2017 Mazda CX-5

[Specter]

Changing tint will do the trick.
Or if you wanna let them cut out a rectangular hole on the top center of your windshield.

My tint is yes, metallic type. Changing tint probably is my last resort.

According to them, cutting a slot for the sticker is not effective, someone tried it with his Vkool tint, and the RFID sticker still didn't work.

Just came from Mazda Pampanga. I had the wirings of my dashcam installed. I was afraid to open the A pillar plastic cover as I might accidentally trigger the airbag there. No waiting line for the CX-5. And they also have an upcoming soul red diesel.

Looks like those who reserved at the Jinbai Ittai event are excise tax affected already(all models) ...yikes. Plus no more incoming Diesel variants for the year.

Did you hardwire the dashcam? I used fuse taps to hardwire my dashcam.

It's USB powered so no hardwiring involved.

Mine was cut by their staff. I use vkool oem20 on the front. I just had the sticker aligned to the back of the rear view mirror so that I wouldnt notice the sticker. Tested and Works fine naman sa akin. And usually they test it before and after installation.

On a side note, meron na bang available class 1 stickers? Last time I checked, wala pa.

I heard the 2018 model is already released and has cylinder deactivation for the 2.5AWD gas. Can anybody confirm this?

For SLEX, wala pa nun last week. Sabi nila this December. Pero tentative. Ewan ko ba kung gumagawa sila ng artificial demand para sumingil na sila this time.

Sir nayare kayo ni Mazda Otis. the extra PHP 13,500.00 di na dapat sinisingil yun. Nag inquire ako sa ibang dealer they told me na yung tint it covers all window panels nung CX5. Wala na dapat additional.

Nagpunta ako sa Otis same offer din ang sinabi nila sa yo sa akin.

Ah hindi naman. Kasi lahat ng Autohub companies ganyan ang offer (eg. Ford). Free VKool tint all around pero visor type lang yung sa front windshield. Yung ang catch, baka hindi sinabi sa iyo hehe. Tsaka yung nilalagay nila sa windows na Vkool ay yung pinaka-basic nila, in short pinaka-mura. Yung sa windshield ko pinalagay ko yung top of the line para hindi malakas ang pasok ng sun. Tsaka alam naman natin na taga sa price ang VKool hehe

Depends on the vkool series. The OEM series cost around the same as with the 3M CS series. The totl VK series is more expensive than 3M's totl

Autohub is the Ph VKool distributor. Try to ask for the VK series as freebie.[emoji4]
Here's their tint chart. VK is their premium.

Sir I really don't know kung ano yung mas mahal kung VKool or 3M, whether having Vkool justifies the PHP 13,500.00 additional. Pero dun sa dealer na sinasabi ko they said they will put 3M (medium tint, depende sa buyer) on all panels. Including all of the windshield, di lang visor type. Sabi nga sa akin kung gusto ko raw pati yung panel sa middle window, saka sa trunk compartment, kaya lang madilim na yung area na yun, it's up to me daw kung papalagyan ko pa. Pero wala nang charges.

Yung Vkool kasi blocks heat better than 3M. Well compared sa FX model ng 3M. Yung FX kasi dyed, the vkool is metallic. Dyed will fade over time or mag mukhang violet. The problem naman with metallic is the signal ng mobile will be weak if not blocked. It will be problematic also sa mga RFID stickers ng NLEX or SLEX.

Kung 3M CS or crystalline ang freebie, best yun! I think ceramic ang CS, heat rejection is good and it won't interfere with the phone signal or RFID. Yung nga lang mahal ang CS. Sa casa it's 50k.

Ask nyo na lang kung anong model ng 3M ang ilagay. Pero ok naman ang free according to some guys here. You can opt to change it in the future kung gusto nyo ng may heat rejection. Usually ang price kasi sa labas ng tint installation, already includes removal of the old tint.

Yup, Autohub is the exclusive distributor of VKool. In fact, Mazda Otis used to be the VKool showroom.

I got the VK series that's why I had to shell out the extra Php13,500. The freebies on the windows are just the OEM type.

Around 40K for VK for all the windows and windshield. Around 30K for the X series.

[Verbl Kint]

How much would you need to add on top of the CX-5's SRP if you wanted the VK series tint from an Autohub dealer (windshield included but not sunroof)?

Ok thanks. Tanong ko rin kung anong model ng 3M ang ilalagay.

Php13,500 for full front windshield for the VK series. If all (eg. windshield, 4 windows and rear windshield), it's around Php42,000.00. That's what the SA quoted me if I wanted everything. I got the 2.0L, no sunroof.

33Actually sir meaning series or types ang Vkool. Kaya we cannot safely say na nayare si 3ple4.

From what I know, puro entry level lang ang most often free sa Mazda. The ceramic tints are not entry level ata maski sa ibang brand if you familiarize yourself with tints.
