Correct me if i'm wrong but the difference between the 2.0 and 1.5dlx are the obvious higher power (significantly more), the factory fitted piano black mazdaspeed bodykit, paddle shifters (nice) and the larger stock wheels at 18"?
You are correct. Plus twin exhaust pipes. I don't know whether the list is conclusive.

Twin exhaust are the same. They protrude for the hatch but are hidden for the sedan (dunno about 2.0 sedan tho).
Tmr I will be gg for my 1k servicing (but mileage read as 16xxkm)�and may I know how long it take? I opt for 9am timeslot.
�
I notice many bros/sis have added the�heat shield and may I know what is the purpose of heat shield? Prevent heat from engine to bonnet? or noise reduction?
�
How much will it cost and any chance to get it from�alexander area?
�
I did mine at 8am too. Took about one and a half hours but may differ depending on situation (number of people there etc). I stayed at the workshop waiting area. Bring something to do - there's free wifi. They have newspapers and a beverage machine (Leng Kee branch - I think Ubi would be better equipped as it's a new building).
�
Bonnet heat shield is meant to reduce the heat emanating from the engine bay to the bonnet so that your bonnet doesn't feel so hot to the touch after driving. Mazda doesn't install and if they did, I think it would come at a premium price. Folks here bought from about $90 . you can go through the threads - should be from pages 400+.
�
If you meant Alexandra accessories shop - I wouldn't know but it wouldn't hurt to go check. The one discussed on the forums is an actual Mazda 3 piece - manufactured to fit.

Sharing Time!! Since alot of you guys are troubled by iStop.. here's a simple and easy way to PERMANENTLY disable it!! Yes.. forever gone in 10 seconds!

http://mazda3revolut...10-seconds.html

I am pretty amazed by this .. simple and easy.. LOL

I'm gonna do this. �
Har... 24km. Maybe $3-4 dollars petrol savings...Thanks foe sharing!
Not a member, so can't see the picture how he DIYed.
But only saved 24km for travelling 10,000km... And then need to change a new batt that costs $300. Worth meh.
I hope the battery can last at least 2 yrs or more.
Btw the battery needs to top up, is it the general diluted acid battery water sold at the petrol stations?
i have been using the maintainance free type all these while.
If assuming 2 yr clock 40,000km and batt need to change in 2 yrs time. Using iStop at most help save $20. But battery cost $300...Har... 24km. Maybe $3-4 dollars petrol savings...

Where to get this?
Looks like this discussion is to kill the i-stop hahahahahaha!!!If assuming 2 yr clock 40,000km and batt need to change in 2 yrs time. Using iStop at most help save $20. But battery cost $300...
Can i say that the E-loop n the i-stop works hand in hand?
E-loop supply powder when engine cut off by i-stop
If i-stop disabled, then the E-loop is redunance as the engine is always running and supplying powder?
I love this bikini babe, always get me thinking day n night HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Super cool to the max!! The same white led change to orange.. During signaling.
Where to get this?
Question again, on a bright day afternoon... i attempt to switch to the small light by manually turning the knob (not the headlight or DRL)... Still under bright day afternoon, but notice no light leh. Is it the light sensor over ride my switch?
How i know is because i was behind a bus and see the reflection during traffic light. Want to show off abit la to wifey about the "ring" like bmw ring light kekekeee...

The istop function is pretty good for SG driving I feel, just need to get some adjustments in driving style. It is very useful when you are waiting in a long queue, or driving towards a junction with the red light just about to come along. If caught in a traffic jam during peak hour, I would probably just turn off the istop using the button on the right.
Is the stock tyre really so bad? Currently is Bridgestone RE33...
Looking thru google n didn't get much but.. A few but very negative comments about this tyre...
Why i ask is because feedback from my rear passengers that the tyre noise is noisy...
Hmmmm.... Really so jia lat meh?
Michellin Primacy 3, bridgestone gr100, yoko advance DB?

If u think stock is noisier, wait till u sit in mine. Mine is even noisier... Using Goodyear eagle F1. Grip is excellent I must say, even in rainy December wet roads it's very grippy but drawback is the car sounds like an aeroplane taking off when on AYE and CTE....

