mycarforum: 2014 Mazda 3 part 29

Yup.. They have the crossover box.. That helps.. Just dont get the coaxial type...

If you can find the CDT CL 62.. That would be a very good choice for entry level component

Maybe ur standard too high.. Keke

After my 1k svc.. I will install back my ground zero reference amps and speakers if they are still unsold ..

Yup, used cdt during my last 3 rides, great speaker

not my standard high, it is standard of stock speakers system is high.

Oh no ! My car has the crackkk sound when go over the hump... when i collect my car in dec last yr, there was no sound at all when i go over hump slowly... only when i did nor slow down when going over a hump, there is a v slow crackkkk sound.. seems to be normal like all other cars...

Today i juz drive out for 5mins in the rain, then realise when i go over hump slowly, the crack sound v loud...

My 20k servicing is due in july.. still got 2 mths... can it last till then ? And also, will it cost money to fix this ?

If under warranty all parts are covered unless is due to wear and tear. I think should be covered. Just talk to them.

�

That time I sat in the showroom test-drive car... maybe it's the radio reception, but I felt the speakers were pretty low standard. Very rough and poor treble.

... But again,� Canadian review pointed out the radio reception seemed to be poor, so it could just be that.

�

But everyone has own taste in audio quality and mine is more treble-centric than most. Don't let me stop you from enjoying your favorite sound signatures [thumbsup]

Yes,they add the rental car price to the detailing service.

Thanks. Rather do my servicing and detailing all in one place.

Every thing will be expensive. Did you notice the cost of the scuff plates for Mazda 3 at the accessory display cabinet? Ridiculous! You can get them very much cheaper and better online. Fixing them will take less than 10 minutes.

�

I think it is to avoid having to do such minor works. They already have their hands full with the servicing. Now you are reminded to book 2 weeks in advance even for the 1k, 5k and 10k servicing.

�

I had my 3HB for 6mths now.�

�

Just to share my experience on a couple of the issues which you listed, as well as a "new"�issue that I am currently�pre-occupied with:

�

For issue (1) - At my 2nd servicing at Ubi, they fixed the knocking sound (going over hump). Since then ,I only hear a slight but bearable "clacking" sound ...only when it rained and the car�went over a hump at medium speed.� Overall, I would consider it fixed cos day-to-day I do not get that sound anymore.

For issue (5), I noticed that the paint on my car (I am not saying all the Mazdas), seemed very "thin" -�just a little scratch and I�can see�bare metal underneath a couple of spots already and it's just 6mths' old! No joke...

�

Fortunately, my car did�not face the other issues, you mentioned.

�

Unfortunately,�my car faced a "new"�issue which is�not mentioned above and that is:�

A weird and loud resonance�wind noise when�the car is going at more than 40KPH and�when I�lower the rear�window (one or both) by a third or so. It is so loud, it sounds like a Chinook Helicopter! [dizzy] ��Strangely, when I�lowered the front window (one or both), I do not�get that resonance wind�noise as loud, but it's there.�

�

At my 10K service, I reported this "wind�noise", but�MAZDA explained that it's due to the aerodynamic of the car and wind flowing into the car cabin.� Somehow, the difference in�wind pressure - outside the car and the cabin - �caused the "chomping" sound that sounded like a helicopter (very regular "chomping" sound that does not sound like normal wind noise).� I was not convinced by the explanation.� So, I tested one of the "test car" (also a HB) at MAZDA and got the same noise!� Thereafter, I googled this "wind noise" issue and found that an overseas forum had a topic on this "weird wind noise resonance" and it seemed to affect the 3HB....as well as other cars which (...surprisingly!) had very good aerodynamic design!�Weird huh? Go�figure it out.....� :wacko: ��

�

I had driven more than 15 different types of cars in the past and I had never in my life experienced such a loud weird wind resonance noise which�seemed to be inherent in the 3HB.�Of course the simple solution is�a no brainer:� Don't wind down the rear�windows.�

�

In conclusion - If MAZDA is correct and if my test drive of the "test car" at MAZDA, and the "googled results" is anything to go by�- All bros here driving the 3HBs should have�experienced this weird wind resonance.....wind your rear window slightly down when you are driving�above 40KPH and try it! �

Hello,

I'm thinking of getting a in car camera but the camera which I can purchase from service centre does not have parking mode, if I install from 3rd party, does it void warranty?

For those who have installed in car camera, do you just install at service centre or outside?

