2015 Mazda CX3

[danielling1981]

It doesnât work with iPhone hotspot apparently. But I managed to get it to work with a mobile broadband hotspot device.

 

Just did my 30k servicing at the new Tanjong Penjuru Center. Big and spacious!

 

Lots of slots available apparently according to the CSO who called me yesterday to fix the appointment today!

So did you explore what you could do after connecting to the net?

 

Could you also help me out by taking a photo that you have successfully connected?

I'm android doesn't work and since you mention Apple also doesn't work.

And i do not have a dedicated mobile hotspot device to test.

 

I would like to challenge our location distributor to try and fix this.

 

Imagine able to use internet with Mzd for navigation related functions.

I will need to attempt it again. Tried it when it was new and with the free trial of the connected services. You can access the traffic info etc in navigation. Also can play some internet radio, AHa, I think.

Hi, could anyone check if your Mzd Connect settings have option to connect to Wifi or similar?

 

It should be found under Devices > Network Management.

 

And whether it works? I tried and fail to connect to my mobile hotspot.

 

My agent saying is white elephant.

useless, mainly for traffic accessing data for live traffic feed but doesn’t apply for our region.

i pair with iphone no issue

If need to subscribe then pointless. Can just do all that direct on phone or ipad.

That’s why Apple CarPlay would be ideal! Waiting for the retrofitting to arrive!

As long as the price not too steep, else I'll just wait for next upgrade. (Car).

 

I'm alright with using the mzd navigation. Dunno why people hate it.

CP/AA is a better upgrade. No doubt abt it.

I just tried again with my iPhone and it works now! Last time was with iPhone 6+ back in 2016.

oh man, I don't know what to do. I want AWD but I don't like GX trim (no heated seats, plastic wheel covers, etc). I can't afford GS AWD since it's like $30,000. I would go GS FWD on CX-3 but then again no arm-rest (huge red flag for me), everything is very cramped inside. I keep thinking what's the point of getting that mini SUV if I am not getting AWD.

I think AWD for an SUV cannot make it, for a Real SUV you must have 4WD.

Cx 3 is 100 k in this country fyi. :)

 

And no way anyone wants heated seats.

 

Cooling seats is not an option. Why...

 

You could buy the arm rest separately as well.

And there’re no AWD options too Edited November 27, 2018 by UncleLabbit

how is this car generally? kinda tempted due to the 2 litre engine which will give it a responsive drive.

Price-wise (based on current): Reasonable

Performance: Very good

Handling: Very good

In-car gadgets: Average (no CP/AA)

Pls bear in mind that the current CX3 is a small compact SUV so if u r looking for height when driving - it’s really not that high.

However the 156hp/206Nm is a plus for a SUV tis size.

Hope other bros in this thread can share their views too.

It's quite cramped for people taller than 1.75m.

Yes especially in the rear. Averagely tall people will need to fold their legs getting in and out. The door opening is especially small.
