Main Question: Has Mazda changed the CAF location on their newer vehicles?
The reason that I ask is:
My daughter owned a 2006 Mazda3i and I never changed the CAF in her 9 years('09-'18) of ownership just because it was about a 4 hour job to remove so many parts behind the center console behind the radio & HVAC area. Now, would it have taken me 4 hours to to the job? IDK! I just didn't do it even after watching YouTube videos. Most vehicles that I've owned, the CAF was in the glove box and took 3 minutes. Or in my current Altima which is behind the console and only takes me about 10+ minutes.
So, back to the original question. Did Mazda change their location for easier maintenance of the CAF?
