Every CX-50 has i-Activsense — there's no non-ADAS version. Mazda requires calibration after every windshield replacement on this model.
Our recommendation: If you're using insurance, calibrate — it's covered and there's no reason not to. If paying cash, a non-calibrated replacement is a reasonable choice if your system was working perfectly before. If warning lights appear, bring it back and we'll calibrate at cost.
