QUOTE(zafferZ @ Sep 29 2018, 02:44 AM) Been using the Sech60 & C50 HuperOptik tint, no issues whatsoever with SmartTag. GPS signal also is good. No issues. HAHA. I havent got my car. Still waiting now almost 4 months already! You know what, before this i joined the Mazda CX5 Club Malaysia - MCCM. Got one post where people asking about speaker options. And one of the member posted a comment criticizing the BLAM & I 'liked' that comment. After few hours i noticed I've been kicked out/banned from the group! I just cant imagine i've been kicked out from the group just because i 'liked' a comment. I didnt even leave any comments on that post. I just liked the comment and how on earth i've been banned because of that?! Its just ridiculous! P/S: Now i can only join the other Mazda CX5 group on FB. I got banned as well, and many others. No problem. Many good members willing to share information. Just like here. All good and merry. No need to be sour. |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Sep 27 2018, 03:14 PM) I understand your concerns and I've done some research.. For their price? I'm satisfied with the offerings. Already bought shades for added comfort and privacy. So really zero needs for me to splurge excessively on removing the sides tints.. At least for now.. Couple years down the line? maybe.. jeritan.maut.. Here are some photos of the Ninja shades as fixed.. Do excuse my potato camera.. Driver's side[attachmentid=10041154] Back Seat[attachmentid=10041155] RWS[attachmentid=10041158] Very important to keep em balls cool..  Thank you bro for the photo.. it look llike the Ninja Shade fit really well. |

Anyone noticed our car battery requires distilled water? How often you do diagnose it?

Hi guys, I just went to do "idle tuning" last weekend with Sideq (To be precise he wasn't there but his staff Khairil was there. Very friendly and helpful guy). Gonna share with you guys. I will try to explain it based on what I know so feel free to correct me. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
What is "idle tuning?"
Idle tuning is to tune the idling RPM when the car wasn't moving, slowing down and etc. The original idling RPM is 500 to 550 which is too low and it causes a lot of shaking and vibrations when the car slows down or when the car is not moving especially at traffic lights. The tuning will increases the idling RPM to 700 which eliminates the shaking or vibrations from the car.
So what's wrong with the shaking and vibrations?
Very uncomfortable for the main reason. Secondly, strong shaking and vibration is bad for the engine mounting (replacing it could cost 1-2k or at least that's the amount I heard) - same goes to i-Stop as the constant start stops also causes a lot of shaking and vibration (I have no solid proof for this so it's up to what you believe).
What's the process?
It's a very simple process. The guy will connects the OBD cable to the car and then laptop, opens up Mazda utility software and starts reading - which leads to around 30 minutes. Then the tuning actually takes only 5 minutes to change the original value to desire value (500 or 550 to 700). Then it'll take another 10-20 minutes to write back to the car.
How much does it cost and does it void warranty?
The cost is only 150 bucks. Well it does certainly void warranty if found out but since any plug and play also void warranty, I guess it should not be a big problem. I was told there's no backlog or data change log to proof that idle RPM has been tuned and if you want to be safe, you can always find the guy and ask him to reverse back the changes.
How is it now?
So far so good. No more violent shaking and vibrations when I slows down or when my car was on static waiting at traffic lights. The idling RPM will constantly be at 700. Will continue to monitor further.
What's next?
If all is good, maybe by end of the year I'll go for the Stage 1 or Stage 2 ECU tuning to see if it helps in throttle lag, smoother gear change and better pick up response and performance.

 Good share! Personally, I'm waiting till after warranty for such tweaks. Giving potential issues as below and the cost of an engine replacement. Too risky for me to tempt Mazda Malaysia with warranty claims. QUOTE(bohoong83 @ Oct 1 2018, 09:34 AM) Was aware of this from last year or so. So far, it appears to be an issue in Thailand and Taiwan. But mostly Taiwan. Here's how I see it.. The diesel engine launched just 2 years ago in Malaysia and I don't think anyone has driven over 100k km just yet. So If we experience one or 2 cases here from older owners, I'll still be within warranty. We diesel owners just have to band together and file a large lawsuit against Mazda Malaysia (as the Taiwanese are doing), particularly if Mazda's refused to recall the vehicles and permanently fix the issue. |

Not to mention the damage it does to the engine mounting. |

However, don't experience such issues in the diesel variant. Since there's ample power from low revs. No jerkiness, shakes or vibrations during idling. Will try to take note of its idle rev position later. What I'd like to tune is for better fc and power, smoother or more linear gear changes..especially down shifting, encountered a few times while coasting and going downhill leading to a traffic light or sharp bend, the engine becomes unsure or slow to downshift and just holds on to the previous higher than needed rev. Noticed this happening about 3 times.. Last time, I had to shift to "M" mode to manually downshift. So not sufficiently annoying yet.  |

Mine w/ site security anti break type and front is c50 or 70 ... close to 2k if not wrong about 2 yrs ago... Can you please share where did you install ? Thanks! |

Wut? but i dont experience that before during idling.. btw, yesterday i went to check my tire air pressure...Fuuh..each tire have different pressure.. one got 280, 2 got 290, last one 300 I changed all to 240. the car drives even smoother.. |

I am driving a 2.2D AWD but I do not have the problem you described and also when slowing down at traffic junctions and/or coasting down the elevated highway ramp. I am from Penang island. I have been taking the longer route; the new elevated expressway leading to the 2nd Penang Bridge and Pantai Dalam/Permatang Laut expressway, to get home, and to work since I took delivery of the car. The power delivery is so smooth and it is very addictive. BTW, I used Shell and I am getting an average fuel consumption of 14.1km/liter for town use. Any 2.2D owners can share your fuel consumption? |
