Let’s hear your top picks for must-have accessories for your Mazda. What do you use the most or can’t live without?

Definitely PPF, especially if you have the Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint. Trust me, it’s a lifesaver.

PPF is great but can get pricey. If you’re not too worried about a few chips, it might not be worth it. But yeah, Mazda paint, especially Soul Red, tends to chip pretty easily. My solution is just not stressing over every little mark!

I have the same color, and yep, the paint chips way too easily. It’s frustrating!

A good dashcam is a must.

Looking for recommendations too. Also curious about the best power setup for it. Anyone have suggestions?

Some people recommend the Dongar adapter if your car has a backlit rearview mirror. I didn’t know about it and went with an OBD-II to USB-C power adapter instead. It works fine for me!

Drop stops for the gap between the seat and center console. Saves so much time digging for fallen stuff.

Deep mats are a must, either Mazda’s own or WeatherTech.

I got some 3W mats, and they’ve been great so far!

I’m loving my remote start setup with Start-X.

Is that an accessory for remote start? Where can I find it?

Yeah, it’s on Amazon. Just search for Start-X.

I’m not a fan of Start-X because it uses the factory key fob, and the range on those is terrible. Go with Compustar or Viper instead.

I get about 150 feet with mine, and that works fine for me.

I’m lucky if I get 30 feet out of mine. And no, it’s not the battery.

I actually prefer using the factory fob. To each their own!

Rubber floor mats are essential, especially during bad weather.

We’ve got a pair of fluffy dice hanging from the rearview mirror in our 2020 Mazda 3. It’s fun and retro!
