How do I know if the SCBS is fitted to my car? The menu for setting it comes up on my screen. I have ticked the active box and set everything to what I would think would be the most likely settings to activate. However in two years I have seen no hint of it operating. The handbook is not very helpfu...

I had Mazda5 because I needed such a vehicle with wide sliding doors to accommodate my late wife who had suffered a severe stroke. The leather seats were given a once over now and then with some sort of wipes from Halfords. Not sure of the maker but after five years the leather was good as new. May ...

Thanks for that. I wasn't too bothered but wondered if it was a sign of some other problem in the system. My car is a 2017 model, two years from purchase next month. Handbook is 8EY1.

I've had my CX3 for nearly two years but only just got around to trying out the aux key. When I turn it to open the door unlocks but the alarm sounds. this can't be correct surely!! The dash key fob warning light is not on and the indicator on the fob operates as does the fob. Anybody have an idea p...

Thanks I'll try that. You confirm what I thought I understood. I've tried to contact Mazda but no reply yet.

When I bought my CX3 new in October 2017, I'm pretty sure they said it had three years free updates. My daughter has a CX5 and hers has just run out after three years. I tried to update my CX3 due to massive road changes around East Midlands Airport and it tells me my updates have run out. Does anyo...
