If you're buying for resale, you might be luckier grabbing a Toyota, sir.
Mazda has always been more about the fun & the drive.[emoji4]
I'm never 1 who lets resale dictate my purchase. I do my own maintenance & grind most of mine to the ground. [emoji4]

With the exception of MX5s/Miatas, you will likely take a hit when the time comes (see the going rates of used Mazdas). Its a buyers market unfortunately.

Can anyone share a picture of the updated maps/Navi? I was told it now costs P6600 (or P6100) from the previous 3k+. I'm thinking of getting a phone holder instead and use Waze.

*travs or any other Mz3 owner using a phone holder, what brand/model do you suggest na di sana makakadamage sa vents hehe.

P6k?! Sa P3k mahal na nga since you can get a map for free. It's nice to have a map shown on the infotainment, but since it doesn't have live traffic updates, not with it. Waze is still better & more useful.

Sorry still can't seem to attach pictures. I'm just using a cheap magnet type & just placed it beneath the hazard light button.

Though not an M3, mine is mounted on the CD slot under the screen. Kinda covers the screen a bit pero super minimal.

Hello everybody! i have my M3 for almost a month and a half now and i am very pleased with its performance and i enjoy driving it very much that I put 3050+ km on the odometer already. The only problem that i encountered so far is one time after driving and arriving our house, when i press the switch off engine, the radio did not stop and it seems that the car is on acc. mode and whenever i try to leave with the key, the beeping will sound and i am unable to lock the doors. I tried to look for the problem in the manual but nothing's there. I drove the car again then tried to switch off the engine. still, the same results. so i tried to search on the net what to do and in turns out that in other countries, its not a rare occurrence for the cx-5 and m6. I decided to wait until the next morning and bring it to the casa. while thinking what can i switch off so that the battery will not be drained, i remember i left my power bank charging on the car's outlet. I was thinking that MAYBE the charging might be the reason but my hopes was not really that high so i started the car again removed the charger and when i pressed the switch off engine it worked! i was so relieved and had one of the best sleeps in my life. the next morning i tried to leave the power bank charging again just to check if it will happen again but it did not. Has anyone here experienced this?

Always put it in P before turning the engine off. On Neutral or any other gear, you'll get ACC on upon shut down.

It was on park. I started the car and put it do drive then returned it to park nothing happened.

It should be on P before turning off. Doing it after shut down will leave ACC on timer.
If glitch is still present & yours is a 1.5, you may try disconnecting the negative batt terminal for a bit. Should this not do anything, visit the dealership. They should do the inspection below.

Very interesting... I've not heard of anything like this until just now.

But do you mean to say that there's no other way to turn off the infotainment system than just switch the engine off? I've not noticed this during my test drive last week.

I'll get my M3 on Saturday; let me try that one out.

The infotainment isn't just the audiovisual headunit. It has integral electronic functions tied to the control module. You can opt to mute the audio or blank the display, but it remains on while car is on.

You have my following

I grew up in a family of Toyota-lovers. I started to break that Toyota tradition with a Subaru, and now with a Mazda. I believe it's all about enjoying what we like. So now, I have this cross the bridge when I come to it mentality.

I love this line a lot

Yes, yes, I know well; but when you said it remains on while car is on... does it mean when I start the car, the whole system turns on?

And the only way to turn it off is to switch the engine off?

Basically, yes. It's not like the old school headunits we all grew up with.[emoji4]

I've noticed a pattern with the my choices. Those made on pure logic never were as lasting as those dictated by the repetitive voices heard inside.....crazy, I know.[emoji16]

Oh... hahaha

My dad taught me to turn everything off before switching the engine off... because when you switch the engine on again, everything that you didn't turn off would consume more battery power/energy. I just realized I don't know if this is really true
