Fellow CX-8 kaki here - 2.5 High+. Vroom vroom!!

Does installing a Hard-wire Kit for the Dashcam (so it remains on despite the car is off) void any of the warranty?

Looking for recommendations for Side-Step/Running Board - kids (below 12) and oldfolks really have a hard climbing into the third row seats.

Any particular tinting place to recommend, the default tint doesnt seem to cut it atm, gets so hot under the sun :S

wokay - anyone here changed their CX8 batteries .. like, too frequently?

my last battery change was back in March 2024, from the default/original to VARTA (via bateriku). Didn't last very long (or did it? genuinely confused) - cause we had to replace it AGAIN just this morning - from VARTA to ASTRA.

Why bateriku? Becuase the nearby Mazda SC quoted 600+ to replace the battery, and that's the "cheaper" variant which "boleh tahan satu tahun" - wtf? aren't these batteries supposed to last a few years, 2-3 at least?
And the more "atas" battery is RM 725, - kuat boleh tahan 2 tahun.
Meanwhile, bateriku quoted RM468 for the ASTRA, which the abang mentioned, SHOULD last at least a year or more - and door-to-door service.

Is there something wrong with our unit (CX8), maybe the altenator? cause eating a batter every year isn't a thing we want in the long run.. car's been with us only 3 years

that is the first thing we turned off when we received the car good to know the Astra is holding up well, hopefully ours can go beyond the 2years mark.. cause this is like the 3rd battery, and the car's just 3yo
