2014 Mazda 3

[Yatta]

Last PMS I updated the version of my MZD connect and that includes the navigation map, yesterday i went to Shanghai, upon reaching Hangzhou, navigation went haywire, it keeps on telling me to turn left or turn right at the middle of the expressway while travelling at 100kph!!! The map shows a different location, and at one time i saw my location already travelling thru a river

OT: does anybody know what vehicle using HB4 bulb? TIA

Its normal for you to be off by a few meters since you are moving after all, and these are cheap consumer-grade receivers. Satellite signal availability may also be an issue. There is an area near my house where my Garmins (I have several) loose satellite lock for for a few minutes while I pass by.

Although this being in China, the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that the US is turning on Selective Availability (SA) again hehe.

Satellite line of site is OK, sunny and not cloudy, i usually use two navigation when i travel here, one is the car on board navigation and one is my phone google map (yes, i can use google here coz im using VPN hehehe), the main reason im using the on board navigation system is bcoz it tells me where the speed cameras are located and the max speed that i can go along the expressway, when i was somewhere in Hangzhou, when the navigation went haywire, the navigation informed me that the max speed on the expressway was 30-40kph hahahahaha but road signs are indication 120kph.

So will that new 2.5 Turbo engine fit the 2.0's engine bay? Just curious to the possibilities

I saw this in the south area, Las Pinas and Alabang...twice. the dash cam and LED fogs gave it away hehehe (unless it has an identical one which I doubt)

[go-to-guy]

Just got off the phone sa Mazda Alabang service dept...nagtaas na sila ng charge for the SD Card, 3500 na daw from 3000 dahil daw sa labor. Kesyo ipprogram pa daw ang infotainment etc.. grabe. Dapat nga free tapos nagtaas pa. But the good news is if you would only like to update your infotainment without getting the SD Card Navi, it's free. Sabi niya madami daw mga new features yung update, I wonder what those are (?) I'll have mine scheduled next week.
Anyway my sales agent naman told me frankly na ang pangit daw ng gps compared sa mga Mitsu or Honda. Kumbaga naglabas lang daw ang Mazda Ph for the sake lang na magamit siya sa feature ng car. Naalala ko tuloy sa Carguide when they test drove the newly released 3 na it came with GPS but then pinullout daw ng Mazda ph kasi parang beta version lang daw yun. Makes me think kung yun lang din ang nirelease nila this month. Anyone here with the sd card? Kahit diniscourage ako parang pinagiisipan ko pa e lol.

Thanks sa update sir i'd be surprised kung pati ung pag update ng firmware is may bayad pa.

I'll have mine scheduled rin (Y)

share ko lang opinion/points ko sa bagong labas na gps sd card with installation:

First. ung fee nila na 3k (at ngayon tinaas pa na 3.5k) is not fair
Second. The gps software itself is lacking (isipin mong walang voice navigation or point of interest directions) ng GPS kapa????
Third. Paano ang update sa maps? considering in the future may mga bagong changes or improvements sa infrastructure sa Pinas. Another fee for an update??

My Remedy/Alternatives:
Bumili nalang ako smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Prime) worth 3k to work as "stand alone" gps and extra phone
-installed HERE (OFFLINE GPS with voice navigation, regular update of maps, POIs)
-added a spare expandable micro sd card 64gb for mp3 and movies inside the smartphone
-I can use smartphone mirroring via mazda media player


edi mas Sulit ang 3k. Honest opinion lang mga master..

Hmmm, this sounds like a good idea. Sorry I'll be getting my unit tomorrow pa. Can it also mirror Waze? Is it only for android? Or can it also work for iphone?

Thanks!

Ung mirroring feature po niya sir, na DIY install from mazda3revolution thread. Parang Hack po siya for additional features. Ung factory settings po kasi ng infotainment naten ay medyo may glitches at bugs. It can mirror waze, sad to say po, for android lang siya.

Grats & thanks, bugs sir! Very nice!!!! WelcoM3 to the Mown3rship!!!!! Careful w/ that slippery slope we told you about.

[rpv5]

Yes, the 2.5T fits the 3 & the 6.....Mazda is just holding back....

Woot! Though the costs of getting that engine here may be huge, just imagining that on the 2.0 Mz3 + the Orange Virus Tune + some other performance mods, we may be looking at somewhere around 300 hp eh?

300hp on a 2.0 would need some form of forced induction, hardware & tune. I can't imagine the cost.
Best bang for buck option? OrangeVirusTuning, the Mazda tuner known the world over, is now serving Ph Mown3rs. Safe Custom Tunes. No Splices. No Chips. Reviews have been nothing short of positive. Let's await dyno figures from OVTph. For those seeking a bit more power, more torque, better efficiency & balance, call them for a sched.

New Genuine Mazda 3 Mobile Phone Cup Holder Mazda3 BM11 AC Cup 2013 Current | eBay

When I was having the horn replaced at Goldcars in banawe yesterday, I chanced upon this in the store.



It looks like the one Sir Travs posted but a lot cheaper (P900)!

It can fit only the small cup holder (the one near the armrest console).



Kinda difficult lang to look at the road then check on your phone.
