Hi, I bought a 2019 Mazda 3 AWD Premium hatchback about 2 months ago. I love it! However, there have been 3 instances where the smart brake support/collision avoidance has kicked in unexpectedly. I'm not sure what the exact safety feature/system is called, but it has to do with braking. All 3...

Hello! not sure if anyone else with Android auto or Apple car play have noticed, one of the things i did enjoy with my regular navigation from Mazda was the feature of notifying what street was coming next, it would always pop up on the top of the screen the street names. I liked that feature...

Hello Everyone, This post will be updated by Rafael, soon with some upcoming features that he is working on specifically for the 2018+ ECU.

Hi all, I did several searches in this Forum and Google and didn't find this question answered - I have an illuminated accessory (Uniden Bearcat police scanner) that I'm installing in my 2018 M3GT. It has a 3-wire power harness, the 3rd wire of which can be used to dim the display in concert...

hi all. is there any criteria that need to be met so that the I-stop become active? normally, the engine shuts down when you press the brake deeper. but some times, the I-stop icon does not light up on the dash board or stop my engine when I deeply press the brake even though I have activated it...

I was driving today in the Bronx, with Waze running on my phone which was charging from the 12v, and listening to my Ipod thru the USB, when I got red light camera warnings thru the stereo speakers! It was definitely not Waze because that was speaking thru the phone speaker. The nav system...

If your Mazda could have one more feature what would it be? A turbo? AWD? Or something simpler like a faster infotainment system? So what feature do you wish your Mazda had? Be reasonable too please, a twin turbo V12 is not reasonable lol. I will start it off, power seat memory, I wish Mazda...

Starting a new instagram page to feature 5door cars such as hatchbacks and wagons. Use hash tag #5doordrivers to be featured.

... a.k.a. map light 'On.' File this under 'Do as I say, not as I do.' Hopped out of the car last Sunday, lifting something heavy (can't remember what it was) off the passenger seat. Hand bumped the roof in the area of the map lights, sunglasses holder. I was in a hurry so I paid no further...

Long story short. My 2014 Mazda3 sGT (2.5L) met it's demise and now I am looking to replace it with similiar. Given the circumstances of it's demise, I'm thinking of getting the technology package with Smart City Braking as well. I know exactly what I got in my 2014 model and remember the...

So I have a 14' iGT I bought pre-owned from Carmax a while ago with 25k miles I love the car. Anyway I noticed that the keyfob light would light up (green) in the dash after I turned the car off. I looked it up on the manual and it stated that the either the keyless entry/push button start...

2015 3i sport hatchback saw that the 'auto relock time' was set to 30 sec. thought this was the walk away auto lock feature. it isn't. :( does my car have a walk-away lock feature? and what does 'auto relock time' do?

I recently was upgraded by the dealer from V31 to V55. Since then, I have not noticed any improvements of any sort, but the new version does have one annoying "feature". While listening to XM, if I go to the Favorites list and select a station on the list, on V31 it used to then go back to the...

2014 Mazda3 GTS I had been unhappy with the fact that I could not change the nav volume without stopping the car to get it into setup. How unfriendly, I often set a destination where I know the route for the first phase of the trip and don't want the interruption but want directions as I near...

While I'm sure most of us love our Mazdas, there are probably features (either stock or Factory/Dealer installed) that leave us scratching our head, thinking the car would be just fine without it... So this really is more of a - What feature came with your Mazda 3 that you could do without? *if...