Thanks

Yes chomping sound exists at 40km/h and above when rear windows are opened. I only tested both Windows opened at same level. Not a problem to me as I don't wind down rear windows.

�

On issue 1, I also experienced the 'clacking' sound but only during/after heavy rain going over hump. I am just thinking if it might be the tyres?

�

On issue 5, I agree totally with you. Mz comes with a very solid & heavy frame, but the sheet metal is really thin & also the paint work is also very thin, maybe to reduce overall weight or just simply save cost. Its supposedly 3 layers. Collected plenty of chips within the 1st 3 mths, gave up. Decided to vinyl wrap.

�

Yah, when I was there I asked the maintenance folk and they confirm it is 3 years map update.

�

I did ask him how come some bros shows 1 year and it is the same story...when the next update is available, it will be updated to 3 years. Real or not, �I dunno. Cause in my case, there isn't any subscription status at all!...other than they have recognise my SD card and knew when it started...

�

Guess all I can do is wait....

On issue 1:
I dun think its the tyres - For various reasons (not due to the clacking sound wc dun bug me really) I changed my tyres 2x so far and that sound is still there, albeit only occasionally and only when it had rained. I think it had to do with water from the rain affecting the effectiveness of an "insulation" which was added on to remove the knocking sound in the 1st instance. Yes...Mazda added some "insulation" to the suspension (dun know exactly wc parts) to solve the "knocking" issue...at least that was wat i was told.

On issue 5: You r absolutely rite, bro, and I couldnt hv said it better....its probably all about the philosophy to keep the car lite=save fuel=save costs....

Thanks for sharing.

AAS' more interesting and held very regularly. Just be a member. You'll also get help from other Automobile Associations in other countries when you drive there.

�

Gives you a safe feeling should you drive up north on your own. AAM will assist you. The interesting part is that the membership is connected to you, not the car. So should you be travelling in a friend's car and it has a problem, you'll be assisted by AAS etc too.

Search for that previously here and across the causeway. Could not find any.

Some went to eBay and bought it. Then found out it was cheaper from Chinese online store! Learnt my lesson!

When you open Mazda Toolbox and sign in, the map subscription will be displayed.

For me, it does not and only appear a couple of days ago when launch it again. Thus it may not be shown immediately for some (aka me) but it seems many others will see it immediately upon registration

Anyway, it is fine for me, to protect from paint being scratched by my wife and daughter's shoes. Somehow they like to step there when lifting their legs to sit.

That's what I thought too previously. Then after installing a spare camera for the rear, I found it most useful. At the checkpoint during a congestion, it helped identify who kissed by rear bumper. Lorry and bus drivers, as well as road bullies who tailgated me quickly backed off when they realised they were recorded.

�

Bikers who weaved in and out and became angry when you sounded your horn�as they suddenly appeared in front of you, shut up when you showed them the rear cam.

�

The driver of a�pet van that cut into my path causing me to brake suddenly�and the taxi behind me braking hard, had to apologise when I sent the videos front and back to his boss.

�

Bus company apologised�when the driver showed middle finger after I overtook�it from the left as he was hogging the right lane along a two lane road. These are some of the benefits of the rear cam.

�

lol...me too...

�

�

You are absolutely right! My power wires were too short when In tried to hide the wires as shown on YouTube.

�

But having two power sockets is a blessing. The only previous car I had with that was the Ford Focus. It has a nice socket for the rear passengers, with an equally nice cover. That was more than 10 years ago, and made in Spain.

�

Actually there's no wrong or right.

�

Not to jinx anything but over 15 years of driving, I've not used any cameras front or back.

�

I just tend to drive safer and more defensive.

�

I keep a distance away from the front vehicle and if the vehicle behind me is too close, I change lane.

�

If other drivers are aggressive, aka show middle finger or horn, I back off. I just want a peaceful time on the road enjoying the drive and music.

�

sometimes I get frustrated, I just take a deep breathe and move on.

�

cars are too expensive in Singapore to be used to 'play' with other vehicles.

�

honestly, I don't know.

�

How to check? my cigarette socket is used by the air ionizer btw.

�

If you only have one cig-socket and your ionizer is plugged there directly and not to a multi-head splitter or something, then it's probably hooked up to the fusebox...

For those who are interested, the in car cam is linked to the fuse box. If you want the in car cam to be included in the purchase aka as a freebies, you must negotiate before confirming, not after.

