Ako ata to. 😛

Parang may lag nga lang ung infotainment ko. Not sure kung after update to 56 or after installing the video player hack.

Hmmmm, sa akin wala namang lag. Normal pa rin naman yun takbo ng Infotainment ko after installing the app

To those wanting to convert videos to MP4 for use with the Video Player mod, I highly recommend using this USB.

Sandisk Cruzer Fit 8GB 2.0

It's a USB 2.0 drive that does the job well. I have tried different available 8.0 Gb USB devices (Philips 2.0, Sandisk 3.0, some old 4GB USB 2.0) to store my movies but so far this was the one I've tested to work well with our M3. All the others either get stuck in "Preparing" or just say "Stopped" when playing the file.

I used ImTOO Video Converter Ultimate to convert my movies to MP4. Just use the "All iPhone 480P" settings when converting your files. You can OPT to lessen the file size by changing the bitrate and audio quality (I kept my movies under 500MB so I can utilize the storage).

Attachment 30157

I hope this helps. I opted to use this mod as I'm still waiting for a mod that will disable the handbrake restriction of the DVD player in our M3.

In acc, Just enter test mode via pressing music favorites and mute buttons same time for 5 seconds, then enter 22, restart car then test your dvd, it should be working while driving

Pareho tayo sir ace, matanong ko lang.. 1.5v ba sa inyo? Ung 1.5v kasi walang dvd player, 2.0 lang ata ung may dvd player.. Baka un din culprit, walang video renderer ung headunits naten na 1.5v... Hula ko lang po..

Thanks for sharing this. What version is your car on? I'm on v56 and the test screen says code 22 is invalid. Do I need to have a disc inside before pulling up the test screen?

There have been murmurs why SkyActiv cars lack sound deadening. Cost or corner-cutting some may dare accuse?...if these cars had regular combustion engines on the almost bare-to-the-bone body, the murmurs would've been screams!!!!

Those who know are likely to understand, appreciate & embrace Mazda's Sky wisdom & vision....

How did Mazda manage to make NVH a tolerable low? Look here...
Skyactiv has been about the reduction of engine NVH, not by adding sound deadeners but by FRICTION REDUCTION. -54% reduction in valvetrain friction
-74% increase in oil-pump efficiency
-31% increase in water-pump efficiency
-13 percent better breathing.
A smooth spinning engine.... less racket.

All that effort won't be optimized if people would just add poundage w/ sound deadening.
Just some loud thinking.

Travajante, Tahimik nga engine.. Pero hindi lang naman engine Ang source of noise.. Nandyan din ang tires.... They could have done a better job, KUNting sound deadeners Lang naman yan...

They opted to go lightening instead of adding horses, glenn sir. Some appreciate, some don't. History will show Mazda has always taken the road less traveled ... drive dynamics above comfort.

2016 10 BEST CARS

"10Best involves more than drawing up lists of our sub-$80,000 favorites. Every year we enter our weeklong evalu*ation looking for new and improved combinations of virtues: value and engagement, performance and poise, sights and sounds, soul and character. The cars that earn this award do more than merely succeed on one or two criteria; they come to us fully formed, polished, complete. But how do they get that way? This year we delve deeper into our winners’ makings to better explain why they won. Who builds and develops these cars? Where? How do they go about it? What is a 10Bester truly made of? There are, of course, varied answers because cars are not simple things. You do not buy them on Etsy, and we’re not running a Maker Faire here. Automobiles are still the most complex and technologically advanced consumer products that man has ever devised. What follows in this section is our proof."

THE WINNERS:
10. BMW M235i
9. Cadillac CTS Vsport
8. Chevy Camaro
7. Ford Mustang GT350/GT350R
6. Honda Accord
5. MAZDA MIATA MX5
4. MAZDA3
3. Porsche Boxster/Cayman
2. Tesla S70/70D
1. VW Golf GTI/ R

i've read before that the lack of sound proofing on 3 was intentional as it gives a 'better connected to the road' feel for the driver
try ko hanapin yung source but that was almost 3 years ago, when i was reading reviews and was looking to buy my first Mazda 3

Parang palusot ng Mazda ang dating hehehe. I admit the noise bothered me the 1st couple of months but then I don't even notice it anymore. The fun in riding this car totally makes up for it. I agree with earlier posts here that driving this MZ3 makes traffic less stressful.:thumbup::cool:
