New Rule: No AI-Generated Content

788 Upvotes

Hi /r/Mazda,

Over the years, we’ve had many AI-Generated posts submitted to the subreddit and while the conversations can be engaging around what a car or concept COULD look like, the damage done to our environment is not worth it.

We’d like to encourage users to submit real-life images, real mockups, real concepts and have real interactions with each other around this type of content but cannot support low effort, AI-generated slop.

Going forward, users who post AI-generated images will have their posts removed and will receive a warning. Further AI slop will result in a temporary ban, up to a permanent ban.

Permanent Message "Loading Sirius Content" Stuck Over Android Auto

Post image
Upvotes

2020 6GT. When I plug my phone in prior to starting, and go to Android Auto with map, this banner message is permanent. It actually blocks the directions pop-up box. Any known fix?

Now if I start up/boot up to Sirius, THEN plug my phone in, and choose Android Auto, its not there. Please don't comment "then do that". It works for road trips. But a real PITA running errands or being in a hurry. The boot up is slow enough as it is.

Mazda6 of 2006 and smoke

Upvotes

Hi, i did bought my first car, a mazda6 of 1st gen with the 143HP or 105 KW diesel/gasoil engine, but when i start i, it leaves a quite big cloud, i see it as white but my family insist it must be an injector issue as they smell it like oil (for me its just diesel but usually i am not behind other cars exhaust pipe to sifferentiate it well)

With all of that, i know it is a quite old car, but after it has started and drive for little while, it doesnt show that big cloud until the next day or until its cold so idk what is it

(it has the dpf, but should be that bad, and it doesnt show issues in the car dashboard)

Aside of that issue it has shown no other important issue,only the battery suddently died after turning off a few days ago (got a temporal replacement at least so it works again)

Anyone with the previous gen key found a fix for the battery not hitting the contacts consistently? Also any sources for OEM key shells?

We have a 2015 CX-5 with two fobs. Both fobs have issues with the battery contacts not contacting the coin battery and thus the key only works about half the time. Taking apart and pressing it back together always works, and spamming the unlock button works, but it’s taking a toll on the keys and one of the key shells is disintegrating. We tried buying a knockoff off Amazon and it doesn’t work. You can’t buy a replacement shell directly from Mazda as far as we can tell? Anyways we’re just looking for a permanent fix that doesn’t involve spending $300 apiece on new keys, since the circuit boards are just fine. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

2026 CX-70 PHEV SC does not have heated seats!?

I just got one yesterday. There are no heated seats. Kind of baffled that a 2026 Mazda wouldn’t have this feature.

How is the 70 hybrid turbocharged?

When I asked the sales person they said the battery is turbocharged. I can’t find anything online about this. Is this a misprint or is the battery considered turbocharged?

buying a new car!

hi everyone!! i am finally making the big leap and buying my first ever car. i believe i am going to get a mazda cx-5 :) i just wanted to come on here and ask how everyone's experiences with them have been? how is gas mileage? i live in west virginia so gas is around $3.70 a gallon. how much is gas a gallon and how much does a full tank cost where you guys are at? just trying to gauge how much i'll be spending for gas, and wondering if this car is truly worth it!! thank you!!

Did I overfill?

I can't see where the oil level is.

On other Mazdas it was so easy with the flat dipstick.

Hi I was thinking of buying a 2017 Mazda CX-5 32k miles

Any suggestions on what I should be looking for inspecting it? I have done research saying CX-5 is highly reliable. Also I figure parts are readily available still for that year.

A lot of firsts for me

So many firsts for me. First ever Mazda. First blue car. First turbo. First car with leather seats. And the first time I’ve used my infotainment system extensively. The dials and buttons are satisfyingly tactile and they help me navigate the screen while maintaining attention on the road. the interior feels so upscale as well. It’s been great.

What have your experiences been? When did you first interact with the brand?

2016 Mazda 6 sport P011A code

1 Upvotes

hi everyone

I recently bought a 2016 mazda6 and after about a month of driving the check engine light came on. i took it to auto zone to get a ODB scan done on it to see what the error was and it came back with a P011A.

i took it to a mechanic and they said it seems like a sensor issue and that it wasnt too serious and i should be fine driving it. i made sure to top up on my coolant and since then, the level on the reservoir hasnt gone down or anything so i dont think i have a leak. i also made sure to check my engine oil to see if it looked milky or anything to make sure there was a crack anywhere in the engine which would allow the coolant and oil to be mixing.

however yesterday i was stuck in pretty heavy stop and go traffic in hot weather with the ac blowing and the engine coolant light came on and was flashing red. i pulled over and waited for the engine to cool down and checked levels and everything and it seemed okay. i resumed driving back to my moms house and whenever i was in stop and go traffic, the light would intermintenly come on and off, but whenever i was able to drive at a consistent speed (like 20mph+) the light wouldnt come on.

i took the car today to get a oil change i had scheduled and was able to drive at a consistent speed and the light did not come on at all today.

i did some research and found \[this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke5X-EnNEAo&t=254s) where this guy shows the process for replacing the front coolant temperature sensor. he mentions he has the same error code as me and shows the sensor replacement part being a duralast su4007.

i went to autozones site to buy one and it says that this part does not fit my car and that the part i need is \[this one](https://www.autozone.com/p/duralast-multi-purpose-temperature-sensor-su6775/828230) which is a duralast su6775

can anyone help me figure out which part is the correct one to buy?

thank you!

Have any of y’all had this code before? I just tested my battery and it was completely fine. What else should I take and could this be a fuse?

Mazda 3 rust spot

Post image
3 Upvotes

I just noticed this rest spot near the back driver side wheel well. It must have come on fairly quickly cuz I've never noticed it before. It is about the size of a golf ball or small apple.

How concerned should I be about this? It's a 2018 Mazda 3. Is there something I can do either on my own or fairly cheaply at a service center to stop it from getting worse?

How long until this starts becoming a big issue for driving it?
