I'm thinking it might only work in a scenario like say, Tagaytay Sta Road late at night.

Btw, what do you think of our stock horn? :P

stock horn is adequate but not enough to move the A$$es of PUVs

Ya, I didn't try the horn during the test drive and only found out after I got the unit hehe. I even thought it was defective until I tried another unit in the dealer.

I wonder if it's easy to install an aftermarket horn. Saw this video comparing the horn of the new 6 and CX-5... and CX-5 sounds like a toy trumpet

c_cube, by the way, does your lane departure feature work? I've turned on mine but the dash icon is always on amber light. I think it uses the same sensor as the HBC so I wonder if mine is active.

Also, just found out that our CX-5 have 8 parking sensors and the Mazda sales guy mistakenly took the 2 front parking sensors as the lane departure sensor. It's nice to have factory installed full parking sensors + rear view camera as they used to be available only in more expensive cars.

Another thing, does your car auto lock when you speed up? Seems like I need to manually lock the car whenever I start driving.

I actually have the same question sana, it seems nga parang hindi automatically naga-activate un highbeam although wala nman sasakyan sa harap. I tested it in our place though hindi naman totally dark sa place dahil sa mga street light pero wala rin. I'll ask nalang un dealer on my first pms. Also tested un lane departure warning sa nlex, intentionally nga nakagitna na sa white lines pero wala rin warning beep (turn signal is not click). I had bosch europa silver (India) installed on mine just like the other owners, sa banawe ko nabili and was charged 2.8k with installation na rin. Be aware though, hindi lang un top portion ang tatanggalin para mailagay un horn almost ung front bumper na, got me worried at first pero since katabi ko nilalagyan din ay brand new lexus so ok naman, no wires were cut pala so anytime pede ko ibalik un oem horn (potpot). So far tumatabi naman pag nabusinahan at napipikon talaga sa lakas. Kaya dapat hinay lang baka kc batuhin ka..hehe. Haven't installed the mudguards, nagtanong ako sa dealer and they're charging me 1,050.00 sabi ko next time na lang.

Lane departure by default is always ON once you start the engine. Amber light means Off. i myself dont get any warnings when i intentionally wants to steer the car out of lane.

No speed sensing door locks. i asked mazda makati for this pero wala daw talaga. i dont know for other casas if they have an idea.

So far i have only tested the auto rain sensing wipers and RVM

pinacheck ko sa Mazda Pasig dati, wala talaga makita sa computer. Need pa ng third party alarm module para magkaroon ng speed sensing locks.

I'm curious, has anyone actually got the Mazda high beam control system (HBC) to work? I've set it up and already checked that the front tint is not covering the sensor. But so far, driving in dark quiet streets of a subdivision didn't automatically turn the high beams on.

Also, anyone changed their horns already? What are good choices? Did you get the dealer to do it?

auto-lowbeam yata ang HBCS mga sir.. correct me if im wrong.

try nyo manually switch to high beam then ilawan nyo yung sensor/camera para automatically mag low beam.
