to m3 owners here

for those of you who installed dashcam and using the 12v port, mind to share some pics how you route the cable?

getting my car later. Will share after tomorrow i diy..

i think we will see the cable from the armrest down to the seat belt buckle area..

visible cable for sure... just want to see how to make it less ugly and obvious

SA did for me using their authorized panel. No visible cable as it connected inside dashboard. Not void warranty since they do it before I got the car and already mentioned officially in letter that they did the wiring when I received the car. I just give them the dashcam to install

Is it hardwired or still connected to 12v port?

Hardwired. Not connected to 12v socket

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?

Hello Mazda 3 gang 🙌🏻

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

I don’t know where is their panel workshop. The important thing is I got an agreement letter says that they responsible with the dashcam wiring and signed during the day I pickup the car.

My i stop so far after 300km never activate before.. aircon around 24-25.

I stop normally activates at stops?

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

Thanks.. will try tomorrow.

Lovely NVH on highway. less wind/road noise compare to civic FE

I saw from FB saying there is Capacitor for Mazda 3. Why?

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone had experience in changing your windscreen before? Does third party and official windscreen affect the ADAS sensor? After changing the windscreen in general, are there any sensitivity issues with the ADAS?

hi all, want to get advice on steering rack, car is already 9 years old. now have knocking noise appear. was quoted 2.4k for a new steering rack. but do i really need to change entirely or where you guys send for checking if can be repair or fix?

would like know if replace the windscreen require FSC calibration or not

Not required. Installer will install back the device PNP back after new windscreen installation
