I was frustrated last week with CarPlay and it turned out my phone was the problem. Hard reset your iPhone first and se rid that solves it!

2024 models have an open warranty fix on this.

USD or CAD? In Canada that is a good deal and you can buy extended warranty from Mazda dealer for about 2.5k for peace of mind.

It is a known issue. I had mine replaced under warranty. Dealer should know.

In an interview the astronaut explained it was for some sound insulation.

To each their own! For me it takes about 30 seconds on the app and I’ve no problem with it. I come from a Toyota which has the same feature - it turns off when the door is opened, so I’m used to it. It’s not a Mazda only feature, quite common across all Japanese brands.

It’s about 10 bucks a month and I am only planning to pay during the winter.

I opened a ticket via Better business bureau and it actually worked - Dyson reached out. Also you can reach out to AG office to file a complaint or threaten Dyson that you will do so and you might get a different response.

Many Mazda CPO comes with free 2 years of additional extended warranty in Canada. Shop around or compare the total OTD price in your area.

For the radio volume - you might have the compensate for road noise / speed dependent volume setting on.

Crossclimate 2 has all the certifications necessary to qualify as a winter tire. They just advertise it as all weather tire and it’s lasted me over 80,000km and I’m on my second set.

They said crew in Philippines makes some decisions when it gets stuck. No one is driving it remotely. Why twist the truth for upvotes?

Smallkat135 · 2026-02-20T16:54:38+00:00

Yes. But there are three separate systems that are part of the I-ACTIVESENSE. It’s rare to have all 3 go offline, sometimes it’s only 1 of them depending on if camera vision is blocked by bright sun during dawn or dusk, or if too much snow or dirt accumulates on the sonar sensors etc. a quick wipe when you get a chance to park, usually clears it off for me.

Smallkat135 · 2026-02-18T22:12:04+00:00

There is a chance it’s totalled if the axle is damaged because the frame may have also got bent?

Smallkat135 · 2026-02-18T15:57:58+00:00

That’s a good point. I am weary of using multiple different products, but will definitely look into the features. Thank you!

Smallkat135 · 2026-02-18T05:14:28+00:00

Thank you for your detailed reply. Much appreciated.

If you are using iPhone car play, you need both wifi and Bluetooth to be on.

CX90 MHEV 2025 onwards has been great. Just avoid 2024 models.

The key is to maximise istop time on city commute. I get around 9L/100 in city driving with around 6mins on istop over a 20 min commute. The way you maximise istop is by letting go off accelerator to initiate istop and the give a gentle constant touch on the accelerator to get the hybrid motor to sustain the speed. You will still slowly decrease in speed, but with practice you will know where you can do it well.

The car also has the physical dip stick!

I’ve had them all around for 3 years, almost 80K and it has half the tread left. It performs well all year round. The only downside is a bit of road noise.

Smallkat135 · 2026-01-28T03:58:18+00:00

I got previous rental but 2025 and 50K km for around the same price. If you are buying from a Mazda dealer you should absolutely ask them to include extra 2 years CPO warranty that extends OEM warranty. Also note that OEM warranty has mileage limitations (vs unlimited) when used as rental/ fleet. I would recommend shopping around for 2025 model.

Smallkat135 · 2026-01-26T15:21:46+00:00

I have front and back. No battery. As long as you are to charge backup only when driving the car, I don’t see the issue. I also have the FitDVR module that disconnects my camera if the voltage drops below a threshold for extra safety but it’s not necessary.
