Any GL spec owner here upgraded keyless entry?
Meaning that exactly same pressing button on door handle to lock/unlock the car like GLS spec.
*
Have you bought the car? If not, probably you would want to consider the GLS model. The delta is RM16K. (5y = extra RM270 a month, 7 years = RM200 a month, 9 years = RM150 a month)
The most useful features is the Front parking sensors and Smart City Braking Support. The latter is very important when you are at places like Penang where ppl like to drive fast then suddenly jam the brake to cut queue without indicator. I experience the auto braking twice in my first 2 months of ownership. Now i tend to keep a bigger gap between me and the car in front.

Exterior
LED daytime running lights
LED rear combination taillights
Piano black door pillar garnish

Interior
Keyless entry
Metal & Wood dashboard trim
Power-adjustable 10-way driver’s seat
Leather seats (RM3K if you want upgrade on GL)
Navigation function for MZD system
Power Boot

Safety
Four front parking sensors
Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS)
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) – front

Ok.. points noted. Thank u ..
I don't wish to install any amp to boost up the sound.. just wanna get a decent speakers.. maybe budget around 2k?? Any shop recommendation?
*
The stock speakers are quite decent. Not sure if it worth to upgrade it, the MZD system itself might be your limitation.

Well you wouldnt know but most of the time will happen when you try to get out of a junction on a wet road.
TC would kick-in to limit the torque, wouldnt it?

this is 1 of the reason why i install side steps...at least this will prevent "normal car" hitting our door when they open their door...
*
You can only prevent the front door of the car next to you. But not the rear door. Most of the dents are caused by the sharp edge from the rear door.

Ya man I also didn't know our battery type is not dry type until I went service and they charge me for battery water then only I knew.

You mean maintenance free battery. Not many cars on the road in Malaysia come with dry cell battery. Most of them are sealed wet MF batteries. Mazda cheapskate force us to use non MF batteries.

But the Ninja shade that sold in Malaysia is made in Malaysia.

Anyone has experience on the NVH in comparison with say the current gen CRV?

2.0gls has a better NVH than CRV on highway cruising. Not sure if it is due to the stock tires..

Check this utube

Hi guys, I own a 2013 CX5 which I think is the 1st batch Malaysia CKD. Lately I notice the quality of the rear camera image has detriorated especially at nite. Very blurry especially with lights from behind. Is this issue with the multimedia display or wear n tear of the rear cam sensor? How much will it cost to replace the rear cam? Can it be done at the Mazda SC?
Thanks in advance for your helpful guide.
*
Did you check the camera housing? Maybe the plastic lense turning white.

Lol. not gonna leave this fella go yet.  brows.gif

Yeah, I just drove a full spec test unit last time, but until today still no chance to drive my sister's car.. One thing that annoys me was the Lanewatch, it pair with a low res camera and low refresh rate screen is very dangerous.

During the test drive, I nearly hit a car while looking solely on the LCD screen via Lanewatch.  doh.gif

LaneWatch is a useless tech in Malaysia. The reason is majority cars on the road has broken turn signal stick located behind the steering wheel.
