If you opt for the Sirius option, be sure you don't get ripped off. Here's my story: I just bought a brand new Mazda 3. I wanted the dealer to throw in the Sirius radio, which they price at $400. He refused so we agreed to go halfsies. Now this is already too much if you ask me because I can...

The manual says very explicitly that when the AC automatically comes on, the AC light will NOT come on, so we the users will never know that the AC is on, unless we listen for the louder engine noise that results. Bugger, Bry

Thanks for the link to the great post. Since i'm sure the logic board is a little different for the 3 i'll probably skip doing it myself. I have to take my car back to the dealer to get the Sirius radio installed so I'll ask them if they can do it while it's there. Here's hoping, Bry

That was the same accident indeed. The bus crashed just minutes before I came upon the scene. I will probably be buying a new Mazda3, but I will see what the dealership has available in used stock. Bry

Hey there, I thought you all would be curious to hear about this. Up until Tuesday I was the happy owner of a Progege5. That was until the black ice. While I managed to avoid crashing into a fully loaded school bus, I was unable to keep my car in one piece. Although the accident was severe I...

Does anyone know if the head unit connectors on the Protege is the same as the RX8? A guy is working on making an adaptor for aux in. You can read the thread here: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?threadid=17396&perpage=15&pagenumber=1

Hello all, this is my first post here, so be gentle. I have a 2002 Protege 5 and would like to hook up my iPod using a line in as opposed to an FM modulator. I have the stock head unit. I looked inside today and saw that there was an addition spot on the back to plug an extra unit in (i'm...