No problem for me using iStop.
But think abt the $300 batt to be replaced in 2-3 yrs time i wonder how much savings i can have as compare to those start stop wears and fuel saved.
Not worth at all!
I did consider this for the lip... Hahaa

Ohh... I guess the rules applies,
If the good are noisy meaning they are grippy, if the tyres are quiet meaning they are not grippy.

Why is it German? haha� :P
I've saved near to four trees liao.�

I saved 10 trees, 600km after clocking 20,000km... So, saving is abt 3%...or 1 full tank of petrol...

U mean saving from using iStop?
When u change another new battery, the old battery materials cannot be recycled. U destroy the earth again :(
The I-Stop is it powered by the capacity rather than the main battery?

I'm using but glad was free!
If considering the features between the deluxe original and aftermarket, then its not worth. They are world apart in terms of features. For example, you cannot see the FC or doing other car related settings. �
But if to upgrade your existing standard version (that means without LCD) then you can consider. How much quoted to you? I think should be $1300?�

Anyway, GPS not bad,,, its updated and logon to GPS is fast.�

Out of 1000 good comments, there must be a few bad comments to balance out. A man's meat might be someone poison. I rather everyone say new mazda 3 no good or the whole range is no good then i have a shorter waiting time for servicing and less mazda cars on the road..

Quite a eyesore.. i drove every 5 km.. i will spot at least 5 soul reds and a couple of other colours mazda 3.. no wonder 1k servicing can only be done in mid JAN 2016..

when i buy the new car .. i got free servicing up to 60k.. meaning apart from free 3 servicings (1k, 5k & 10k) which is standard.. i got (20k, 40k & 60k) servicings extra free from my SE. For this, if your SE never gave you as freebies when you buy your car.. you will never get it free.

dunno is it a good thing.. free servicing.. hahaha, servicing in mazda is so expensive.. i also dunno what is free servicing.. maybe servicing the car is free.. extra changes like air filter or replace suspensions at 60k servicing is chargable.

Bro... Service should be in 10k interval from 5k onwards. So if u r given free then it should be 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60k!

40k is definitely a major servicing which cost $600 onwards. 20k and 60k are intermediate servicing costing about $400ish. So i would say you got a good deal

Yes, a white chick ang mo too! Hahhaa that's why i hope will turn out like that... Keeping my finger crossed...
same for my Dunlop Sportmaxx RT, it sound the same as ur when the road is bad.If u think stock is noisier, wait till u sit in mine. Mine is even noisier... Using Goodyear eagle F1.

Earliest date is 13 Jan 2016 9:30am, but decided to go for 14 Jan 8am instead.
I think they are overwhelmed with capacity issues. So, remember to book early.
I bought during car expo with 3 yr free servicing (60k)..40k is definitely a major servicing which cost $600 onwards. 20k and 60k are intermediate servicing costing about $400ish. So i would say you got a good deal
But SE remove away the 3 yr servicing (left 1k, 5k n 10k servicing) to minus off 1k from the price.
Didnt notice it until i go bk n check the invoice.
Ask SE when collecting car he said cheaper to setvice outside..bro here hv any comment on this? I believe saving $1k for 20,30,40,50 n 60k servicing not worth it right?

�
well, my SE used to tell me, service outside ok....but must do major service ,i.e 40k, 80k...etc in AD
�
For me after trying both (when outside was authorised agent), i'm more inclined to service by AD due to the level of details they do in the servicing that i can feel all the nuts tightened and the car still feel firm, which outside lacks due to "cheaper" as they skips these.
I called to book my 1k inspection and got earliest date 4 January. I called almost 2 weeks ago.should be like this bah.. i also never check my agreement form.. but thinking of the long wait.. i abit sian to go back servicing..
Yesterday i told my CFO that i wanna skip 1k servicing and go for 5k instead.. CFO says i crazy.. later mazda void car warranty.. i told her nvm... i think i am really crazy.. hahaha
I told the person that I was going up to KL over the Christmas holidays. She said no issue cos 1k is only inspection.
I haven't gone for my trip and it's already 1.2k. It will be more than 2k by the time I go for my inspection.
Thanks dude! I ordered 4 of these to replace my interior bulbs. Only gonna skip the vanity light bulbs cos I don't want that to be too bright.I bought online from www.dx.com for 31mm festoon in Dec 2014 when they are on 40% offer $3.80 for 2 pcs pack. It uses one of the latest LED chips 5630 (one of the brightest). But now its only 13% offer $5.63 for the 2pcs pack.. ha ha
Need to get those with aluminum heat sink type to ensure that the LED life span is not affected by overheating.
Bro, strange leh, u still have ur 3 yr warranty. I bought from car expo too. If service outside, they wouldn't void ur 3yr warranty? Think u better ask the SE.I bought during car expo with 3 yr free servicing (60k)..

