    Adding Bluetooth?

    Like Mike did, I also just got an aftermarket adapter. Power plugs into the 12v port, audio plugs into the aux port on my 2014 5 sport. Device works great, I have this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y2D1ZX8/?tag=m20b7-20

    Sucks about the key, I got my roof rack on ebay, for $160 from a seller in Canada. Not sure if it's OEM, but it's labeless, though it looks like the Thule Aeroblade.

    ha, well I was raised in NYC, can't vouch for the NJ people, but I'm sure the ex governor here gave you a good impression. ;) Here's another pic with better contrast to tell the difference. https://imgur.com/a/wyBhV

    Added a roof rack to my 2014 M5 Sport, easier to install than I thought. Those mounting points are great! Next step, snowboard carrier. Just about to hit the 75k mark, time for a checkup.

    Sorry for the delay, been hectic around here. So Ive found that my cell camera sucks for taking pictures on glass, lots of reflection etc. Best I can get with my crap camera =)

    Light rain this morning, a difference of night and day between the driver side and passenger side. I'm pretty happy thus far. The downpour is expected on the commute home this afternoon. If I'm parked, I'll grab a picture in action.

    I just replaced my driver side with a Windex high performance blade. So far works pretty sweet. We'll have rain over the next 48 hours, will let you know how it holds up. Got it at KMart.

    Replacing seats - all 3rd gen M5 the same?

    Been scouring salvage yards online to replace the 2nd row seats (one damaged by cigarette fire, other wont fold) I have a 2014 M5 Sport. I've found a ton of 2012 seats, and a few options for 2014. I know that both years are part of the same generation. Are the seats interchangeable? Will a 2012...

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    Just got my new to me 2014 M5 Sport last week. Was replacing my 2009 M5 GT that was totaled when a reckless driver plowed into my passenger front side. =( The previous owner of the 2014 M5 was not kind to it internally, back of 2nd row seat burned, small cigarette burn in 3rd row bench. So...

    Mazda 5 2014 2nd row seat not folding

    No, clean title, it was in a few fender benders, but nothing major otherwise on the carfax. The previous owners must have been animals, and ripped it out or something when trying to open it

    Mazda 5 2014 2nd row seat not folding

    No problem, thank you for verifying. my 2009 mazda5 had both seats fold down, so I couldnt see it not being the same format. I might have to disassemble the seat entirely to get to the lock and make a new strap for the lock. Fun times ahead. =p

    Mazda 5 2014 2nd row seat not folding

    So I've been driving a 2009 Mazda 5 for a few years, great car until someone blew a stop sign and smashed into me, totaling the car. RIP car =( I recently bought a 2014 Mazda 5 Sport. The interior wasn't too well cared for, mostly in the back row, but runs great otherwise (much more zip than the...
