  1. Indeed, the use of the USB connection is crucial for the activation of Android Auto.
  2. The support for Windows 7 ceased in January 2020. This implies the absence of security upgrades, so making the identification of those who possess access to one's data uncertain. It is recommended to proceed with the upgrade to Windows 10 since it currently represents the most dated Windows version that is still receiving support. However, it is important to note that this support will only be available until October 2025. Staying updated with this subject matter is essential, unless one intends to sever its connection to the Internet.
  3. The adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" might perhaps provide assistance to a fellow owner of an R129 vehicle in the future.
  4. I am pleased that the issue was resolved at a relatively low cost, at a location that is easily accessible and not deeply embedded inside the internal components of the heater/air conditioning system. Was the leakage seen on the air handler assembly or the 15-way switchover valve assembly?
  5. The primary issue at hand pertains to the accessibility and proficiency in handling outdated technology. It should be noted that not all individuals operating independently possess the necessary familiarity in this regard. Therefore, it is advisable to inquire about the particular number of repairs they have successfully conducted in relation to this technology. The expenses associated with labour may be elevated.
  6. This pertains to a course in the C programming language, where the fundamental ideas remain consistent.
  7. It is probable that the operator diaphragm has failed. To assess the vacuum integrity, one may use a handheld vacuum pump to locate the operational line. Addressing the issue of a potential leak in the operator itself may provide a distinct challenge.
  8. If I recall correctly, the first versions of the R129 had electrically controlled pneumatic flaps that were operated via vacuum diaphragms. Over time, these diaphragms tend to deteriorate and develop leaks, resulting in a failure to function properly. It is possible that subsequent models may have transitioned to a fully electronic system. I am uncertain about the matter at hand. One issue associated with electrically switched pneumatic valves is that despite the absence of fault codes, their operation may be hindered due to the presence of vacuum leaks.
  9. The vehicle has a length of around 196 inches, providing ample legroom and a commendable amount of luggage capacity when the seats are in an upright position. The rear hatch has a steep incline, rather than a long back hatch with a low angle, in order to maximise the interior height and extend it into the cargo compartment. It is advisable to go for the 19-inch tyres included in the higher-end Premium packages, while considering the 21-inch tyres as an optional addition. This recommendation is particularly relevant for those residing in the Northeast area, characterised by snowy circumstances and poorly maintained roads with many potholes. The 19-inch tyres exhibit more resilience and perform more effectively in adverse weather conditions, as supported by personal experiences. The objective is to enhance the performance of the basic turbo engine by optimising its tuning to operate efficiently on ordinary petrol, which is more cost-effective. It is believed that by using this tuning approach, it should be feasible to get a horsepower output of 300 or more. This estimation is derived from personal experience with a current vehicle equipped with a 3.3 turbo engine. The inclusion of a deletion or bypass mode for the mild hybrid system is being proposed. The potential weight reduction of the CX-90 by around 300-400 lbs may be achieved by eliminating the third row seats and reducing the overall length of the vehicle by a few inches. The objective is to address the malfunctioning behaviour of the BSM (blind spot monitoring) capability. Specifically, there is a recurring issue where 90% of the reported alerts are false positives. It is hoped that this problem may be attributed to a software flaw, in which case rectifying the defect would be the solution. Alternatively, if the issue persists, it may be necessary to explore alternative sensor implementations that are shown to be effective. The objective is to investigate the underlying cause of the intermittent blank screen reports in the infotainment system.
  10. Products without a specific brand originating from online retailers such as "Newfrog" or "Tomtop" may be procured directly from China within an approximate timeframe of two weeks. The cost of a 125ml spray bottle, including shipment, is around £6. Undoubtedly, this polish exhibits the highest level of water repellency I have seen so far. The application process is straightforward, resembling that of Mr. Sheen. It involves spraying the substance (preferably on a day with less wind) and then buffing it until a noticeable shine is achieved. The task was completed three months ago, and with each subsequent washing, the appearance is restored as if the task had been freshly completed.
  11. The potential cause of the issue may be attributed to the alternator. The rapid depletion of the battery might be attributed to a malfunctioning diode or a defective regulator.
  12. I am eager to ascertain the fuel efficiency I will achieve upon acquiring the vehicle. However, I have decided against relying on the gauges due to several accounts of dissatisfaction and frustration. The proposed methodology involves documenting the expenses incurred for gasoline and electricity, as well as the monthly mileage, followed by a straightforward computation to get the resultant miles per gallon (mpg) value.
  13. That is a valid observation, since I had not previously considered the possibility that it may be a characteristic exclusive to the "500" category. My first assumption was that all entities would engage in such behavior. Apologies to the original poster if such circumstances exist.
  14. I am curious as to whether the issue at hand has resemblance to that of an antiquated automotive battery experiencing a state of insufficient electrical charge.
  15. It is noteworthy that my experience differs from yours in terms of functionality. When the boot is fully opened, the roof is automatically lifted up. To shut the boot, one only has to push the button to return the roof to its stored position. It is my understanding that all roofs should function in this manner. It is possible that the issue at hand may be more complex than first perceived. I kindly request that another individual provide validation or refutation of my statement.
  16. Yes, I was considering Lancaster, New York.Fredonia is located about 20 minutes north of the Pennsylvania border, next to the Thruway.Ripley serves as the first exit in the state of New York, followed by Westfield, and afterwards Fredonia.
  17. I am a resident of Fredonia, New York, and I often use Towne Mazda, a dealership located in close proximity to the McKinley Mall, around five minutes away.I was specifically referring to Leisure Rinks.
  18. Is it possible that you are referring about the Town Mazda dealership located between the hockey arena and Balle Total Fitness?
  19. I have not received any guidance, nevertheless, I like your selection of Falken rims. I have just installed a set of Falken Explicit rims on my M6 vehicle, and I am really satisfied with their performance and aesthetic appeal.
  20. It is rather remarkable that a mere six instances of malfunction have occurred throughout a span of 30,000 kilometers. The issue at hand is not exclusive to MAZDA vehicles. Contrary to popular belief on online forums, the notion that only Soul RED paint is the only option is not entirely accurate. The quality of the paint is not a determining factor either. The Mazda vehicle in my possession is of the Mica kind and has been consistently stored inside a garage, with rigorous maintenance practices being diligently adhered to. It is my fervent desire that, despite having reached a mileage of 30,000, the number of paint chips on the vehicle would be limited to a mere six.
  21. Please consult the color code provided and seek assistance from an MAZDA dealership or an automotive body and paint establishment in order to get precise information pertaining to your inquiry.
  22. The use of a ratchet wrench in conjunction with a secondary closed-ended wrench retrieved from the wheel well was employed.
  23. The process of removing the bench on the S212 is unexpectedly straightforward. To begin, one must firmly grasp the front edge of the bench at both ends, specifically where the front of the seat transitions into a curved shape towards the side. To provide a clearer visual, envision yourself seated behind the driver's seat, and locate the spot just to the right of your right knee. Apply a quick and forceful upward motion to successfully detach the bench. There are just two types of connectors, to the best of my recollection, that secure the front seat in place. Once these items are available at no cost, it becomes possible to liberate the whole bench from the hooks located in the rear. According to recollection, the procedure involves exerting force on the bench towards the back of the vehicle, then lifting it and disengaging the hooks. I was taken aback by the absence of further measures to secure the bench, which likely explains why it was producing a rattling sound in my particular situation. Upon first removing the bench in my possession, I fortuitously discovered a sum of £1.20 in miscellaneous currency, so constituting an unforeseen further gain.
