Strange. If its panel then supposedly every SA will have contact. My SA insist hardwired will void warranty, even if installed by her its going to be connected to 12v socket

Can share the panel workshop? Also which letter was the hardwired part mention?

Very nice. Personally I prefer M3 for the design and handling but I wanted more practicality so went for CX30 instead. Gonna look like your car mostly, polymetal grey + black trims including rims

Might need to step the brake pedal harder, there's a certain level to activate it. Not sure about M3 but this is valid for CX30

There should be a setting in your infotainment

This is normal.... usually safety settings will be reset everytime you restart the car

Only way to bypass is via some OBD plugin or hack the software

Wait I rmb you used to have a M3? Or was I mistaken?

Sold your CX30 now?

Mazda's TSR (traffic sign recognition) for some reason only relies on the SD card map data instead of using the camera.

I have it activated on my CX30 with the SD card, but sometimes it's showing a different speed from what's shown on the real sign

Its possible to change the screen to 10.25 inch (someone here did it)

But so far no one did for the HUD upgrade. Either its hard to get the software or there's something else involved

Honestly I don't think it's worth it just for the extra 1"+ of screen. The pre update size of 8.8" is still very usable. Also I read somewhere the resolution is actually still the same... so you get more ppi with the older screen

On the other hand, the AA / AC support for HUD is something I will gladly pay for

Yeah but to get the new screen seperately, the part itself costs more than 1k iinm... to me not a very tempting upgrade unless I have spare cash lying around

that's hefty...

can share the link to where you buy the part? I'm curious if there's one for CX30 as well

Just found today from another CX30 owner that it's possible to hack the TSR to work using the camera instead of only the map data.... but you have to go to Thailand for it

They can also unlock the TPMS, as well as this feature call iDM (Intelligent Drive Master) which displays an indicator on your dashboard depending on how you drive the car and provide a score (something like an eco indicator on Honda or Toyota i think). This feature was only available on the JDM models apparently. Gimmicky but cool to have I guess

done in Thailand, DIY or done by someone here?

I just hope one day someone manages to crack the AA /AC support on HUD.... assuming it's only software and nothing else

I thought M3 should come with Stop & Go already?

Anyway can't seem to find any local Mazda coders... only Thailand

CX5 using different system than latest M3 and CX30

Yes you can find some mods for the older system here, but so far none for M3 and CX30

These 2 are not just part of the screen. Either software or the whole ICE hardware unit is involved

The first can be easily solved with a dongle. The second is still a mystery

I just use one of those air vent type and mount it to the left driver vent, can provide some cooling to the phone while fast charging via cable as well

But if you want dashboard type and dont mind magnetic, can try look for Baseus C02. I saw some owners using and its quite neat looking

Not sure about M3.... but in my CX30 the suspension is tuned towards firmer side. Not to say its uncomfortable but you will feel almost every road imperfections

Mazda comfort starts from CX5 above

Looks alright to me though.... unless you prefer an arm sticking out from the dash

I only PPF the frontal portion and door cups of my car. The rest do coating will be sufficient. So far I haven't spotted any significant chips or I didn't look hard enough

But anyway dont fret too much over little things like this.... the first or 2nd year of ownership maybe yes you will feel it until the honeymoon period is over

Still lots of complaints about thin paint from CX30 owners... but most of them are from other reasons like bump from other car doors, which I guess M3 also suffers the same looking at above
