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

if you have the 10.25" infotainment display then you should have it - this shouldn't be an "ignite-only" feature.

hmm.. then it works differently than those i found in the Peugeot, outdated map i guess.

Is it still a good time to buy Mazda 3 now, this model released like 5 or 6 years ago. I am worried if I buy now, and they release a new model

Follow your heart..
if next year launch all new Mazda 3, bermaz will take a long time to bring it in. [eg the cx5 facelift, Kia sportage Pre FL]

For me I yolo only. After few years sell and change new car again

is there possible for us to update ourself?

should be possible, if you have the software patch.

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

bro, can you share your firmware version?
probably want to show to my SC and ask them to update for me

Still hard to find the spare part though. 🥲

I saw one in Amazon JP but no picture. Not sure if it’s legitimate

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

1.45" is actually plenty lot, i couldn't help but noticed now how small the 8.8" is when i drive my sister's CX-30 but you are right, the 8.8" is still very useable. i think the display got upgraded as well, the colors appears to be deeper (better contrast ratio) and slightly "crispier".

to put things into perspective, the screen size between an iPhone 16 Pro and an iPhone 16 Pro Max is only 0.6".

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

true

but i reckon that anyone who intends to keep the car for more than 5 years, it's worth the upgrade though. the additional screen estate is quite valuable when it comes to displaying maps.

Hi, im not sure if previous post have this same question. Anyone manage to find tempered glass for the 10 inch display (The latest Mazda 3 model)?

Yeah, I dont plan to change car anytime soon. Might use the car for more than 5 years until there’s a really good car that came out 5 years later.

i've searched high and low for it, even in taobao. there is none.

there's the TPU alternative though which i hate.

Exactly! I don't like the TPU one either I rather keep the original piece there without peeling it

i just leave the 10 inch display naked..

better to remove that thin protective plastic layer as it can trap dust in between which increases the chance of scratching the display. it should be quite resistant compared to the plastic cover used in the meter cluster

we don't touch it anyway so basically there's almost no need to wipe it.

I decided to take the plunge and risks. Paid the 10.25” screen😅 nearly RM4000 after conversion+shipping
