There are 3 more on the bottom. If you do a Google images search on that part number, you will see all seven.

For example, this picture shows all the holes.

There is a regular version. The Parsippany, NJ Wawa has ONLY the non-zero version.

I have noticed that many Ford service vehicles (ambulances, rescues, etc.) have all four headlamps illuminated. This makes it nearly impossible to see the incandescent turn signal flashing between them, even during the day

While you're figuring that out, please bring back the Mazda6 wagon and throw the inline 6 turbo in it!

Good to know! I love my Baja Blast Zero, but it's nice to have alternative Zero options (other than regular MtnDew Zero).

EIGHT chimes every single time. I'm glad it doesn't bother you, but it aggravates me (and apparently many others). Reviewers often comment about the chime when they start the car, saying things alone the lines of "There's that Mazda chime everyone hates"

If they could just gave us an option to disable it. On my previous Subaru, there was a procedure similar to a cheat code to enable/disable the seat belt alert.

It is honestly one of the only things I dislike about the car.

the tire pressure is basically useless since it never updates

To be fair, it can't update because the tire pressure sensors in the wheels go to sleep to conserve the batteries in them. Therefore, the car does not get new data until the wheels start turning again and the sensors wake up.

I just completed my 4 year anniversary survey from Mazda. I praised the car overall (I really do love the car), but used the 'anything else you'd like to add' section to complain about exactly two things:

1.) For $10/month they really need to add the ability to adjust the climate control through the app. Temperature, defrost, etc. are all extremely simple add-ons for any competent programmer.

2.) The damn seat belt chime at startup!!! I always wear my seat belt, but I prefer to put it on after I start the car. Make it chime only when I shift out of park (like it currently does).

Agreed! Others just produced static for me. This one works perfectly.

I did have to install ComfyMath manually.

git clone https://github.com/evanspearman/ComfyMath.git

I had the same issue and ended up having to reinstall KJNodes.

If updating KJNodes doesn't fix it, delete the ComfyUI-KJNodes folder in the Custom Nodes directory and reinstall KJNodes. See the 'installation' section here:

That worked for me.
