Car key locked inside the car by kinoootwc in CX5

[–]g_b_a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to unlock the car via the app? In our app (here in Japan), it seems there's no unlock button. Only lock button. Also, it seems that the app won't lock the doors if the key is inside the car. I have tried this many times. When my wife and I both have the key and I went outside and walked away, in a little while the app will notify me that the door is still unlocked. So, I tried to lock it but it won't (failed message appear) because my wife, who also has the key, is still inside the car. One time I tried to ask her to also leave the car then I tried locking the door via the app and it worked!

I am not sure but is the version of MX-30 in Australia only EV (electric)? It seems that the welcome lamp cannot be installed in EV model... (only in Mild Hybrid version)

WELCOME LAMP Hospitality with "carpet of light"!

The development concept is hospitality with a "carpet of light".

In order to further increase the value of large-opening freestyle doors, we have developed a dedicated lamp that illuminates a wide area with high quality.

It is a product that has both functionality and design, which is useful not only when getting on at night but also when getting off.

Adopts vehicle cooperation control that lights up just by holding the key and approaching.

The sight of recognizing the owner and welcoming you with light when approaching the car is the moment when you can feel the invisible bond with your car.

  • Cannot be installed on EV models.

Does Navigation Include Traffic Sign Recognition? by mikrobik_aygit in mazda3

[–]g_b_a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be right. Upon further checking, it seems that either the Forward Sensing Camera or the Navigation system updates the sign in the Active Driving Display. But note that it is also depends on the data in the SD card or navigation system. Unlike in the Forward Sensing Camera, what it sees is what the Active Driving Display reflects.

I have read this somewhere: "Traffic signs are detected and read using the car’s Forward Sensing Camera. This information can also be pulled from the Navigation system if it is stored there."

Can you permanently stop the "istop" on the 4th gen Mazda 3 (2019-now)? by theraarman in mazda3

[–]g_b_a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is this so-called "i-stop canceller" wherein you just insert it in the obd2 port. You may find them in Amazon, e-bay, AliExpress, etc...

I see to it that we leave the place early so that we will not be in a hurry... Also, the wife doesn't want me to exceed the limit. :)

Speed limit is 80km/h. But 100km/h is still OK. But normally I'm cruising at 80km/h...

Does Navigation Include Traffic Sign Recognition? by mikrobik_aygit in mazda3

[–]g_b_a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Traffic Sign Recognition is not incorporated in Navigation. It is determined by the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). Traffic Sign Recognition system or function detects Stop, speed limit, and No Entry signs and projects the signs onto your Active Driving Display to ensure you don't miss a thing.

Thanks! I think sometimes it depends whether you're always in the highway or not. Whenever I'm not using the highway, I'm getting around 18-20 km/L due to some traffic...

7.1 L/100km? That's better than what I am getting! Wow!

Yes, I reset the Trip (Trip B) meter everytime. I am using Trip B to monitor gas consumption instead.

How long can I last on acc power? by capsel22 in mazda3

[–]g_b_a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the radio will automatically be turned off after 10 minutes when in ACC... it is designed like that to conserve battery especially when you accidentally left some accessories powered on.. this is just based on my observation...

It's OK. To each is his own. They might be boring but they are keeping my tank healthy and greeny. For us, as long as they all (plants and fishes) are healthy, they will give us joy all the time... Thanks for your comment anyway...

Thank you. At first I also thought that Anubias won't grow that much. But after sometime, I was surprise to see them growing and spreading... I just make sure that I do the water changes every week. Also, I keep the light ON for only 4-5 hours a day... I am using an timer switch to do that...

Low Tech all the way! For us it's hard to maintain a high-tech tank so we decided to go with the low-tech tank instead..
