hey rip, out of curiosity do you know how far you'd driven with the gas light on? Last weekend I thought I was pushing it, having gone 60 miles with the light on and 15 miles after "range = 0", but I still only filled up 12.9 gallons and the tank on mine (Sport FWD) supposedly holds 14.8. When...

I'd noticed this too. I take a 2 hour road trip my central VA to DC area once every few months. On the same routes, with the same number of passengers (2 people and 2 dogs), traveling at essentially the same average speeds (10 over), my mpg was nearly 35 in summer. On the two trips I've made in...

None, my wife thinks it runs out of gas immediately if the light even turns on... But on our last road trip this weekend, range said 25 miles left and I filled up 11.7 gallons. The fuel tank is 14.8, so even if you get just 25 mpg, that's approximately 50 miles beyond the range indicator hitting...

Thanks for sharing the pics xsproutx That looks really nice. I'd been waiting to see it before I bought the exact same unit. Maybe as a gift "to my wife" for her birthday in a couple weeks. ;-)

MSRPs have definitely increased, at least for the base Sport MT. Went up $300 from 20695 to 20995.

Which 8" speakers did you get? I've seen the triaxials online but never found them around where I am to listen in person.

Nice Hollis thanks for sharing the awesome writeup. How does the component setup sound with the tweeters and speakers separated that far?

I attached a more zoomed out photo so you can see where I'm looking. This is passenger side under the dash. There's a plastic shield (outlined in yellow) that they put there to try to cover it up, but as you can see in the first photo, it doesn't cover them up at the back end where they run...

Dangerously hot pipes in cabin. Beware! I was driving my buddy around today (first time I actually had a passenger in the CX-5). He's a tall fellow (6ft something), and was stretching out since we were on an extended cruise, when he recoiled rapidly and yelled at me that my car had shocked him...

Hi sixspeed just got my CX-5 and I'm interested in putting the same avh-8400 head unit in. It looks like there's a custom frame around the head unit is that right? Is the stock head unit a little larger than standard double DIN? Any other complaints about putting this unit in? Thanks for the info.
