Mazda 5 - requesting owners feedback

[Erictl76]

I have done 1k & 5k servicing and only did them at Ubi branch.

Seriously, i really think Mazda servicing cannot cope with the surge in their sale and till today, seems like they still not has no improvement at all... another VW in the making?

Actually, not sure if it works for everyone, but seems like I just take out the SD card, and put it back in again, and it is working again. Can try that?

I tried that previously. It doesn't woek for mine.

Mine GPS module is just above the fuse box... Will try to use a faster speed card, hopefully it works. No issues using the gps for the first 3 month. Error keep popping up last 2 month when " Navigation Software not detected". Could be the GPS module itself . Asking Mazda service center to fix is waste of time. Service is very poor... either they lack of knowledge or just cannot do it.

Wondering if go straight to TLW, will they entertain, since they're the one installing the HU, and I bet they're the one who added this GPS module. 

 

But, copying and re-copying the SD card seems works for me...this is 2nd day update..

Yes. I think you can't just simply copy or even clone the card. Think the software when first installed has coded in the device IDs of both the SD card and the GPS module.

I just copy the SD card NavIQ folder to my PC...then copy it back again to the SD card...when i am prompted that there is the same file already exist at the destination folder, I choose 'Replace all'.

And this work for me....on the 3rd day update....

Once you've registered your device @ http://nav.galactio.com/galactio/sg

You can get the activation license as in the photo:

It's under "Device" -> "Download Update"

I've yet to try the new Ultra SD card (Micro-SD with SD adapter) that I'd bought and copied.

I'll give it a try later today and see if it works & works fine.

I'd written an e-mail to Galactico support abt 1 week ago, but no reply from them yet.

It simply won't work on another SD card, even with the licence file copied over. That's why I suspect during installation, some file has been coded with both the GPS module ID and the original SD card ID it was installed with.

Hi all, may i check if any one of you experience weak braking and long stopping distance?

It seems that i have to step quite a fair bit in order to get the car to stop. 

The brake feel is a bit spongy compared to my previous ride.

Any idea what can i do to increase the brake feel.

TIA.

Yes. I'd tested my copied new SD card, it doesn't work. So sad... :(

What's your mileage now?

[Xman13]

I went to TWL, they change the card, all ok now. The owner told me that is issues on some batch, replacement card will do the trick. Do go early as limited parking space. I was there at 9.30,( just open no space).... no charge for the fix...

With all these problems, Mazda 5 price now drop to 116-117k to entice new buyers?

Price drop is due to COE drop lah.

The car price dropped now to lure more buyer for CNY I think..... :)

What is your old ride? There are various reasons to the stopping distance comparing different cars. Generally, you need to step more on the brake for heavier cars because higher inertia. Cannot compare to sedans or those sports cars etc. I did read somewhere that someone did feel that the Mazda 5 has a much longer stopping distance compared to his sedan, and that was one thing he didn't like.

Same la. 5k experience it. 9k aso experience it. Will tell them on my 10k servicing.

 

Now waiting time for servicing is about 2.5 weeks already. :)

 

Guys after running in, come n share your fuel consumption?

 

Im getting abt 11.3- 11.7km/litre lately be it using 98 or 95

 

How much mileage is considered "running in"? My mileage now is about 1500km, and I had been clocking average of 10.1 km/litre. About 60% city driving.
