AutoExe OPTIONS is a tuning part.
Please note that the character is different from the genuine parts.
■ What is AutoExe OPTIONS?
AutoExe OPTIONS strictly adheres to the safety standard compliant design corresponding to vehicle inspection.It is a tuning part that does not deviate from the purpose of use as a street.Another major feature is that it can be purchased and installed at many Mazda dealers.However, since it is a tuning part, its character is different from the genuine optional parts.When purchasing or installing, please consider the following carefully.
■ Differences in quality and reliability from genuine parts
Tuning parts such as AutoExe OPTIONS are called "after-parts = retrofit parts" to distinguish them from genuine parts of automobile manufacturers, and are generally considered to be inferior in quality and reliability.People with a lot of tuning experience are convinced that it is "self-responsibility" and do some things on their own, but it is natural that beginners are more anxious.
Therefore, we have summarized the differences in quality and reliability between "after-parts" and "genuine parts" of automobile manufacturers.First of all, there is certainly a difference.This is because there are limits due to the length of the development period and the difference in the target performance level.
If you want 100% peace of mind, we recommend that you do not change the genuine specifications.
・ Impact of differences in development period
<Genuine parts>
It generally takes 3 to 4 years or more to develop a new car for an automobile manufacturer, and confirms the performance from all directions such as bench test and actual driving test.High reliability is guaranteed by taking a long development period.
<After parts>
Product development of after-parts is expected to be completed within a few months after the launch of the new car and to be launched immediately.Therefore, the development period is shorter than that of genuine parts, and there is a difference in reliability.
・ Effects due to differences in required performance
<Genuine parts>
Since it is a part of a mass-produced vehicle, durability and reliability are prioritized so that it does not cause any inconvenience even if it is used by an unspecified number of users in various ways without forcibly pursuing high performance.As a result, there are almost no problems with general usage.
<After parts>
Since the parts are replaced, it is necessary to meet the performance level required by the user.As a result, many products are designed differently from the product standards of genuine parts, so there is less room for space and strength, and depending on the individual differences of the vehicle and the way of driving, it may lead to defects.In addition, we have confirmed that there are no problems with mounting parts for safety equipment such as automatic brake control and active bonnet mechanism, but it may not operate properly depending on the driving conditions, and its operation is guaranteed. Not.
・ Effects of individual vehicle differences
<Genuine parts>
Since a certain amount of secular variation is included when designing a new vehicle, there is almost no effect on wearability even if there are individual differences in the vehicle depending on the usage conditions.
<After parts>
Since it is designed to prioritize performance, it is not compatible with individual differences in the vehicle to be installed, and there may be problems with installability and reliability, even when other tuning parts are installed.
■ Status of quality and reliability management

・ Warranty period after installation
The warranty period and contents vary depending on the product.AutoExe OPTIONS Warranty Policy.
・ Disclosure of defect information
Unlike the vehicle itself, which can list owner information, it is difficult to keep track of all purchasers when selling parts with various distribution channels.In addition to disclosing defect information on our website and SNS, we have introduced a system that allows individual contact by including a user registration form for important parts.
■ Precautions for installation and maintenance
・ About installation
If there are large individual differences in the vehicle (deformation due to usage conditions or aging), additional machining may be required, so we recommend that you ask a Mazda dealer or a specialized car shop that has installation experience.
Problems caused by mounting mistakes are "self-responsibility".If you want to work on your own as one of the pleasures of tuning, please make a guide in advance whether you can attach and detach the corresponding parts of mass production specifications by yourself. There is no such thing as "easy to install because it is an aftermarket part".Please consider that the difficulty of installation is proportional to the reference work time described in this catalog.
・ About maintenance
In order to maintain the best condition, care beyond mass production specifications is required.Routine visual inspection and cleaning, and retightening of bolts and nuts on the mounting part are essential.Please always pay attention to the condition of your car.
This also has the side effect of deepening communication between people and the car.If you think that is a hassle, I recommend you to keep the mass production status, though it is rude.