�

That's admirable of you.

�

In my case, I drive assuming other vehicles have cameras as well as the authorities having them everywhere.

�

Only in my case, there is an added `fire extinguisher' kind of precaution, in case accidents do happen. I'm sure in your years of driving, you still had some minor accidents, which could result in messy claims.

�

Insurance companies like Direct Asia, give discounts for having in car cam. Cuts down on paper work and investigations. I could remember the video of a Mercedes reversing and hitting the front of a car. Then blamed the victim for running into the Merces.

�

There was a similar case involving a car driven by a lady and a taxi. Fortunately the taxi had a cam. There was also a case of a car which on purpose cut into the lane of another car and slammed on the brakes resulting in the other car hitting the rear. Also the famous case of the road bully who was charged by TP based on the videos. Imagine the absence of the videos in these cases.

In addition, tail gating by lorries and buses usually occur in the middle lane, not the fast lane. Do you then change to the slow vehicle lane when they tail gate you?

�

Videos of road bullies, can�be a deterrent to them. Imagine if they are involved in an accident and such videos of them be brought to the attention of the TP. Would anyone who knows buy their cars 2nd hand even at a lower than market price?

�

Allowing reckless drivers and road bullies to get away, would encourage others to be like them.

�

We have not come to that stage yet. But I believe, in time, safe drivers would take over our roads, with the help of the in car cams. I'm not IT savvy, but if someone starts a treasury of road bully and reckless driver�videos, easily searched by registration numbers, I'll be glad to contribute.

�

That's admirable of you.

�

In my case, I drive assuming other vehicles have cameras as well as the authorities having them everywhere.

�

Only in my case, there is an added `fire extinguisher' kind of precaution, in case accidents do happen. I'm sure in your years of driving, you still had some minor accidents, which could result in messy claims.

�

Insurance companies like Direct Asia, give discounts for having in car cam. Cuts down on paper work and investigations. I could remember the video of a Mercedes reversing and hitting the front of a car. Then blamed the victim for running into the Merces.

�

There was a similar case involving a car driven by a lady and a taxi. Fortunately the taxi had a cam. There was also a case of a car which on purpose cut into the lane of another car and slammed on the brakes resulting in the other car hitting the rear. Also the famous case of the road bully who was charged by TP based on the videos. Imagine the absence of the videos in these cases.

Collected my car today. Took less than 1 hour as SE in the rush to go for some mazda event.

�

Trying to get used to the ride.

�

Was at hawker centre when I saw someone reversing into the parking lot and bump into a parked car.

Think better to get a dash camera that can record when stationary�

signed during CNY promotion 95k for mazda 3 standard, was aiming 50-55k coe that time. non guaranteed package.

�

first 5 rounds all failed. i was already assuming surely cannot get it. then last round (2nd round May), i was told it was successful although COE is still very high.

�

but i'm sure they still can earn good money. from both selling the car and my trade-in car. 2nd hand car price is now very high, at least 5k higher comparing to months ago

When you open Mazda Toolbox and sign in, the map subscription will be displayed.
�
For me, it does not and only appear a couple of days ago when launch it again. Thus it may not be shown immediately for some (aka me) but it seems many others will see it immediately upon registration

Mine now shown up with only 3 months subscription. I think it activated when I connect mzd connect to my phone hotspot and activated live traffic update.

The 3 months subscription is so called "connected services subscription" which covers local search, live traffic and live weather information.

Hope the maps update still applicable after 3 months.....

�
sharing info. for those buying new mazda can ask for camera�to be included.
�
i booked m3 last sunday and has this as part of the package. though not sure if it is the same model.

How's the offer now? What are the "freebies" given besides the camera? Heard the over trade value reduced to 2.5k now?

Yes, it will start if your aircon temperature is set too low or outside temp too hot, it needs to cold down the cabin. Also the max iStop can stop is 2mins, so if wait too long, it will also start.

6.4 is very good. my current civic hybrid is around that (with 50/50 highway/city). mazda did a good job

Soundproof done.

any difference?

�
Actually there's no wrong or right.
�
Not to jinx anything but over 15 years of driving, I've not used any cameras front or back.
�
I just tend to drive safer and more defensive.
�
I keep a distance away from the front vehicle and if the vehicle behind me is too close, I change lane.
�
If other drivers are aggressive, aka show middle finger or horn, I back off. I just want a peaceful time on the road enjoying the drive and music.
�
sometimes I get frustrated, I just take a deep breathe and move on.
�
cars are too expensive in Singapore to be used to 'play' with other vehicles.

