Thanks for your answer!
The problem is not the connection between OBD reader and smartphone, this functions very well.
When the motor is running, so the lights should be off. But for example the ABS light is on. So i think it must be a problem with the protocol between car and OBD reader.

I would suggest you to connect the OBDLink app with the reader with the ignition ON, engine OFF, and read the "diagnostics" section for any DTC errors related to your findings. It is definitely not normal for dashboard lights to remain ON after the engine starts, so doing the above can be a good starting point.

As for the OBDLink OBDII connection protocol, I have it set on AUTO. This is probably not related to your issue, but it won't hurt to check that your vehicle model is properly selected in the configuration menu and you download the latest enhanced OEM add-os for Mazda vehicles.

Hello!
I bought the OBDLink MX + (the name is really tempting for us, isn't it?).
If I plug it in now and then switch on the ignition or start the engine, I get various error messages, such as the ABS lamp is on.
When I switch off the ignition, pull the plug out again and start again, the error messages are gone again.
In the protocol, I set it to automatically detect. Do you have to set it manually? Or what am I doing wrong?
Handy is Android with OBDLink and / or torque.
I did not find anything here in the forum.

Hi!
I am not quite sure of what you mean or where you get the errors. In the car dashboard, it is normal to have lights ON when you switch on ignition (the engine is not needed). Those lights do not indicate any errors. As for the protocol, I understand that you are talking about the connection between the OBD reader and the device/software that you are using. If this is the case and you are using a bluetooth conection with an android device, normally you do not need to change anything. However, you may have to pair both devices by bluetooth and this can be slightly different depending on the app (some apps do it directly whereas others require you to pair the devices first in the device bluetooth settings). Also, if you are switching between different apps, make sure that one of the apps is not "locking" the use of the bluetooth connection to the device in the background.

This was in my Dec 2019 car, and it was recently changed for a custom model after 3 months of light use: only a little over 2000Km. It is like new. Hydrated once with Meguiar Gold leather conditioner.

I am asking 200 Eur including shipping

Well, at the moment i'am searching for a replacement because my miata is my daily driver. Everything I found was for about 250 €.

OK, you just found something better! I'll contact you in private

Thanks! I really like the GDs, but they're quite expensive. Okay, you can sell you old wheel but I can't imagine you would get more than 200 € out of it.
The DAMD are not really an option since they have to be imported.

Yes, they are expensive. I can only say that they are top quality and as customizable as they can get. IN my case, it is such an important piece.... you are 100% of your time in the car touching it.

As for the resale of the old one, current Mazda price as part is 273,07 + VAT. Getting 200 sounds optimistic, but you never know... maybe 150 is more likely (that is my asking price in a local ad)

Regarding my request:

Maybe it helps one or the other
Does anyone happen to know a supplier other than Guardian Designs who adjust the mold so that the steering wheel has a smaller outer diameter?

Before ordering mine to Guardian Designs I was looking for the same, and I only found another source with models smaller tan OEM: DAMD They have limited models though, only leather and Leather / alcantara and they need to be imported from Japan so the final price with customs can be higher than GD. Sometimes models are available in Amazon (US or JP) and alro through rev9autosport:

https://rev9autosport.com/damd-leather-steering-wheel.html

They are 358 mm in diameter vs 355 for the Guardian Designs (365 for the OEM)

Well, this weekend we have been trying with a friend's 2019 RF. I can confirm that Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) can be activated successfully by editing one byte (B4) in the 706-01-02 chain in the FSC module. The TSR menu appears in the safety settings and the traffic signs appear in the color TFT display in the dash. Both speed signs and pass / no pass etc are shown. Unfortunately this does not work for my ST without the dash TFT. We still have to try the Smart City Brake support....

Yes, the order of the wheels is kept after restart and only changes if you change the position of the tires . Each tire sensor has a different PID and they report to the CMU module as tire 1 to 4. But as Sebastian said, they can be read from the ECU only using a MS-CAN bus.

This is an old thread but I would like to know if someone has attempted to do this retrofitting or there is more information available about it.
Personally, I have been exploring some coding options at the ECU and I have indeed located a string that activates the TSR menu in the MZD. Doing this makes the GPS screen to stop showing the traffic signs on speed limits and presumably could show them in the left screen. However, because my car does not have the color left screen (it is s ST), I do not know if the system indeed works:

In addition to this, there is an option in the ECU (Instrument cluster module) to configure a "Vision Control" (Block BF01) which is "not configured" currently. It is possible to edit this block and configure a PID, but there are 4 types to choose (VMC type 1 to 4). IN order to do some more exploration on the real options to do this retrofit, I think that it would be needed to know the configurations of these modules in cars with and without the i-activsense, and with and without the color left screen. All that is needed is Forscan and a compatible OBD reader, so if someone is curious about this it would be great to share the advances
