I'm not familiar with wireless scanners but I would be curious if the added cost is worth the convenience. This one http://www.amazon.com/BlueDriver-Bluetooth-Professional-iPhone%C2%AE-Android/dp/B00652G4TS is around $100 and looks like it has a lot of features that you might not necessarily need/want if you're just looking for something that will read codes. Poking around on Amazon some more might find you a better price tool with less features.

If you don't mind the plug-in tools I would highly recommend http://www.amazon.com/Autel-MaxiScan-MS300-Diagnostic-Vehicles/dp/B001LHVOVK/ref=pd_sbs_auto_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=16NHDV5KSVQW086RGHD0 - I bought one to troubleshoot a recurring CEL and was pretty happy with the price/ease of use. The Autel tool only reads and clears codes; you'll have to google the actual code to figure out what it is. Good luck!

I like the BSM okay, but it's a complicated and expensive solution that is easily solved cheaply and mechanically with convex mirrors. As a bonus round convex mirrors let you see parking spot lines straight down beside the car. To me the BSM sensors are more useful when providing the rear-cross traffic alert.

  1. This article explains the differences. Basically the 2016.5 gives all models more base features, like heated seats as standard in the Touring, and navigation as standard in all models.

  2. The dash has that weird texture at first but I find that goes away after a few months. Or maybe it's based on temperature. Regardless, my normal microfiber works fine on it.

  3. In my Mazdas I use this product. It works on all surfaces but glass, and is one of the best products out there, especially for leather.

  4. I put my mount in the place you've described, I really can't find any place much better. No issue with heat though. This is the mount I use.

  5. The only other thing I recommend to everyone are the Weathertech Floor Liners, for every car you buy. They're expensive but worth every penny if you live somewhere it snows or rains constantly.
u/BlanchDolor · 2 pointsr/mazda

I'm new to the Mazda club as well ('16 CX-5 GT), and I've read on other forums that 303 is very popular for cleaning and protecting vinyl and leather on car interiors.

I just bought some, and plan to test it on the wife's car first to make sure everything checks out :) I'll be interested to hear what others recommend.

u/dulun18 · 1 pointr/mazda

LOL :) and this is why I will always tell people to avoid buying leased vehicles...

​

if you want to see how long the car can go without changing oil then ...sure....just be ready to pay for the whole car when you blew the engine...

​

You are renting the car pretty much when you are leasing... there's no way the dealer will let you off the hook for negligence.....

https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/leasing-car-what-type-damage-will-you-be-charged-216155

​

​

so if you want to do some basic maintenance... just go by the owner manual

​

5000 miles for severe driving or 7500 miles

​

0w-20 or 5W-30 vary by countries

​

rotate the tires with every oil change (be sure to change the oil filter as well.

​

synthetic oil is not that expensive $19 for 5 qt and $9 for oil filter--

I don't believe you can downgrade the firmware. Installing the version 70 first is a requirement for the "official" android auto. I paid $162 for the USB cables and dock ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KRPSRKH ), and $10 for the trim kit ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L8GHB7O )

I found the instructions to follow here: https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=679114

There's a link to an 'hdrive' site, find the NA firmware, put them on a USB key (16gb or smaller) and follow the instructions to the letter. It's easy.

Then find the folder for the videos of the cable install, find the closest match to yours. Also easy.

Firmware took an hour (mostly sitting and waiting). Cables took an hour in my 2018 CX-5.

Both were easy as far as anything technical I've ever done. Very easy. Just take your time, follow each step carefully.

u/Zorbick · 2 pointsr/mazda

I've taken it camping off onto dirt and not-so-smooth roads several times. Twice pulling a pop-up camper. It performs admirably. Since it's a Mazda, the ride is kind of rough when you get off the well-beaten path, so you have to take it easy, but I never worried about getting stuck in the mud as long as I was paying attention to how deep it was. That being said, always bring short boards and short rope ladders with you to throw down in case you do get stuck. I fit them around my spare tire.

