2014 Mazda 3

[black eye]

That was the same thing they told me. They upgrade infotainment for the navi, but I'm not interested in the navi as I prefer using Google maps and I don't want to pay for the sd card. Regarding the backup camera, I was able to have an OEM one installed on my 2014 mazda3. It was installed by mazda Alabang.

Same here. Kakainis nang tumawag sa casa dito. I love my car, don't get me wrong. Pero the lack of oem accessories and support is really disappointing. I also inquired before if they upgrade the infotainment and got the same answer as you. But what's weird is when I asked about the SD card/Navi, ichcheck daw muna nila if your infotainment is a particular version, if not, they will upgrade the firmware first (kala ko ba di sila naguupgrade?). Tsaka nakareserve daw ang sd card for the new units. How hard is it to have some sd cards in stock for those interested in buying di ba?

Then I also inquired about them having an OEM backup camera for the 2014 Mazda3. Wala daw. Sabi pa nga they tried it before pero walang abang na wire daw ang 2014 units(wtf?!). They only had a camera wherein the video will show on the rearview mirror (?!). I said that I have an aftermarket camera which was just plug & play. Meaning meron naman talagang abang na wiring kasi sa ibang bansa may camera naman talaga. I just wanted to inquire their price kasi the one I have (bought from Lamson) kinda looks foggy kahit anong linis sa lens.

Very disappointed lang talaga sa Mazda Philippines when it comes to that aspect.

Sad to say totoo yan. Well in reality tingin ko too much tech for them to process. And perhaps they couldn't afford a tech person per dealer who is knowledgeable in terms of Mazda tech. However you can try the customer service of Mazda Philippines via email muna. They have better knowledge of the system. Then ask them to refer you to a dealer where they can do your required job.

Would you happen to know the email or contact person of Mazda Philippines? Their website just lists the dealers. Been wanting to contact their head office regarding the infotainment firmware update. In other countries, this is a service that dealers freely offer mazda owners.

I dread the day when my infotainment or the other tech features of my Mazda3 and CX5 malfunction. I really doubt if our local dealers can troubleshoot or repair these tech features, should they develop problems. Simpleng firmware update nga lang di ni magawa.

Meron po bang dealer na nag-uupgrade ng infotainment firmware. I have a 3-year old mazda3 1.5 hatch with infotainment firmware v.31.00.100. For the past 3 years, I've asking mazda Alabang if they can update the firmware and they always say that they don't have firmware updates yet. I know that we can download it from the web but I'd rather they do it for me as I'm afraid of bricking my infotainment.

Show your dealership the Official Mazda TSB embedded in this link:

Let em do it, if you're not confident nor comfortable w/ DIY. There is a brick risk.

Same gas station and gas? If not, it could be because of high sulfur content on gas from that station.

Sa akin naman sir iba, parang pumapasok ang amoy sa labas kahit na slow moving traffic, naka inside circulation mode ang aircon.

No point ranting issue about casa's shortcomings here sa forum po. But you can try to email customer.service*mazda.ph

Let's hope the SkyActiv body is not included. Otherwise this is a very big recall.

My mazda3 is missing something I don't know how it was lost. I didn't bumped or crashed into something. Anyone else had this problem?

It must've unclipped itself....Perhaps from carwash? You can grab that missing part from the dealership.

Hello Sirs, ask ko lang kung meron kayo recommended shops for repair/repaint for Mazda 3 Soul Red, planning to have it fixed outside of casa. Thanks in advance!

Same here, nawala din ganyan ko and ng ka dent pa yung bumper ko I think natanggal siya nung dumaan ako sa baha. May idea kayo sir how much sya sa dealership?

It shouldn't be pricey, sir.
