Will do.. Condo access card issue is a non-issue for me. Cuz my condo so cheapskate, implement wireless tapping but the old school kind where we still have to bring down the window and wave the card in front of the sensor.. Issh.

im using trapo on my current car also. have to make sure the cutting is cun. if not might slide around. i bought the universal type and cut to my own liking but sometimes if the position is off, will hinder accelerator pedal abit. i think if buy the precut kind will be better.

for my boot tray, been using it for >5 years. still there's abit of a lingering plastic smell on hot days. but no boot tray, i guess there are many other plastics parts in the car also. although quality maybe better than boot tray plastics lah.

My next to add on list is the front dash cam

i have screen protector not TP for MZD

do consider dual cam too, sometimes we get some unfortunate even (kissing) from the back too...

is that so? maybe i should re-read the manual again sigh.

based on my experience lah, but i better re-read, not sure disabled or faulty, gotta check.
it's made of gorila glass wor, need to stick screen protector?

Whoever kisses you at the back - is by default the one at fault

you never know, shit happens, so it's just in case kind of thing. won't be too much more expensive i guess.

I do and in fact I just got bang recently at the back. Driver behind paid for all the fixes. Sigh just got the car for 1 month and already got accident.

If like that, side also need dash cam already Front dash cam should be sufficient but if you are paranoid you can put behind also. Those good front and back dash cam will cost a lot. So far I only know 1 model which is cheaper and good quality but it's made in China

Yup.. Professionally cut to fit the car is best. Guess it's a no no for the rubber cargo tray for me as yet. I like the stock one.. So no biggie.

Ah, I see.. Yours matte? got photo of it when applied? Fingerprints & scratch marks how? major concern.

Tested and can confirm that touchscreen works with Bluetooth phone connected.. Works either parked while in D at traffic light or in P mode... What's your FW version?

Gorrila glass or not.. Seems like you never seen those guys at the fast roadside/petrol station car washes work and or the cloths they use to wipe.. Since got mine, been washing and cleaning myself. Decided one day I was too tired and took to one of the best cheap washes I know. Owner's a pal and known each other for at least 5 years and they've been the one washing all other cars. Despite the special treatment I usually get, Boss made sure his boys washed and wiped the car the proper way..top to bottom.. and gently.. Still, I couldn't bear to it. Won't be going back there for awhile. If I do, it'll probably be with my own set of wash & microfiber cloths..

Having a back dashcam is good to show the history that happens behind the car. Good to show road rage driver causing drama behind before coming in front. More rope for hanging..

I think the reliable 2 channel dashcam & on the cheaper side would be the Yi Mirror Dashcam. Price around RM300+

It got front & back cam, non-intrusive, intuitive & sensitive touchscreen & the cam quality is quite good. The only downside is that it does not use super capacitor battery.

Other reliable 2 channel dash cam would cost at least RM700 & above.

May I know which accessories shop that provide this dash cam with installation ? Thanks.


Also, any idea which front dash cam that can reuse CX5 stock rear cam to record??

Mind to share the brand name ?

Using this one will lost the auto dim function

You can enquire official Yi Malaysia facebook or website & then they will provide you the details for the dealer nearest to your place

Ya that is true, the mirror will be replace with a touch sensitive mirror that also acts as a screen for the dash cam.

But thats okay for me & the dash camera is less intrusive.

That's a huge downside, cuz such batteries kept in cars is a huge no no for our weather. Capacitor ftw. I also like the auto-dimming feature on the CX-5's mirror and besides, after clipping this on, does the lens see around the radar/sensors bulk thingy?

Previously done a bit of research and the Blueskysea Mini 0906 takes my vote for an affordable and decent dual-dashcam with super capacitor. It's either that or one from Viofo definitely.

Yea, what I wanted to say bro voncrane already pointed it out. I like the auto-dimming feature on the front mirror so no touching that. Yi Mirror Dashcam is using battery instead of capacitor. Under our hot weather, battery will get bloated easily although my old Yi Dashcam is working fine for the past 2 years since I don't usually park under the sun for long time. Moving forward, I'll switch to capacitor dashcam.

I would recommend Blueskysea Mini 0906 for dual dasham or Viofo A119 v2 for front dashcam. Probably will go for the latter one.

Agreed. A happy owner of 2.5GLS. Not into turbo tbh as my past experience with one kinda takes away the fun of going thru the revs as with an NA.

Yes, it's an SUV but hey, if it's JUST an SUV, we won't be buying a CX-5 would we? For that price, you'd get a bigger spaced CR-V though agility of the CX-5 is quite surprising IMHO. It's also my first SUV.

i previously use Yi camera which i find the quality quite good. but not sure if they have the camera for the back too (not the mirror type which we don't wanna lose the auto dimming function).

Well you can set 2 x Yi Dashcam for front and back. Just need to do a bit of wiring. I previously use Yi Dashcam too and it's pretty good. Budget price as well
