    Replacing/Painting interior chrome pieces

    Except you can see in this photo that their kits don't include the piece I'm needing - http://www.bitrimdatabase.com/FWDdiagramview1.php?pt=WD1178B&id=1&db=FWD&year=2016&dl=24&make=MAZDA&model=CX-5&mode=wde

    Replacing/Painting interior chrome pieces

    Except I need it for a 2016, which has a different trim piece surround the gearshift. Also, why would I want to buy that kit for $128 when all I need is the one piece?

    Replacing/Painting interior chrome pieces

    I've seen where some people have plasti dipped or painted the vent trim black, but I've searched and I can't find anyone that did the same to the chrome piece around the gearshift. I'm getting blinded by this piece reflecting sunlight daily. I'd also like to do the trim around the center...

    4" driver in dash?

    No, NE25's. They are supposed to be better off axis, so since its reflecting off the windshield, I'm hoping for better performance.

    DEH-80PRS in CX-5

    Great, I've got all that on order. I'll have to return the RP4-MZ11. People had success with the Metra Axxess ASWC-1 so I ordered one of those, which my installer recommended anyway. I actually changed to a AVH-X4800BS instead, it's similar enough to the 80PRS for what I need, and I like the...

    4" driver in dash?

    Thanks guys, I do believe you are correct. I ended up going another direction with some 1" silk dome Vifa tweeters in a 2 way active setup.

    2016 rear speaker adapters

    Does anyone know if there is a Metra or other equivalent available on Amazon rear speaker adapter/bracket? This is all I can find searching the forums. I need them for some CDT CL-6EXs I'm having installed. Thanks. Edit* I just found a post mentioning Metra 82-8145C, but I cannot find...

    4" driver in dash?

    I think the mounting holes would line up if what the tech at CDT told me is correct, but I'd like to see if anyone here has tried getting a 4" coaxial speaker in the dash where a 3.5" should go. The db351s I put in there are pretty mediocre and I'd like to see if I can shoehorn some CDT CL-4EX...

    DEH-80PRS in CX-5

    I have one of these on order I am planning on having installed in my 2016 sport to replace the base stereo (non-touchscreen), and I was wondering if anyone has any experience or insight. I've read the 4000nex install thread and will probably use the ideas there for the bluetooth mic, and I've...

    2016 CX-5 keyless remote programming

    The dealer wants $130 to program a remote purchased off ebay. All the locksmiths I've called have said they are unable to program for the 2016 models at this point. Has anyone had any luck having this done for a reasonable price?

    2016 CX-5 Sport AC strength

    I'm preparing to purchase a used 2016 CX-5 Sport 2.5L. I live in Phoenix, and unfortunately it's not hot right now so I am unable to see for myself how well it works. Can anyone that lives in a similar climate attest to the quality of the AC in this car? Thanks in advance!
