  1. Much obliged for the lengthy reply. The activation of additional modules and equipment makes this sound like Porsche. To activate or link specific items to a car, even with used hardware and all the proper supporting parts fitted, you still need a dealer PIWIS that speaks back to Germany. The option exists, at least, if one can locate a Mazda dealer willing to negotiate.
  2. When incorporated functions are enabled or disabled depending on trim, it sounds like "coding" in a number of German manufactures. In a similar vein, there are numerous cloned diagnostic tools (such as GM Tech 2 and Porsche PIWIS) and third-party products (such as Autel, Foxwell, Carly, Thinkdiag, etc.) that can still decode the vehicles. Has it been verified that a high-end Autel or similar device does not have these settings? Does MDARS require internet connectivity in order to function (web browser/console based) or is it merely utilised to verify an active MDARS licence with Mazda? In the latter case, the emergence of clones wouldn't shock me in the least.
  3. I appreciate the guidance, however I've already attempted using new OEM clips.
  4. My E46 convertible's OEM door card clips won't stay in place; they constantly falling out from the bottom. There are no cables or other interference issues, as far as I can see. Will the door holes enlarge with time? Can somebody suggest any clips that are more robust? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
  5. Excellent effort, best of luck; undoubtedly more courageous than I.
  6. 10,000 miles or 12 months The rationale for extending the intervals is to enhance their attractiveness to leasing businesses. I have observed numerous BMW diesel vehicles operating under the CBS system, all of which exhibit sludge accumulation. The oil maintains significant carbon when subjected to CBS, which substantially contributes to premature chain failures and the spinning of bottom end bearings, resulting in extensive and costly damage. Considering the cost of oil and filter changes, performing them every 10,000 miles or annually is an obvious choice for me.
  7. Certainly. It is not even available as an additional option, unlike certain other petrol/diesel vehicles, such as those from Volvo, if I remember correctly.
  8. I disagree. You may either activate the horn or lock it remotely. Activating remote heating is feasible solely with the plug-in hybrid variant.
  9. Fortunately, it was merely her expressing distress. It may have easily been another somebody who was slain.
  10. Exercise caution while driving on sand and ensure you have a companion equipped with a tow hook.
  11. This is not an issue. This is the manner in which this car functions. The user manual explicitly states this information. Engage the BRAKE, observe the READY indicator, and shift to D. It is indeed that simple. 😊👍
  12. I possess a BM6. Justifiable expense. As you can verify while remaining in the warmth. You will also be able to move to a fresh battery. A four-year-old battery as well.