I have a Draw-tite class III hitch on my '13. Took maybe about 45 minutes to install. Hardest part was getting the exhaust hangers off and on, but just took a little encouragement with soapy water. I use a Reese Towpower adjustable ball mount hitch with interchangeable balls that I keep around my spare tire. Works like a charm.

u/ejatx · 2 pointsr/mazda

There’s a CarPlay/Android Auto retrofit kit available that can either be installed at Mazda dealerships for $300-500 or the kit can be purchased online for about $150 and self-installed. The kit comes with a new usb hub to replace the one the car comes with and a new cable. I own a 2019 CX-3 Sport and just ordered the kit on amazon so I’ll be installing it with the help of a mechanic friend pretty soon.
Here’s the one I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/Mazda-CarPlay-Retrofit-0000-8F-Z34-TK78-66-9U0C/dp/B07KRPSRKH

I'm not sure what he used, but I have a 07 Mazda 6 and I used this headlight restoring kit from Sylvania, and it did an amazing job! It has a lifetime warranty and it has lasted over a year so far. It took about an hour to do both headlights and I got mine at an Advance Auto store if that helps.

u/Interdimension · 2 pointsr/mazda

If you want something simple and easy to use, try Meguiar's Leather Cleaner & Conditioner. Can be found on Amazon (which I linked), or at Target/Walmart.

No, it's not as dedicated or strong in cleaning or protection as other products, but because it's a simple spray + wipe cleaner, you can easily clean/condition the entire interior within minutes.

I use it on my White Parchment Leather in my Mazda3 weekly.

u/Intrepid_Strawberry · 5 pointsr/mazda

I bought this one a few months ago for my '18 Mazda3. I've heard that people only have trouble with the '19s.

​

Just put it in and you'll have navigation. Drive around the block so it attaches to your VIN, then install the Mazda navigation software on your computer to create an account and update the maps. You should get three years of updates for free.

But yes, it will just work if you put the card in - although it's always best to have the most recent maps.

u/SiffLawd · 2 pointsr/mazda

Mine were a lot worse than this and I've tried just about everything on the market. About a month ago I was at Pep Boys and found a new one from Sylvania. It is the best thing I have ever used, I really wish I would have done a before and after. Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-38771-Headlight-Restoration-Kit/dp/B00429NKWK

u/X-Frame · 5 pointsr/mazda

Hey! Okay here is the link, let me know if it doesn't work for you. I haven't received them yet but I found this link from this sub Reddit with others recommending it and commenting on it's easy install. Lots of the reviews echo the same.

u/seihakgwai · 39 pointsr/mazda

I installed the parts myself over the weekend and it took me around 2.5 hrs. Grab a set of trim removal tools (around 10USD) , follow the service manuals closely and it's really not that hard.

You can get the parts today from Med Center Mazda on Ebay for $166.94USD - 15% off = $144.50USD (with coupon PICKFAST on EBay App ONLY), shipping free anywhere in the US.

Okay, link time. I got these lights and I got the Spyder Fog Lights from the other fellow on this sub, and a courtesy link to the stalk I'm going to post a picture of my car in the full sub next.

u/goomba870 · 3 pointsr/mazda

I second this set, OP. I really love it. It's much brighter, and the color is very similar to the headlights.

It's subtle LED blue, which is far different than the candle yellow color with the regular bulbs (and virtually every other vehicle). In my opinion it really makes the interior shine.

It's potato quality, but last year I took a short video of my LEDs to show a buddy.

u/can23l2 · 2 pointsr/mazda

Those clips look similar to the ones that hold the door panels down. They were also super flush. I was able to get them off by using a flat head screw driver to lift them just enough to slide in a trim tool under the flathead, remove the flathead, and pry the clip with the tool. The tool I used came in a set. You could also probably get them at an auto parts store. I bought mine online.

u/powerhawk5000 · 2 pointsr/mazda

I use this memory foam seat belt pad (distributes force over wider area)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RPVVR2W

This arm riser, though there are many others:

These are the ones I bought and successfully use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H8CJXHB/

Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN Diagnostic Scan Tool for OBDII Vehicles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001LHVOVK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_SiTSyb4B4N7C7

Bought one of these two years ago after my Jetta started throwing codes. Cheap, simple, easy to use, I just look up the codes online after scanning.

u/thedarkavengerx · 2 pointsr/mazda

Here is a link that you can get it for $99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MY8MG7V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mnGZCbD1SHGFZ

But I would not get the navigation and would install CarPlay/Android Auto instead.

u/ltmcbaggin · 1 pointr/mazda

Personally I use 303 aerospace protectant. Used to work in a boat shop and we used this a lot on upholstery due to direct UV ray exposure. Have used this in all of my cars and have never had warping or fading of the dash/trim.

u/Ikeelu · 1 pointr/mazda

Yeah I was looking at that. I also noticed a few people on mazda247 went with This kit from Amazon $18.99. A bit curious what the quality difference and brightness is on them.

edit: Ended up ordering these. Someone on Mazda247 was recommending them and talking about how it uses the newer chipset. Not sure what the difference is, but for the price I figured I'd take a shot and if I didn't like it, at least it was a cheap mistake.