Anyway, I tested the brakes today. On ECP within 1.5 cars length on Lane 1. there is this part approaching the overhead bridge which cars always slow down.

�

The car in front of me suddenly jammed brake. I had to E-brake and stopped within 1 m from his boot. Tires screeched a bit but steering wheel doesn't vibrate much.

�

Confidence up one notch on the car's ability.

I guess for traffic info you should just use Here Maps. Works free and on iPhones or Android devices,

Anyway, I've been driving for 37 years, with only one slightly more than�minor�accident. No injuries, except to the cars. An old lady, mother-in-law of an MP, suddenly�stopped at a traffic junction when the light was green! She was lost. I slammed on the brakes ( the old Elantra ), it spun and my car rear hit the lady car rear. Really awkward when explaining the damage.

�

Did not get any police ticket nor demerit points, as I told the MP that his mother-in-law should not be driving anymore. He must have done something. I actually guided her to the SAFRA Club where the MP was.

�

Somehow, I found that the cameras do help in preventing accidents.

Thank you.

Looks like some major work done on the door. Very interesting. Usually the inside�of the door would have some waterproofing done to prevent rain water from reaching the electronics. Where did you get it done? May go down to take a look before deciding. Thanks

Everyone here seems to be doing lots of modification. �Aren't you worry it will void your warranty? �You may argue later they are just small modifications and do not affect anything, but wouldn't these mods give bullets to AD to deny warranty claim (esp. extended warranty which the AD needs to pay repair costs from their own pocket).

Any of the bros can pm me installer who has experience doing Mazda 3 sound proofing? And how much? I find that there are quite a bit of sounds coming in from the sides

Not sure if soundproofing will void warranty or not.. Different installer charges differently.. If you are interested.. Pls pm me.. I will be there again on the 28th of may.. For my remaining boot work..

Thanks. Can't be there on 28. Had an appointment with the doctor.

I think the warranty would be void if it concerns the areas where the modifications are done. That's why I mentioned the water proofing of the door. If there should be a leak when it rains, or when the power windows would not work due to moisture, the dealer would void the warranty.

�

But if it was a totally unrelated problem, there is no justification to void the warranty.

�

Exterior and engine modifications, however, would�expose one to insurance problem, in case of serious accidents. Even a heavily tinted windows and windscreen could result in that if they are illegal. Obscure your vision, they would claim. Sigh.

�

Chinese module folding mirrors? How did you know that? May need to scrutinise mine!

Wow! Totally hidden inside the panel! Thanks. Now will understand why if it conks off in a couple of years at most! Hopefully by then replacements will be cheap.

�

You really need�to fold them�because the car's wing mirrors are so large that if you go through the checkpoints here and JB, it will rub against the counter side or that ugly cash card box. If you adjust the car's distance from the counter, the other side will rub against the flexible orange poles.

So, it's Made In Japan, with China-made parts!

Got any recommendation for after market brakes and coil over?

After driving HSV GTS, back to stinker land kinda pissed with the Mazda. Need to do something to improve it.

Firstly, the braking feeing is so fake, I cannot feel the brake, the brake pedal is just like a on off switch. It's like playing computer game. If I'm honest, even an old and crappy car like Nissan sunny got a better brake feel than this.

But the good thing of this car is so far so good. No problems at all.

Going to collect next week! anything i need to watch out? like documents to bring, new insurance, old car menu and keys, anything else?

Remember to take your stuffs from your old car.

Try to collect your car during the day so that you can check your car thoroughly. Print the logcard of your new car from onemotoring. This is to verify that the registered chassis number and the IU number is correct. Bring your whole family to collect your new car.

�

As for your existing car, remember to clear your stuff before you hand over 2 car keys to your SE. My SE requested me to print the logcard of my existing car from onemotoring. I wonder if your SE told you to do so. My SE requested me to pass my IC to her so that she can deregister my car.

�

Thats all I can think of.

Hi, just bought the standard sedan and was told it has no fog light.
Anyone knows how much is Mazda selling like the one on the deluxe sedan? Or anyone has any contacts I should do it myself outside?
Thanks.

I think just ask the SE how much to top up to have fog light installed. As i heard owned fitted fog light needs to cover up during inspection. If from AD I think does not need. If not can ask SE to recommend. They should know.

