Re: Fitment Guide for CX-3 Auto Folding Mirror Kit C850-V7-650A

Thanks very much for the advice, much appreciated. I will have a play with the keyfob regarding double locking, the car has keyless entry and start. With respect, in no way would I ever contemplate using scotchlock connectors, hateful things. They cause hotspots in cables and poor connections that a...

Re: Fitment Guide for CX-3 Auto Folding Mirror Kit C850-V7-650A

Has anybody done this and have any advice? I just received the kit and thumbed through the relative section for the CX-3 and it all seems straightforward, the only ambiguous part is a wire placement into a connector depending upon if the car is "option 1: with double locking system" or &qu...

Re: Mobile Phone Mount

Another vote for the Brodit Proclip, item number 655114 for the Mazda 2 and CX-3 2015-2019. I just fitted one to the dash in the wifes CX-3 this afternoon, it took two minutes and I also added a self-adhesive YOSH magnetic holder so she can pop her Samsung onto it and connect her charging lead. All ...

Re: Hi everybody

Thanks for the welcome and apologies for not updating my profile (now sorted). The car is a late 2016 model so has manual power folding mirrors, I will buy and fit an auto fold kit myself. I previously fitted one to my wifes Qashqai so not afraid of the work involved provided the instructions are en...

Hi everybody

My wife now drives a CX-3 2.0 Petrol Sport Nav (manual) after much deliberating and test driving. She sold her old dependable Qashqai+2 dCi now the kids have grown up and moved out, preferring a smaller SUV. She absolutely loves it. We decided to buy a used low-miler and purchase outright and got a ...
