Apologies for the booboo.
Next gen Start/Stop systems are planned to have no switches.

CX5 diesel, is it still from Japan? Or both diesel and petrol variants will now come from Malaysia?

All are from Malaysia now. Saw all 3 variants w/ my own 2 eyes....except I did not check the iStop switch, just the VIN....my bad.

Yikes. Hmm, although the times I've used iStop have been few yet quite smooth when it did activate...still I like the quick ability to disable it.

Hope the bonnet switch will still be tweakable then....[emoji4]

I called Motolite Express just to verify if they do not sell batteries for iStop. They do not sell it. Sa casa lang daw nagbebenta.

Just wondering if the Japan and Malaysia variants have differences externally. So that one look, you'd know if it's from Japan or Malaysia. Maybe the mags have different designs?

The MY rear windows are clear glass. Worry not about iStop batts...a consistent supply of better, higher spec'd ones will be offered in your neckodawoods soon.[emoji4]

What do you call this type of battery again? In case I want to look for other brands.

My friend who drives a Mazda 6, immediately changed his battery as soon as he felt that it was getting weak kahit na ok pa naman. He told me it cost around 20K from the casa.

Motolite's EFB is around 14k from dealerships. Mazda uses Q85. Start/Stop systems require EFBs or AGMs...the latter is better.
