    Why you can't use compass mirror with tech pkg

    There is no reason. I installed the compass mirror on my sport and the only thing the mirror gets from the car is power. It will work if you install it and bring power to it.

    Trying to find the fuse/circuit for night time interior illumination

    It's under the hood. The highest number fuse 56 or 65. Something like that. It also controls the ignition button in the interior. Lose that baby and no car start. Ask me how I know

    Dealership props - above and beyond service!

    Congratulations, I recently had my tires rotated while getting an oil change and had the tpms go off immediately after leaving the dealership. I reset it and it went off again. Very aggravated I went to the gas station and properly pressurized the tires. The sad thing is that I didn't even want...

    Homelink setup in Canada

    I got mine to work. The first thing you need to do is to take your garage door opener and program the mirror to the remote garage door opener you currently use (I really can remember the instructions as I did it last year). That allows the mirror to send out the same patterns as your garage...

    buzz in overhead console

    Try this. Open the sunglasses holder and stuff a bunch of paper in there so that it is hard to shut but does shut. That finally stopped mine from buzzing. I thing the hinges or the hasp on the holder was causing mine.

    How not to nstall your aftermarket back up camera.

    I did it a little different. I ran the wires through the top via the headliner. After I got it through the "Devils Appendix" I simply ran the wires across the top of the headliner and along the top of the doors (by removing the door weather strippings. Then I went down the A pillar to get...

    AC Question

    Guys, If you stop at a light for more than say 30 seconds with the AC running (in recirc. mode and a day >90 deg. F) does you AC still pump cold air or do you see a noticeable drop off in temperature coming out of the ducts. I am just checking because mine tends to drop off and will not get...

    Aftermarket Backup Camera with Mazda OEM Screen

    Do not drill into tailgate. You can mount the camera next to the tailgate handle and run the wires between where the tailgate handle mounts to the body. Just loosen the handle, slip the wires in and retighten the handle

    Phone Mount for Navigation

    Waze is awesome. On a recent trip to the the beach, Waze routed me around a backed up tunnel in Mobile Alabama . Before the tunnel my wife was half an hour ahead of me in another car; after the tunnel I was 15 minutes ahead of her. I also love the fact that you can enter police and wreck...

    Reminder: Don't forget to take care of your black trim!

    Not true, however you are right most of them do leave a residue. I use zaino brothers all in one. You can put that stuff on anything and no residue. I have used just about everything and I always wind up back with zaino.

    Trunk/Cargo Lamp Issue (Socket Voltage Changes with Bulbs?)

    Ok let me see if I can explain. Unlike the dome lights which are controlled by a relay with a hard contact, the cargo light is controlled by a solid state output(possibly a darlington transistor) located in what I believe it is called the RCM. The solid state output sounds like it has failed...

    Black CX-5 Cleaning tips??

    I use Zaino Bros all in one on my black CX-5 http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-AIO It gets the water spots off (never wash a car in the sun or let it air dry) and looks like it is wet when removed after waxing. Another advantage to Zaino is that you...
