Where is the Block Heater cable and plug? by hazel1

In a not very well lit, unheated garage, at a minus temperature I don't want to think about - I was totally unable to find the cable and plug for the block heater. Could some other kind owner in a northern latitude give me a hint where to look? I couldn't find any reference in the owner's manual. Many thanks!

Did you order the option??? The block heater is installed as a dealer option on the 5. Honestly I don't think they're worth the effort! I've never plugged in the block heater in 15 years of car ownership, and never missed it!
 
Oh and I'm in Toronto where it does get vold in winter.

I don't live so far north and I've never used an engine block heater, but what happens to the engine when it sits outside all day when you're at work? It seems like 8 hours outside is worse that 8 hours at night in an unheated garage, so why would you need an engine block heater when you can't use it outside of your house? Or does it get THAT much colder at night?? Just curious.

Well I park indoors at work, but outside parking lots often have plug-ins too. There's usually only a few days each winter where you would need to plug in during the day, but yes, it does often get much colder overnight.

Here it does get to -40 sometimes, so definitely needed! I called the dealer the next day to confirm it had been installed. The service dept said "Yes, but we can't tell you where to find it, you'll have to come in and we'll take a look". So I called the sales dept, and the receptionist explained how to find it!

You need to visit other places in Canada. They are all over northern Ontario. Common sight in Edmonton.

Remote car starter by reztie

Can anyone give me some advice on which remote car starter to install in my mazda 5? The dealer talked me out of it when I bought the car last year, and now mazda says it will only give a 1 year warranty on the part. I called another place that puts in non-mazda (audiovox) car starters. They offer a lifetime warranty and the price is better (between $50 -$100 less). However, they were not sure how complicated it will be to get around the mazda wiring/alarm system. They said my original keyless remote may not work while the car starter is running. I am also worried about any possible damage to my car which will affect my car warranty in any way. (I already have trouble with my keyless entry remote and door locks not always working and I don't want Mazda to say it has to do with an aftermarket car starter).
If you have a Mazda car starter, how good is the range? Does it have an off button?
Thanks.
