    Zombie Apocalypse Edition...Oh my!

    Looks like CJ Wilson Mazda has been having fun again. Kind of makes me wish I had got the AWD model... not that I'd be out off-roading, but I do like some gravel switch back roads. http://www.zoomzoomnation.com/web/new/Mazda-CX-5-2013-Countryside-IL/5197815/?condition_id=10425

    Samsung Galaxy SIII and CX-5 Bluetooth

    I have had the Galaxy S3 for 2 months now, not one single drop or issue with BT connection. If I hit the BT button on the radio, it switches right over, if i hit call... it calls. Do you guys disable your BT when not in the car, then try and enable it after the car is running? I just leave...

    How to add amp to stock radio (non touch screen)

    I don't think you'll find any amps that would fit behind the dash, nor would you want to it would overheat for sure. And there is no access to that area from the engine bay, the large sheet of metal between the engine bay and the passenger compartment is a firewall. The head unit comes out...

    Amplifier and LOC Installed

    I'm running the Kicker DS600.2 components in all 4 doors currently on the stock head unit, while I'm trying to sort out the wiring harness deal for the LOC. They have the same RMS/Peak rating as the Focal 165, and sound incredibly better than stock. I'm sure I'm under powering them, and need...

    Key FOB settings

    That's a pretty damn smart idea GAXIBM... I've yet to come close to locking my fob in the car but one never knows when it'll happen. Even if someone found the key, they wouldn't be stealing the car too easily, just the goods inside.

    Amplifier and LOC Installed

    Well I have almost all the pieces sitting here, waiting on my speedwire to come in. I went with the LC7i since it adds the bass restore. Have a JL 300/4, 2 sets of Kicker DS600.2 components, all the metra harnesses, amp wiring kit, and a bit fat roll of sound deadening. I still need to figure...

    CX-5 Class III Hitch available

    Just finished install of the Hidden Hitch Class III... I definitely wouldn't push the weigh limits as the metal you're attaching too *is* a frame rail... but not a truck frame rail. Install was done in under an hour. 20 minutes of that was fighting with the muffler hangers, I used bicycle chain...

    hd radio sound quality

    I'd have to say it must be a local broadcast thing. I've had integrated Sirius/XM in 2 Alpine stereos before, and know what you're referring to. I quickly ripped it out for the dock-n-play units that didn't have the issue. However all the HD channels around the Raleigh area sound better than...

    Amplifier and LOC Installed

    How did you go about splicing the speedwire into the factory harness? Did you just cut the lines a few inches off the harness to have room to connect them? I was just going to upgrade my speakers, but after seeing this I am going to opt for a 5 channel amp to get the full use of the speaker...
