Hey all,
Had this car for a couple months now and had the opportunity to use power mode a few times.
I personally love it, the suspension and control of the car is great and I do see a great difference. Its actually really fun to use as I drive through a lot of winding roads.
I just wanted to post here to see how other people’s experiences are with it?
Hi everyone! So a few weeks ago I asked a question here similar to this. I’ve brought it up to the dealership and they said everything is fine. Lately, when I go to start my car, my brake pedal is hardly able to push down. When I tried to start it a few days ago, I got this message. Sometimes I’m able to depress it fine and sometimes it’s hard as a rock. The last post I made I was told that I need to practice turning my car on lol. I appreciate the jokes but it’s starting to get a bit frustrating having to force my pedal down to start. I’ve also noticed a squeaking sound when the pedal lifts up.
- I don’t press down on the brake pedal unless I am starting my car. Not before I start my car and not after I turn it off so I don’t see why it would be losing vacuum
-I double check to make sure my car is in park before I turn it off
I’m wondering if I should bring this to the dealership again? Last time they checked it I looked like an idiot because they said it started fine. But the pedal isn’t stiff each time
I recently connected my dashcam to our new Mazda CX-50 using the ODB connector and ran into problems.
The 12v socket (cigarette lighter) in the dash does not stay powered on when the car is off. This means my dashcam won’t record if someone hits me while parked.
I bought an ODB - USB plug for the car. It didn’t fit into the ODB connector because of the trim. I bought a 6” ODB extension and I was able to plug it in and it worked.
BUT the car was dead the next time we went to use it. Had it jumped and it happened again.
We took the car to Mazda and they said the problem is the ODB plug. They said the ODB plug was sending signals to the car causing it to keep the electrical systems active and that was draining the battery.
The tech at Mazda said that our car, and many new cars come with a battery that is adequate. He noted that we aren’t the first people to have this problem. His solution: replace our new battery (valued at $300) with a higher capacity battery that was around $400-450.00. We didn’t do that.
I took the ODB plug out and googled the pin specs for ODB port power.
Using a pair of small needle nose pliers I pulled out pins that transmit data to the car. See photo.
I left the two end pins on the top and bottom and the two center pins on the top row. For the geeks, I left pins 1, 4, 5, 8 on top and pins 9 and 16 on the bottom.
I’ve had it in the car for several days and have not had any problems.
When we are going to be gone for a long time we can flip a switch near the dashcam to turn it off and on without going under the dash to the orb port.
Your favorite online store sells the ODB plug, ODB extension and (in my photo) a USB-C to USB-C switch.
Hey guys, I just had a moment in very heavy Florida rain this week where the visibility was only about 10 feet during daytime and my CX50 sensors were disabled for poor visibility. It didn’t affect the drive at all, but I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if there was any device or cover I can buy to help avoid this issue in the future?