Wifi�router�with Admin access
Computer or�Android tablet
A terminal program or app (I used JuicySSH on a�2013�nexus�7)
1. Using your computer or tablet access the settings in your router by going to 192.168.1.1
2. Find your logs
3. If disabled, then enable and save.
4. Access your DHCP logs
5. Start your car.
6. Access your router with your car in settings/devices/wifi
7. Check your DHCP log to find your cars IP (it should be something like 192.168.1.XXX)
8. Go to your terminal program or app
9. Start a new connection to your car's IP
10. Username is: root
11. Password is: jci
12. Connect to your car. You should see /tmp/root #
13. Type in: /jci/scripts/set_lvds_speed_restriction_config.sh disable
14. If done correctly it should say that it is disabled.
15. Type in: /jci/scripts/set_speed_restriction_config.sh disable
16. If done correctly it should say that it is disabled.
17. Turn your car off.
18. Exit out of the app or program.
From now on you (or your passenger) should have full access to your touchscreen, navigation, texts and settings while�driving

Step by step for opening an SSH session to your car:
- enable your smartphone WiFi hotspot
- connect both the car and laptop to the WiFi hotspot
- open a terminal application
- get the laptop's WiFi IP address - if you're using a bash terminal, run this command at the prompt:
�
- using your laptop's IP you should be able to quickly determine your car's IP. Connected to my iPhone's WiFi hotspot, my laptop was assigned 172.20.10.3. I quickly determined that my car was assigned 172.20.10.4
- open an SSH session to your car
�
- enter password: jci
Disabling speed limitation
With the SSH session open, you can simply run these two commands at the prompt:
�
/jci/scripts/set_speed_restriction_config.sh disable
Copy, paste, and run each line separately.
Dramatically reduce the�display�time�of the disclaimer screen
This is based on firmware version v29. Before running the following commands, verify that the file being modified (systemApp.js) is located in the folderINDICATED
�
chmod 755 /jci/gui/apps/system/js/systemApp.js
sed -i 's/this._disclaimerTime.remaining = 10000/this._disclaimerTime.remaining = 100/g' /jci/gui/apps/system/js/systemApp.js
Copy, paste, and run each line separately.
You will not likely see any difference in the disclaimer�display�time�until the system undergoes a full reboot. The car must be off for at least several minutes, maybe a few hours. It's not clear to me how long one must wait for this to occur.
Attempt the above at your own risk.

Not sure about Mazda servicing rates, but i believe 40k alone is usually at least close to $500 for AD. I would have kept the 3 year servicing, but your SE should have been clear about removing it for the discount when going through the final sales sheet with you?�

Anyway its all his words, not in black and white hence i asked in this forum since i start to feel that he is not honest with me...

as a 1st time buyer i missed that out too..haiz
he keep telling me he give discount here n there but never tell me he is removing the servicing, extra warranty etc..
When collecting i asked him for the servicing rate sheet, he told me he cant get it...honestly i do feel abit "cheated"..
Wah.... personally I feel like that very dangerous leh. Dun tell service center, but they can check their system easily lor. Usually SE shld be conservative and say better service with AD to keep warranty in place. Anyway, I read our warranty booklet, it mentioned at servicing with AD too.I asked him when collecting car, he simply said service outside dun tell service center can liao n avoid the questions later on...
Anyway its all his words, not in black and white hence i asked in this forum since i start to feel that he is not honest with me...
Yup, gonna call up SE tomorrow for explanation..if not will write in instead as he have change his words a few times liao..Wah.... personally I feel like that very dangerous leh. Dun tell service center, but they can check their system easily lor. Usually SE shld be conservative and say better service with AD to keep warranty in place.

He promised a few things to me but didnt honour them..even my wife also noticed that..hence better write in instead this time..

This is the part i would say SE is not clear to me..
as a 1st time buyer i missed that out too..haiz
he keep telling me he give discount here n there but never tell me he is removing the servicing, extra warranty etc..
When collecting i asked him for the servicing rate sheet, he told me he cant get it...honestly i do feel abit "cheated"..

