    Where to check if your Phone has been tested with Mazda Connect

    After a lot of head scratching and trying to understand why I have issues with connecting my Android Auto on my phone to my Mazda Connect over Bluetooth, I found that it has not been tested and could be incompatible as the OnePlus 6T is running a later Bluetooth stack with newer Bluetooth...

    You know you're tired when...you come out of work and climb into the car. There's something white that won't wash off with the windshield wipers. You look and you think it's got to be some stone chips. Have dinner with the better half and some friends. Come out and he peers at it and...

    La Belle Province Loves Mazda

    Something Very Satisfying With My Wheels

    I just noticed this morning that all of the Mazda M's on my wheels all are aligned to be in exactly the same position as they rotate. It was oddly satisfying and somehow for the briefest moment, the entire universe felt aligned. Then I went to work. (hah)

    Wheel Nut Covers (LugCaps)

    I like the idea of protecting my wheel nuts from oxidation. I have seen various options on Ebay but the colours see a bit garish. This manufacturer seems to have better colours, an extraction tool and has provisions for wheel locks. Has anyone purchased anything like this...

    Lane Asists Said I was Naughty When I Wasn't

    My Lane Assist system claimed I was naughty this morning. It gave me a beep and a warning to keep my hands on the wheel. As I am a 9 'n' 3 driver, my hands were definitely in place. Has anyone else experienced this false positive?

    First Road Trip

    I took Madge for a nice run to see a friend of mine in the Niagara Peninsula (come visit this area, it's great!). I had what I think was the most relaxing and enjoyable ride I've ever had. I have loaded 20 GB of podcasts and happily listened to some on my way. Pure bliss. I am thrilled to...
