signal.


Lane-Change Signals

(Without Smart Turn / Full latching turn indicator)
Move the lever slightly toward the direction of the change ―until the indicator flashes― and hold it there. It will return to the off position when released.

(With Smart Turn / Without latching turn indicator)
To signal a lane change, press the turn signal lever up or down halfway and release. After releasing the lever, the turn signal indicator flashes three times only.

It will be useful if we can mirror our smartphone to our MZD screen so we can run Waze or Google map on our phones and project onto the screen. There is a hardware solution which I know of but it is very expensive (abt RM2K). Hopefully in future somebody finds a software solution or a cost effective hardware solution.

I agree with you. Mazda should consider to add Android Auto or Apple Car into their mzd connect software in next update.

Update MMS or navigation maps? If it's the latter, I've done it on mine. Just unplug the SD card from the car, plug it into my laptop and launch the Toolbox.

Be careful what you wish for. Our maps come with camera info.
About 1 junction away, it'll prompt you about the camera. Half a junction away another prompt. One last prompt just before you pass the junction.
Sometimes it spams you with a lot of information

"Red light and speed camera ahead."
"You are over the speed limit. Reduce your speed."
"Red light and speed camera ahead."
"You are over the speed limit. Reduce your speed."
"You are over the speed limit. Reduce your speed."
"Red light and speed camera."

yea. that female voice is very distracting. hahaha.

Hey guys. I heard the tyres 215/45 R18 for Mazda 3 are difficult to find. And it is more expensive, since it is not common on Malaysia.
What do you guys think?

Hmm year end already Mazda also not much promotion, considering to buy car now or next year. Is it true year end car resale value very bad? If yes I might as well wait a few weeks for 2016..

But some friend say doesn't affect as it look at car manufactured date and not registration date...

Did Mazda announce they will hike up prices next year? I heard they won't but no official announcement..

Whats the best deal that you get?

just a $500 rebate only

Hey bros. can somebody tell me how does the computer calculate the range everytime we refuel?

yup. very rare to find. haha.
but i believe we can up to slightly longer width like from 215 to 225.
any sifoo can confirm here?

I think it's based on quantity of fuel in tank measured against your average FC.
