CarPlay for Mazda is finally out.

 

Anyone knows whether Mazda 6 owners would get free firmware upgrade?

 

When I booked my Mazda6 2018 Exec, I asked my SE if he knows if the car comes with Carplay or is upgradable at a cost... he says no, and don't know when it will be available.

 

My guess that it's coming very soon to the new shipment of Mz6, but for now they just want to keep quiet and clear the old stock first.

That does sound like their usual tactic Edited by Mazda6r

Saw a new 2018 mazda 6 today. Looks sleek i must say. Does the 2.5L luxury exterior looks different from the 2L ones other than the sun roof option?

Same except 19 inch rims and sunroof I think. Same for both 2017 & 2018.

the biggest difference is the 2.5L vs 2L engine ... the driving feel is different

this one is either a Must Have or Nice to Have for specific buyers

others are just nice to have

That's true. Once u try the 2.5L the 2.0L will feel different. Especially if tested back to back.

 

But besides the higher price, there is higher running cost due to road tax.

Yep definitely can feel the difference if driven back to back. The interior is largely the same, you get nappa leather and a bigger interior difference o ly if you go up the next tier after luxury, which is another few k top up

Just curious if you test drove 2.5L or owner? When I was at LK, only 2L was available for test drive

Yes you are right, nappa is available for luxury and above. I went for the premium mainly for the engine, my butt can't tell the difference between normal and napa leather

Thinkware F800 pro. Much sharper than the blaupunkt that came with the car.

According to SE, change in-car camera will void ignition system 3 yr warranty.

Would Mazda sell me an always-ON camera? NO.

Anyone able to get a written confirmation from AD since we're getting different information?

Its the voiding of battery, since parking mode taps to your battery and might cause it to kick the bucket earlier than its indicated shelf life.

 

Anyway you can change the battery outside for less than $200. Why take the risk not capturing any hit-and-run (if it happens) and bear the repair cost just to save the $200 battery?

Anyway, haven't seen many Mazda 3 or 6 with offwhite/white interior. Personally I like the white interior because it looks more conti feel and the color makes the interior looks bigger.

 

Is it because it turns yellowish easily? Or it's hard to maintain? I would think with some leather care products it should be ok?
