    If you have an Aftermarket Remote start/Alarm I've got a question

    I installed a compustar alarm + starter in mine this week. I didnt even bother with the parking lights. The BCM controls everything as needed without the compustar unit needing to think its in control. The lights flash when locking and unlocking, and obviously run if the car is running. A...

    Sub / Speaker Install

    Risky sacrifice to save 1-2 cubic feet of removable storage space. but to each their own, it looks good and clean. Is there even enough room in that area to get the proper box volume?

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    The red is definitely not something i'd ever choose, but I do really like the way the tail lights compliment the color

    Mounting location of amplifier

    I ran the wiring along the door sill actually. I just used the existing holes in the carpet there to have them cleanly exit from underneath so I didnt have to cut up the carpet further. I did drill a couple pass through holes in the metal support under the seat, but it leave the install...

    2014 Mazds CX-5 sill suff plates

    To add to this, I also to sill plates for the trunk from china (I want to say $60), and they are very cheap. One I've had to refasten already. Looking back, the sticker style would have been a better decision for the bumper/trunk.

    2014 Mazds CX-5 sill suff plates

    Mine were $30-40 from china, cant remember exactly how much. They're aluminum, so no rust, and are shockingly more durable than I expected. Ive stomped on them accidentally a few times and it didnt even dent. I wired the lights run to off dome lighting inside the car, so theyre completely...

    To WeatherTech or Not To WeatherTech?

    honestly, my weathertech mats have been the best investment Ive made in any car Ive had outside of stereo related upgrades.

    Rear Camera not in Reverse

    if you want it so you can monitor things youre towing, you could run a 12v wire to the reverse gear input on the deck and set up a switch. Activate the switch and it will thing the car is in reverse and turn on the camera. Set up a diode of course so the 12v supply doesnt head back down the...

    Remote start door shutoff bypass?

    just ground the dome light input wire rather than connect it to the dome light. It's obviously a safety feature and I wouldn't really suggest bypassing it, but I dont see why that wouldnt work.

    Mounting location of amplifier

    Ive got 3 amps in mine, and a capacitor. I managed to hide all of this under the front seats. I dont have a shot of the passenger side, but this is the drivers side. A lot of people put them in the spare tire wheel well, but I didn't want to run the risk of being stuck without a spare tire. I...
