Legality of Installing a Trailer Hitch on a Lease in a Mazda CX-9
MotoGravity replied to heralder's topic in General Car Chat
The hitch is secured by means of bolts that are fastened into nuts that have been welded into the frame. The process of removal is likely to be less complex compared to installation; nonetheless, it is uncertain if a dealer would discern the removal. The process of installing the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) hitch involves the necessary step of cutting the plastic rear bumper cover. It would be difficult to overlook. Furthermore, it is worth noting that in Canada, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hitch is designed to accommodate a 2-inch hitch receiver. I am uncertain about the logistics involved in arranging the shipment of the item to this location, as well as the potential implications it may have on the existing lease agreement. I am inquiring if anybody have knowledge about the intricacies of hitches and Mazda leasing agreements. What are your thoughts on the matter? Thank you for your response. -
I have not organized it; my garage lacks any semblance of order. The recent rainy days have been satisfactory; but, as the temperature rises to around 14 degrees Celsius or when exposed to sunshine, the automobile experiences an increase in heat. The functionality is non-operational. The situation is rather bothersome. Please inform me whether you have resolved the problem, Lee. It is surprising to see the absence of any individuals on this site who have encountered the aforementioned difficulty. In a comparable scenario with my previous vehicle, a Fiat Coupe 20vt LE, I would have received an overwhelming amount of assistance on the FCCUK forum. I hope that someone with relevant experience can provide guidance on resolving the present situation.

Greetings. The functionality of my idrive is limited to cooler temperatures, such as during the early morning and nighttime cooldown periods. On weekends, when I am not required to get up early for work, the iDrive system fails to start due to elevated temperature levels. The device may function at any time of the day when there is a cool ambient temperature. However, when exposed to sunlight, even before the arrival of summer, it experiences a continuous loading process like to a computer reboot. The only visual output I see is the BMW logo followed by an absence of any displayed content, repeating in a cyclic manner. Is anybody able to provide more insight or clarification on this matter? I am confident in asserting that the functionality of the idrive system is influenced by ambient temperature. Specifically, I have seen that the idrive system operates well when the external temperature is cool, even if the engine has been running and is warm. Conversely, when the outside temperature becomes somewhat warm, the idrive system fails to function properly, even if the engine has not been running and is at a low temperature. Thank you for your ideas, please. The vehicle in question is a 2005 widescreen model equipped with a navigation system, namely a 530d e60.

I successfully obtained a video at the present moment. The car was initiated without fuse 26 and driven for a duration of 10 minutes. During a brief stop, the car remained running and fuse 26 was subsequently reinserted. Upon immediate engagement of music playback, it became apparent that the rear speakers located in the parcel shelf emitted a somewhat diminutive sound. Although not significant enough to warrant discontinuation of music, a discernible level of static was audible. After completing another 10-minute drive, I proceed to reduce the volume of the music and then turn off the engine. Following the removal of the key, the dashboard light ceases to illuminate after about 15 seconds. then, I perceive the presence of static noise. In the movie, the act of opening and closing a door is shown, without the use of a key. Subsequently, a dash light illuminates, accompanied by the auditory presence of static. This static is first characterized by a brief, abrupt sound, followed by a prolonged interference that emerges around 15 seconds prior to the film's conclusion. I have written a comprehensive response, but I am unable to provide a video attachment due to limitations with my mobile device. I will publish this and make an effort on my laptop.

When fuse 26 is inserted and the engine is not running, and there are no illuminated indicators on the dashboard, the act of opening the door results in the illumination of the dashboard. Subsequently, the speakers emit a brief static popping sound, followed by another popping sound after a duration of 10 seconds. This phenomenon occurs when the door is opened without inserting a key, resulting in the illumination of the dashboard. I will examine the alarm transmitter to see if it is perhaps a fuse. Thank you for your response.

The incident pertains to the command radio system. To further clarification, there were no complications encountered while initiating the car's ignition. Essentially, I deactivated the engine while the Drive mode was still engaged, and afterwards attempted to reactivate it without disengaging the aforementioned mode. This explains the failure to start the vehicle. The fuse labeled as 26 has been removed from its position, and so far, no issues have been seen, save for the inability to listen to any audio from an Audi device. What course of action do you recommend I pursue next? I am interested in seeking professional assistance at an automotive repair facility, however I anticipate that the associated costs may be substantial. Additionally, I lack the necessary knowledge and expertise to do the repairs alone, further complicating the situation. I want to attempt the reinsertion of the fuse while the engine is in operation, in order to assess any potential alterations in the system's functionality.

Indeed, I did not. Upon attempting to start the vehicle by turning the key, no response was seen. Subsequently, an endeavor was made to remove the key, but encountered an obstruction. Consequently, the decision was made to shift the gear into Neutral, allowing for the vehicle to be manually propelled towards the curb. Following this, the gear was shifted back into Park, resulting in the successful initiation of the vehicle. During this sequence of events, the individual experienced a state of agitation, accompanied with pessimistic thoughts. The subsequent resolution of the issue provided a little sense of relief. Thank you for your response.

After reinstalling both fuses, I proceeded to deactivate and reactivate the engine, only to find that the issue resurfaced. Furthermore, simply the act of opening a door with the key removed from the ignition triggers a static noise emanating from the speakers. By removing fuse 26 located in the engine compartment, I am able to cease the interference, so allowing me to operate the vehicle without any disruptions, but without the functionality of the audio system. I appreciate the guidance provided. I may need to visit Halfords or Kwik Fit in order to get assistance. The user expresses gratitude for the assistance provided.

Thank you for your response. I am uncertain about the first steps for inspecting block and chassis connections. However, based on my speculation, it is plausible that these connections are located below the vehicle. The battery was detached for a duration of 5 minutes, during which the audio and radio fuses were removed. Subsequently, a journey of 60 miles was undertaken without encountering any issues. Upon returning, the fuses were restored, although with a little expectation that the problem would resurface. However, no such issue manifested. Automobiles functioning well as intended. There is a possibility that there exists a loose connection or a similar issue, but, I lack the knowledge or means to conduct a comprehensive investigation into its location or nature. The user expresses gratitude for the assistance provided.

In the afternoon, I just acquired a Mercedes C63 w204 vehicle around one week ago. Today, while driving to the local stores, I noticed the presence of a static sound emanating from the vehicle's speakers. Over time, the volume of the static noise increased and then transformed into irregular and unpredictable auditory disturbances, reminiscent to the interference experienced when placing a mobile phone in close proximity to a speaker during a phone conversation. While I was stationary in traffic, I attempted to turn off the engine. However, I had difficulty in properly disengaging the engine and removing the key. Subsequently, I encountered more complications in restarting the engine. I activated the danger lights, shifted the vehicle into neutral, and proceeded to guide it off the roadway. Through a series of actions, I successfully extracted the key from the ignition and proceeded to restart the vehicle. With haste, I executed a swift turnaround and embarked on a journey homeward, covering a distance of 15 minutes. During my commute back home, I encountered a recurring problem with noise emanating from the vehicle's speakers. This issue persisted even after I completely powered down the car and removed the ignition key. I am quite disappointed since I have only had the automobile for a duration of one week, during which time all aspects seemed to be progressing well. Upon installation of the diagnostic reading device, no error codes were detected. I am now situated inside my vehicle, which remains stationary, and I have observed that the speakers emit intermittent random static noise around every 10 minutes. Has anybody had this problem previously? One possible explanation for the observed problem might be a wiring issue, such as a loose connection or similar malfunction.