Actually the SE will have the log card and she will show to you the engine chasis number against the log card for your verification.

If your car is to be deregistered, just hand one key and keep the other key as sourvenir. Tell the SE the other car key lost. Lol.�

My SE quoted $500+, and even that couldn't assure the control would be on the headlight stick.

�

Saw in YouTube the installation, complete with the stick control, of an after market fog lights.

�

I too missed the fog lights, but tested the headlights on a really pitch dark minor road in Johor near Desaru. The road leading to the floating seafood restaurant at Sungai Lebam. It worked fine, without the fog lights, which I used previously on my Mazda3 SP, to lit the area just in front of the car. The headlights�lit all the way from just in front of the car to the distance.

�

So if it is for that purpose, you can wait a while till some car accessory dealers bring them in. If it is for the looks, then it is another matter. Emailed JDM and did not receive any answer on that. Perhaps if you ask JDM, they may bring them in as the demand is there.

�

One matter to consider. Would it void the warranty? According to the video, all the necessary connections are already there. This is like the electronic seat controls. Look under the seat and you'll see all the necessary wires and connectors are there.

I think just ask the SE how much to top up to have fog light installed. As i heard owned fitted fog light needs to cover up during inspection. If from AD I think does not need. If not can ask SE to recommend. They should know.

�

If you use identical after market fog lights, as the deluxe version, it would not require the cover up. The cover up is for the usually round, large and at times yellow, fog lights, installed on off-roaders. They can be really blinding.

I saw a pair of fog lights at ubi service centre.. Cost 600 plus before gst ..i think.. But not sure for which model

�

They are for�the earlier model, the one after Mazda 3 SP, with that big Joker's smile. The prices shown in the�accesory cabinet at Ubi, are exhorbitant.

Normally if trade in old car, Mazda will state the trade in value as "paper value + overtrade". Is the paper value date stated equal to your new car collection date?

Mazda 3 now selling for $113k, that was yesterday when I went to look see look see. I heard most of the Altis owners who didn't get their CNY promo cars ended up buying Mazda 3.

Honestly, the fog light is useless.. I've tried to use it but its just too dim as compared to the xeon head lights. Can save the money, just use the head lights is good enough. Fog light is just for show, white elephant...

BUT between the 2, it's hard to compare. Altis has more legroom for passengers at the back and the engine seems to be quieter as well when accelerating. Mazda 3 quite small at the back but for that difference in price, I guess most people will not be too bothered by it.

BUT between the 2, it's hard to compare. Altis has more legroom for passengers at the back and the engine seems to be quieter as well when accelerating. Mazda 3 quite small at the back but for that difference in price, I guess most people will not be too bothered by it.
�

If space is the main consideration than Altis cannot be beaten. It has rear legroom that put midsized sedans to shame.

$14k depreciation might as well get a 2L car.

14k a year gets you a type R with around 3 years to go..

That's why buy new best..

�
My SE quoted $500+, and even that couldn't assure the control would be on the headlight stick.
�
Saw in YouTube the installation, complete with the stick control, of an after market fog lights.
�
I too missed the fog lights, but tested the headlights on a really pitch dark minor road in Johor near Desaru. The road leading to the floating seafood restaurant at Sungai Lebam. It worked fine, without the fog lights, which I used previously on my Mazda3 SP, to lit the area just in front of the car. The headlights�lit all the way from just in front of the car to the distance.

So if it is for that purpose, you can wait a while till some car accessory dealers bring them in. If it is for the looks, then it is another matter. Emailed JDM and did not receive any answer on that. Perhaps if you ask JDM, they may bring them in as the demand is there.
�
One matter to consider. Would it void the warranty? According to the video, all the necessary connections are already there. This is like the electronic seat controls. Look under the seat and you'll see all the necessary wires and connectors are there.

�
If you use identical after market fog lights, as the deluxe version, it would not require the cover up. The cover up is for the usually round, large and at times yellow, fog lights, installed on off-roaders. They can be really blinding.

�
They are for�the earlier model, the one after Mazda 3 SP, with that big Joker's smile. The prices shown in the�accesory cabinet at Ubi, are exhorbitant.

�
So how�did the 28th installation go? I hope all's well.
�
What kind of boot carpentry did you do? Sounds interesting!

This?? Keke..

Nope. After all the disc is 107k. Current offer incl 1 bid guaranteed coe. Not sure if it's the best offer so far or there's been cases where the price was lower.
