Could someone identify the illuminated button for me?
markjay replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
Personally, I have a strong aversion to Idle Stop-Start (ISG) technology. In fact, in the last five automobiles that I have had, I have consistently disabled it at the beginning of every trip. -
You are fortunate.

I am contemplating the purchase of velvet car mats with the GT-line S emblem, which are available at a more economical price on some websites.

Regrettably, due to my exclusive emphasis on the car's delivery date, I overlooked some possibilities that may have resulted in receiving freebies. I have planned a summer vacation in Greece and I have purchased a ferry ticket departing from Italy. :D:D:

Sound counsel. Appreciation is expressed.

I really appreciate all of your responses.

I would want to inquire about many matters. Could you kindly assist me? Does the purchase of a new Kia Sportage GT-Line S Hybrid include a carpet floor mat set? Additionally, does the automobile have a Fire Extinguisher and a first aid kit? Appreciation is expressed for your kind gesture.

Greetings, everyone. I am new to this platform. We have had our CX90 PHEV for almost one month in the cold climate of Colorado. The following is a description of my experience: Purchased the vehicle, transported it to my residence, and regularly recharge it every evening (scheduled via the application to begin at 10pm according to the local time) using a 110-volt power source. At the beginning, the indicated full charge range was consistently 26 miles, and this remained steady for the first two weeks. The current weather conditions remain same, and the battery will only charge up to a range of 16 miles until it reaches 100% capacity (see to the attached photos). I just noticed this after adjusting the charge time setting to start at 10 pm. I am interested to know whether the battery charge is affected by our driving habits, indicating a potential learning problem. Alternatively, a different option altogether. Any updates or comments on comparable occurrences would be much appreciated.

The indicator light for the glow plug remains illuminated.

Do not waste time, just purchase a motherboard component and replace the controller. This will resolve the issue, provided that you have not replaced the glow plugs with cheap Chinese components. -
Washing - soap leaking into engine compartment
markjay replied to CyberMage's topic in General Car Chat
When I wash my car thoroughly using a foam cannon, similar to a touchless car wash, I place a few old towels around the borders of the engine cover. If you don't focus on it, nothing actually seeps through. -
Washing - soap leaking into engine compartment
markjay replied to CyberMage's topic in General Car Chat
I use one of these items with purified water and mild soap. Using a little spray, clean the object with an air compressor to restore it to its original condition. -
Rattling sounds from suspension on the G30
markjay replied to NevoBMW320i's topic in General Car Chat
A versatile sound. Verify the timestamp of this thread. Maybe assistance. -
The A124 Sportline Front Lower Control Arm (LCA)

still have relevance and potential interest. -
I have successfully resolved the issue by also disconnecting the Remote Cable prior to connecting it to the ACC+ terminal. After performing the soldering process, I have successfully achieved optimal audio quality in the music output. In the case of android radios, although the colors of the wires may vary, the physical placement of the cables remains consistent. The pink cable, maybe associated with remote functionality, was severed and afterwards joined to the red wire, which is often linked to the accessory power source (acc+).

I have located the amplifier situated under the passenger seat. An attempt was made to connect the Blue/blk (Remote) wire from the Bose Harness to the Orange (12V ACC) wire from the Head Unit Harness, but, no audio output was achieved. Are they the accurate ones? Prior to soldering any components, I attempted to establish a direct connection with the plug for testing purposes. However, it is possible that the connection was not adequately established.

Thank you for providing responses to all the inquiries. It seems that there may be a discrepancy, since the Bose Amplifier Harness seen in the image does not seem to be located behind the radio. Where is the location in question? Furthermore, the radio in its original state lacks a 26-pin connector for the amplifier. I own the authentic Bose subwoofer located inside the spare tire compartment in the trunk, as evidenced by the Bose branding on the respective boxes. Additionally, it is worth noting that I have a DVD navigation system, which I afterwards uninstalled. Does this alteration have any impact? This is the radio that I have purchased. This section depicts the posterior aspect of the recently developed radio device.

Greetings, individuals! To enhance the functionality of my Mazda6 GY1 2007, I made the decision to get an Android Radio. Naturally, I inquired with the vendor on the compatibility of the product with the Bose System, to which they affirmatively responded. The installation process proceeded well, without encountering any issues, and subsequent to the installation, all functions, including the automated temperature control, steering wheel, and top display, continued to function properly. The one issue I encounter is to the absence of audio. Upon conducting extensive research, I have come across several discussions on Mazda Forums, as well as other relevant sources, that address a common issue. Based on my understanding, it seems that the root cause of this difficulty lies in the fact that the Bose Amplifier requires a separate Power Signal in order to function properly. Unfortunately, it seems that the radios often used in these scenarios do not provide this specific power signal. It is recommended to establish a connection between the amplifier control and the ACC power, an action that I have attempted. I have come across a pinout diagram depicting the configuration of the audio/radio connection. Based on my understanding, the relevant pins are 10 and 18. The first item listed is a remote control with a power output of 10 amps. The second item is an accessory power supply with an output of 18 amps. I attempted to establish a connection between the two entities by means of a bridge, but unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful.Prior to engaging in wire cutting and soldering, I want to experiment with a temporary and uncomplicated resolution. My current inquiry is to the accuracy of the aforementioned pair of pins. Have I overlooked any relevant information? For those that successfully established a connection, what method did you use to interconnect the cables? We express our gratitude in advance.

I would want to express my gratitude to all those who have provided assistance. I will provide updates on the progress and outcomes of the situation.

A potential solution is a mixture consisting of 70% alcohol and 30% water, which might be dispensed using a spray bottle with a finer misting mechanism. The proposed course of action and the introduction of the new filter seem to be promising. Thank you for your response.

According to online sources, it has been suggested that replacing the cabin air filter may potentially provide positive results. Approximately 1500 miles ago, I replaced my vehicle's [specific item] for a cost of approximately $25, procured from a nearby automotive parts retailer. A straightforward solution would be to address the issue, given that it was unclean. I shall attempt to engage in that endeavor. What is the efficacy of using Lysol spray inside the recirculating air intake system, while operating the air conditioning unit at maximum capacity on the recirculate setting for a brief duration? Could that perhaps be beneficial? Additionally, is it necessary to spray all vents? Alternatively, would it be advisable to purchase a designated cleaning product?