Sorry to hear about that bro, didn't expect SE from AD to be that sneaky. Maybe you can relay your unhappiness on the sales conduct to Mazda management and see if they can do something?
Ur SE pattern a lot leh. What other things are promised? Yah better get him explain and write in too. That $1000 discount for the 3 yr servicing dun really make sense.Yup, gonna call up SE tomorrow for explanation..if not will write in instead as he have change his words a few times liao..

Last time when buying he based the price on 2 bid guaranteed (1k higher than 6 bid non guaranteed) but wrote 6 bid non guaranteed on invoice..Ur SE pattern a lot leh. What other things are promised?

i insist him to write 2 bid guaranteed but he say for all 2 bid guaranteed they will write 6 bid non guaranteed but will bid higher..but according to fellow forumer here those dat bought 2 bid guaranteed hv the 2 bid guaranteed written on invoice..
In the end i did got my coe on 1st bid hence i nvr persue further..just that i didnt feel comfortable with all these pattern he chut..
Of cos stuffs like free extra floor mat etc he promised at 1st i didnt get in the end also..those r small things i dun mind not getting..can easily get elsewhere

wah.. your SE so many pattern.. heng my SE is a young chio bu.. no many patterns but lots of freebies.. hahaha, i never sign at car expo with mazda.. i sign with volkswagon instead but managed to cancel order due to a special condition in contract..
�
Always remember before you sign any contract.. all agreed terms must be in black and white.. everybody can talk big but not many can fulfil their promises.. i remember clearly to get my SE to state when can i get the new mazda.. she says early dec cos i booked the last soul red for nov shipment. After that, she called me say delivery date will delay cos too many cars to prepare for handover.. then i remind her about the contract stated early dec.. so she LL delayed one day of collection.. if never stated in contract.. i think till now havent get my new mazda 3..
�
I think the trick of getting good service and no question asked freebies is to stay calm in your purchase.. when i went to ubi to test drive on a Wednesday afternoon.. no customers.. so i can ask lots of questions and test drive all i want.. then when i was told that there are only one soul red deluxe left for booking for nov shipment.. i never panic and sign on the dotted line.. instead i ask them for the trade in value of my old car.. then SE do the sums and gave me a good overtrade price that i cannot resist. Then to add on to the sweet deal, throw in all the freebies that my chio SE can give.. finally sign on dotted line.
�
But thinking of this.. i am still glad to get a good SE cos for all things she promised, i gotten it on the day of collection and she was actually on leave that day and she came back to settle the handover.. everything was done swee swee.. and the whole purchase of new car only took 3 weeks. Booked on Nov 11 and gotten car on Dec 2.. 2 bids guaranteed..

Afterall its someone's ricebowl, don't want to wrongfully accuse anyone by assuming things myself..

