Finally got my car today!!

Will upload pictures after I installed the duck tail spoiler and solar tint tomorrow

Need some advice from all the sifus here.. I've been playing with the USB and Bluetooth with my iPhone, anyone of you knows how to makes the default sound back to iPhone?

Bluetooth can be done as I can choose the default audio whether via iPhone or Mazda but I have no way to switch the default audio to iPhone while I'm using the USB cable. This really irritates me coz when my phone has Whatsapp, LINE or other messengers incoming messages, my phone doesn't have sound anymore, it just vibrates only...

And the most annoys part is that while I charged my phone while using Waze, my Waze can't talk anymore..

Your advice is much appreciated

Change ecu, tune and void warranty for top performance hehe

Btw does anyone know where is the coin compartment I the m3??

Thx bro!

Tried bluetooth that the sound can back to iPhone instead of the MZD Connect.. But still can't solve the USB one

Here's my ride just finished washing my car earlier


Here's the ducktail that I bought from derravile

Anyone know where I can find the paint color code for m3 white?

Just sharing to you guys that if your leg doesn't give enough pressure to the brake pedal, i-Stop won't kicks in

nt sure if u press the car remote inside the car can open or not

i believe someone mentioned before CKD have a button internally to open inside the car

is high spec grey really hot or what?? been waiting for more than a month... the SA keep offering white or aluminium for ready stock...

Anyone adjusting the brightness of the dashboard by twisting the odometer? I tried, but it seems like no changes oso. Wondering i am doing the wrong way...

For HS, does it come with Radar Cruise Control and Rear Cross Traffic Alert?

does ckd model has hill launch assist? just curious coz no mention in spec sheet

I turn off i-stop when caught in traffic  jam. I don't think it's good for the engine and aircon to start/stop so frequently. For traffic lights I let it run but usually only stop for 10 sec or less.  I don't think i-stop is very useful in our weather due to need for constant air-con. How much fuel can be saved for a few secs of engine off?

Sometimes during parking i-stop also operate. Very annoying.

Just got my M3 hatch with the leather seats on Thursday :



I sent it for tinting on Friday and this is what the tint shop did to it :



F-ckers poured thinner on the back window panel and left it there for 2 hours until it dissolved the plastic. Car has to go back to Mazda for repairs next week. Mind you this shitty workmanship was done by the authorized installer for an extremely well known tint brand.

If you go to the original webpage at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEy4teVKeLc and read the comments the product is available in Malaysia.

I called up the vendor but you won't like the price. This thing is useful for mirroring Waze or Google map onto your M3 screen and that's about it. For a price of RM2xxx I think I'll stick to using my smartphone on a car holder. Playing videos on the screen is distracting to the driver and not advisable.

I know that this is a Mazda3 club but I'm not comparing a current Mazda3 with a current Ford Focus MK3 - in this comparison, I agree that a Mazda3 is the winner for most of the areas.

The Focus MK3 is not far behind though as SDAC only needs to work on their after sales service (I find them rude) and they would be fine.

Contrary to popular belief and "my friend say" theories, throughout my ownership of my current MK2 Focus, I have no problems in reliability (no breakdowns, ever), parts (other than typical maintenance, nothing else has spoilt), cost of maintenance (I service outside since out of warranty, price is normal as well).

If you look at resale values of the previous generation Focus and 3, both have similar depreciation levels (remember to take into consideration that the previous Mazda 3 2.0 was always priced higher then the previous Focus)

Anyway, I'm thinking of changing from the older MK2 Focus to the current Mazda3. Reason for the change is ONLY because of the safety pack in the M3 high spec sedan vs the lack of it in C-segment cars at the time I bought the Focus. Oh, and importantly also because the M3 scores very high on NCAP and IIHS tests (as good as a Volvo but with cheaper maintenance, yay) - No other C-segment car comes this close.

The only drawback to me from the change is the smaller rear seat (which I don't really care as only 2 of us generally) and I feel that the pick-up is slower during test drives (on paper is faster, but the butt disagrees).

Might be the gearing I think as its tuned for efficiency. I saw that foreign cars have a "Sport" switch, is this something that can be added on?

I was considering CeramicPro coating. Any one using this one?

Oh, still waiting for car delivery.

LOL okay.. Can survey Nanolex as well though.. Their price is slightly cheaper than CeramicPro

I'm using LLumar Diamond 6, so far no issue with smart tag, just that during day time the tint is not as clear as V-Cool Elite (used on my previous car), maybe is because of the 6mil security thickness film

Umm.. Not waving.. How do I say.. It's like white-ish blurry when direct hit by sun light.. But this only affect the driver's side mirror

Guys, the power window of driver side labelled as Auto, what does it mean? Coz mine one not auto up or down oso when pressing once. I need to continuously press it for down and pull it for up. Are u guys the same? Or is it only my car problem?
