    Unknown brand of oil at dealer

    Well, I think if anything goes wrong with the engine, (oil related), they will be responsible for it. Maybe a quick note to Mazda to ask if they know the brand that particular dealership use may help.

    HVAC with Remote Start

    Hi @kone, AC fan will be at the same speed as when you turned off the engine. Same will apply for the temperature setting. The rear defroster will need to be turned on manually when you get in the car, since the heating element is on a timer that activate when you push the switch. [emoji3]

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

Followed the instructions on the manual for the first 1-1.5k to drive it at different speed, not keeping it constant for many miles. Choose a mileage that...

    Time for a new battery?

    I guess that like an old pc that had the 2032 coin battery, to keep the date and time you had to replace it every 3-5 years and could be in a place hard to reach to do that.

    iPod Classic crashes in my car

    As Craigo said, use a different cable and if possible an original Apple. Many new cars are very selective when using generic cables, giving different errors or not recognizing the device.

    damage from 30k oil-change interval?

    Do not worry for a used car. Dealers are out to make money and will lie to your face. The parent of an employee is buying it, we have people asking for it, they are all lies trying to make you act fast. I am sure you can get some 17 models AWD a good price, or some 16.5 that sometimes show up as...
