05 owners-can you see windshield washer level?
I noticed in the new DVD that the windshield washer container is white plastic. Can you see the fluid level thru the white plastic? If so then in means Mazda does listen to owners.

I'm not sure that was an 05 in the clip. It has 12k miles?

Did anyone else notice the extra wires going to the MAF sensor?

I wonder if it is a "test bed" car and have extra circuits to change the MAF inputs to the PCM?

You'll see it in 4-5 days..

Mazda mailed them to owners who bought new. I don't know if Canada gets them. If not maybe someone here will send you theirs. I'm keeping mine since I keep everything.

Actually, it turns out that I don't!!!! Hahaha, I just checked, I thought I had one but I must have been thinking of my Ford. Someone must get one, it's in the book....maybe only JDM?

my '05 does not have a clear washer fluid tank. However, my '05 also didn't come with the "SAT" button-equipped head unit. So I guess I got an early '05.

YES, what the heck is that...it looks ugly...like an afterthought, mod, etc???? The wires are kind of lose or look messy. Do the 04's not have that????

I think I'm going to organize them or something...

My washer fluid container cap has a plastic dipstick attached to it. But it is a pain to judge the fluid level when filling up.

Hmmm, now I'm wondering if I have one. I thought that was a great feature because I hate suddenly running out of washer fluid. I read in the owners manual about the washer light and thought, great feature. I have all the packages and options you can get on 04. I'd be really bummed out if I find out I don't have this. Its a little feature but its a classy one.
