Anyone have a list of all the personalization options there are? I found a note about the autolock function in the PDF owners manual but I don't really want to go through all 354 pages to find all the rest individually. I would really like to know the other options before heading into the stealership to get this done, along with some other basic maintinance.

If I unlock my door and don't get in within about 30 seconds it locks again. I assumed it was normal. Is this the autolock feature? I can see where it may be useful but for the most part I find it annoying.

They're at the back somewhere. I'll see if I can find the checklist some dealerships hand out.

The image is kind of small, but if you zoom in, it is readable.

No, if I remember right the auto lock feature is for tech package and it locks the car if you walk away with the key fob without having to hit any buttons. The car re locking itself if you don't open it fast enough is just a normal feature of both generations and every trim level.

I think I have a higher Res one. But yeah, that's what I was gonna post.

I'm at the dealer now getting my inspection done and having them do the personalization options. The service writer didn't know what they were and neither did the tech he called in. He did seem very eager to learn them though. He made copies of the owners manual, highlighted what I wanted, wrote a note when I told him they have to enter the info manually, and then said he is going to look at the manual for his 13 mz3. Hopefully they get it it and they don't charge me. I bought the car here in October new so I should get this one free.

little kick under the butt for this topic:

I haven't read anything about these options for the gen1 MS3 (like mine from 2007)

Does anybody know if there is anything that can be done via a skilled dealer on gen1 car?

Because my local dealer is just as smart a piece of brick, so I doubt he will give me solid advice :)

dagrimey1 09-03-2014 04:50 AM

There are some options for the Gen 1 and Speed 6. You will have to search around as to what they all are. I know you can do the auto lock once fob leaves the vehicle. One click unlock all doors.

iggypop 08-29-2015 12:30 PM

My salesman never even mentioned any of these personalizations when I bought the car.
I thought the smart signal feature was only on Honda's and VW's.

When I brought in my 2013 speed to get this done today, my sales guy stated he has never heard of this personalization and he also mentioned how he was in Top 5 salesmen in Florida at the time of my purchase...

dagrimey1 08-30-2015 07:46 AM

You are entitled to one programing from the dealer. I would go to a friendly dealer or contact Mazda Corp customer service and request this service as its included with the purchase of a car.

That's what I thought but then I got my car back from and the dealer basically said none of the options are available for my car because I don't have a smart key.

This is part of their invoice pertaining to the personalization.

dagrimey1 08-31-2015 06:16 PM

Incorrect, yes there are somethings that are only related to the smart key. The smart turning signal is not. Look at the index in your manual for Personalization Features. It is near the back it will give you a complete break down. I would go back for the simple fact they turned you away. @Raider; maybe could hook you up with a local dealer with a brain to figure this out.

Raider 08-31-2015 06:28 PM

Sounds like Duval. I know Kristi at Mazda City. Tim is their Mazdaspeed master tech. Hope it was Duval. Because fuck them.

iggypop 08-31-2015 06:46 PM

It was Tom Bush. Very mean people. Never going back again!!
I asked them to do:
Smart turn - activate
Illumination entry ( illuminate automatically when the ignition is switched off) - deactivate
Power door lock - vehicle speed-response auto lock function - deactivate

dagrimey1 08-31-2015 06:52 PM

All can be done without smart key.

Their service has had issues. Same dealer owns Mazda City (and hosts Mazda Meet & Eat) and they did my vvt.

Call Kristi and get set set up.

iggypop 09-01-2015 05:56 PM

Got my car from Mazda City, though.

I called Mazda Customer service yesterday and this is what they got from them today.

Dear Mr. X,

I apologize for getting disconnected earlier. I did check with our technical department and the personalize features you are interested are not available in your model. The Illumination entry and power door lock require a smart key and the Smart Turn requires the technology package. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Thank you again for contacting Mazda.
Sincerely,

Nelly

Had my 2013 MS3 serviced this week (over 1K of repairs, all covered by used card warranty) and they offered to do the personalization options for me. I had ~6 done at no charge. But the one that I wanted most (all doors unlock when hitting the key fob once) didn't stick. They said they tried multiple times. All the others they did worked though. :banana:

iggypop 01-28-2016 10:45 PM

Single press didn't stick for me either. @Raider; Mazda City took care of set for me. Huge thanks!

AwAfrican 03-19-2016 07:18 PM

Didn't even know personalization was an option! I always wandered why the dam thing didn't auto lock for me when I hadn't been in the car for a while...gonna see about getting that turned on, bought the car new over 2 years ago, I wonder if they'll still honor the free one time personalization...I don't even live close to the town I bought it in originally but it's near the parents so I do visit from time to time, the Mazda dealer here is a bit of a dick, no speed techs either.

Is it worth UN marrying my AP when I bring the car in? As I do have warranty left and would like to still be able to stock out if something happens.....car doesn't normally go to the dealer as I have access to a couple of hoists...

That's a good question. If it were me, I would unmarry AP right at the dealership upon arrival.

They shouldn't charge you since you bought it from them. I didn't pay to get mine done.

Alright thanks I'll be in Newmarket this weekend I'll stop by, they should be open atleast Sat,(where I bought it) the Kingston manager at Kingston Mazda is a dick when it comes to any sort of mods at all so I avoid that place

FittedMazda 03-24-2016 09:56 AM

thank you for this! I'll plan to do the Smart Turn tomorrow when I drop my speed 3 off for the dashboard recall.

Nitro 03-24-2016 11:47 PM

FittedMazda what is the dash board recall?