Bro, can help me too?
Huge , I have already done that i.e. modified my mzdconnect software. In fact I have helped a bro here do it too. Now can drive and use touch screen. So far tested for 2 weeks of daily driving no problems. Mine is very simple, plug in USB can already. Plug and play. After the code goes in u can remove the USB.
�
Bro, you know the steps to make the mirror fold only when engine starts and not unlocked?
�
Found this on another website which disable the speed limiter. So that you or your passenger can press the touch screen. Disclaimer : Try at your own risk.��What you will need:
Wifi�router�with Admin access
Computer or�Android tablet
A terminal program or app (I used JuicySSH on a�2013�nexus�7)
1. Using your computer or tablet access the settings in your router by going to 192.168.1.1
2. Find your logs
3. If disabled, then enable and save.
4. Access your DHCP logs
5. Start your car.
6. Access your router with your car in settings/devices/wifi
7. Check your DHCP log to find your cars IP (it should be something like 192.168.1.XXX)
8. Go to your terminal program or app
9. Start a new connection to your car's IP
10. Username is: root
11. Password is: jci
12. Connect to your car. You should see /tmp/root #
13. Type in: /jci/scripts/set_lvds_speed_restriction_config.sh disable
14. If done correctly it should say that it is disabled.
15. Type in: /jci/scripts/set_speed_restriction_config.sh disable
16. If done correctly it should say that it is disabled.
17. Turn your car off.
18. Exit out of the app or program.
From now on you (or your passenger) should have full access to your touchscreen, navigation, texts and settings while�driving
�For those of you who can't park close enough to your router in order to connect to your home WiFi, you can accomplish the connection using a laptop, and a smartphone that can create a WiFi hotspot. In my case, I used my�Macbook�with terminal application (to open the SSH session), and my iPhone to create the WiFi hotspot.Step by step for opening an SSH session to your car:
- enable your smartphone WiFi hotspot
- connect both the car and laptop to the WiFi hotspot
- open a terminal application
- get the laptop's WiFi IP address - if you're using a bash terminal, run this command at the prompt:
�Code:ipconfig getifaddr en0 2> /dev/null- using your laptop's IP you should be able to quickly determine your car's IP. Connected to my iPhone's WiFi hotspot, my laptop was assigned 172.20.10.3. I quickly determined that my car was assigned 172.20.10.4
- open an SSH session to your car
�- enter password: jci
Disabling speed limitation
With the SSH session open, you can simply run these two commands at the prompt:
�Code:/jci/scripts/set_lvds_speed_restriction_config.sh disable
/jci/scripts/set_speed_restriction_config.sh disableCopy, paste, and run each line separately.
Dramatically reduce the�display�time�of the disclaimer screen
This is based on firmware version v29. Before running the following commands, verify that the file being modified (systemApp.js) is located in the folderINDICATED
�Code:mount -o rw,remount /
chmod 755 /jci/gui/apps/system/js/systemApp.js
sed -i 's/this._disclaimerTime.remaining = 10000/this._disclaimerTime.remaining = 100/g' /jci/gui/apps/system/js/systemApp.jsCopy, paste, and run each line separately.
You will not likely see any difference in the disclaimer�display�time�until the system undergoes a full reboot. The car must be off for at least several minutes, maybe a few hours. It's not clear to me how long one must wait for this to occur.
Attempt the above at your own risk.�

My SE was not bad too. Not young chio bu lah, but 15 years older than me haha. Still, gave me quite a bit of freebies. I thought it was good, until I hear other people on this forum getting a lot more stuff. Still, don't want to complain too much. She kept me updated, did all the paperwork for me. I only needed to sign dotted lines and write cheques.

Also, I ordered on 1st Nov, I got the car on 28th Nov. Could have been 10 days earlier even but I wasn't in town.

But like you, I'm surprised to find pattern SE from AD.

hi FD, can i have this goodie to share too?..
Can confirm e lights also ma lol. Sgcarmart shows different light system.
I cannot confirm unless there is a 1.5 next to me with the lights on. I think sgcarmart may not be 100% accurate.
That is worth 2k. To extend warranty fr 3 to 5yrs also 2k. Ask your SE what happens to warranty if you svc outside?I bought during car expo with 3 yr free servicing (60k)..
But SE remove away the 3 yr servicing (left 1k, 5k n 10k servicing) to minus off 1k from the price.
Didnt notice it until i go bk n check the invoice.
Ask SE when collecting car he said cheaper to setvice outside..bro here hv any comment on this? I believe saving $1k for 20,30,40,50 n 60k servicing not worth it right?
I was also offered $1k for 60K/3yr servicing... but didnt take it up in the end.. cos I think my mileage over 3 yrs likely not hit 60K... so end up will costs about the same minus paying upfront 3yrs in advance... and also I suspect the free service package is not the same as the full service package from AD workshop...I bought during car expo with 3 yr free servicing (60k)..
But SE remove away the 3 yr servicing (left 1k, 5k n 10k servicing) to minus off 1k from the price.

Huge , I have already done that i.e. modified my mzdconnect software. In fact I have helped a bro here do it too. Now can drive and use touch screen. So far tested for 2 weeks of daily driving no problems. Mine is very simple, plug in USB can already. Plug and play. After the code goes in u can remove the USB.

Bro, that is considered "rooting" or "jailbreaking" the MZD connect? Will it cause problem if there is a system firmware update or map update ah?
�
More interested if we can do auto lock car door when drive off. I read in the manual that it can be configured on the mazda 6. They are using the same MZD connect system anyway.
this could be helpful

�
ya. It is about the balance.�a compromise we have to accept if you want to improve your handling. The instrument reading might be affected, but by how much, no one knows. The wheel arch is not a problem because functionally it doesn't matter unless aesthetics is a matter of concern.

Not too sure if Achilles is a downgrade.
