  1. The perceived value of an item or service may not be commensurate with its cost, even if the latter is zero. Navigation systems are considered to be a remnant of the past and are expected to become obsolete, similar to the fate experienced by TomTom and Garmin, since smartphones have gained widespread use. Technological advancements progress rapidly, so that even if one were fully informed on the latest developments at a given point in time, such knowledge would become obsolete within a short span of time.
  2. During the process of purchasing a 2021 CX30, I expressed a preference for a vehicle in the color red. Based on the advice of my sales representative, I was discouraged from proceeding with the purchase owing to concerns over potential chipping problems. Uncertain about the current status of the issue.
  3. Indeed, I am acquainted with an individual who had a really severe laceration on their finger while manipulating the chrome component responsible for elevating the seat.
  4. The observed marks seem to be indicative of water stains. By using a dual-action polisher and employing products such as Meguiar's Ultimate Compound or Koch Chemie P6.01, one may effectively address the issue at hand.
  5. I am now experiencing difficulties with starting a 1996 328 convertible. Despite successfully cranking the vehicle, it fails to start. I am in urgent need of assistance. In my attempt to resolve the issue, I have replaced a faulty DME unit with a replacement sourced from eBay. Additionally, I have bypassed the EWS system. As a result, fuel is being supplied to the engine, but there is a lack of spark.
  6. I wouldn't call it "Jag-like." They're just too hefty looking, too. Wires that are encased in plastic? Indeed a block heater.
  7. I agree that it most likely is residential wiring.
  8. I now wondered whether it wasn't a "block heater" customized for use in regions with harsher winters. Does ohming help? Perhaps with the ignition and motor both switched off? I have no idea what it may be and am just guessing. Variable resistance when running or stopping might be indicative of a pressure device. If the resistance remains the same in both states, it might be used as a heater. The cables seem bulkier than what's required for a transmitter. That's just my guess, however.
  9. The 3.5L engine shown in the factory handbook has a "plug" in that port. Similarly to Larry, I don't think we've ever seen an oil pressure sensor installed on any 3.5s we've worked on. The presence of two cables suggests that an electrical OP gauge was installed in the automobile at some time.
  10. Howdy, mate Have you figured out the button combination to enter pairing mode?
  11. add-on tool, you can clean your carpets with ease.
  12. What you're claiming is that 'all they did' was re-gas the air conditioning and perhaps charge you for their own Star diagnostic. If that's the case, I'm not sure what legal standing you'd have to demand that they 'repair it' for free. I don't see why they should replade it for free if their diagnostic indicated that the actuator needed to be replaced and you didn't pay them to do so. Or am I missing anything here?
  13. The 255/85s will be higher but thinner than the 265/75s I use on my 16-inch sawtooths, so they should fit without an issue. Since the 255/85s are often only available in an MT, it's worth noting that you may want to consider beads rather than normal weights for balance purposes. It's possible that a little tweak to the stops is all that's needed to eliminate friction at full steering lock. The ET20 specification will be stamped on the hub of factory-fresh sawtooth wheels.
  14. Since it's a sport nav, you might want to use the built-in SatNav. If you want to keep it up-to-date (with map updates, etc.), you will need to buy a membership to map updates and related services (since the 3 years that came with it are over). You MUST make sure that the SD card you put in your 2014 model is 16GB, because the 8GB card that came with it at the time was not big enough to handle the new patches. Due to the protection of the licencing on the SD card, only a dealer can move the licencing from an 8GB SD card to a 16GB SD card that Mazda provides. After that, you can update the map as usual through the Mazda tools.
