    Great online tool for helping visualize window tint % shades etc.

    As is often the case, I've been having a hard time deciding what % window tint to go with for my "new to me" Mazda 5 GT. I found this great online tool to do some comparisons. It lets you change the percentages, plus will also give you a view from the inside out. It isn't perfect (it is only...

    Reprogramming keyless remote/entry fob transmitter - with a twist?

    Ah, well, so loosenut's answer above seems to imply that the generic ebay keys are HIGHLY unlikely to work a they do also require programming, separate and in addition to the keyless entry fob. I didn't think there were any electronics inside the key portion, but it appears there is. Anybody...

    Reprogramming keyless remote/entry fob transmitter - with a twist?

    Hey guys, thanks for the input. I have delved further into it with a dealer and here is the jist of the response: They will attempt the reprogram, if it did not work they would NOT charge for it, which I thought was reasonable. If it did work, then the charge would be C$53.00 + tax would be...

    Reprogramming keyless remote/entry fob transmitter - with a twist?

    Hello: Lots of talk here about keyless entry remote fob programming etc. but I do think I've seen this exact scenario before... I have a 2012 Mazda 5 which I recently purchased used, but I only have one keyless entry remote. I want to use a spare keyless remote fob I have from my old 2008...

    Phantom Hazard Lights/Switch

    I have looked at the fuse block under the hood and none of the relays etc. in there are marked flasher or hazard. There is a 10A fuse under there for the hazards but that checks out fine. The clicking/blinking noise, when the hazards are activated, sounds like its coming from right up under the...

    Phantom Hazard Lights/Switch

    Anyone have any insight into this. The switch is $150+ up here in Canada so not something I'm just going to try out. Does anybody know where the hazard flasher is located on this vehicle. I have seem some talk of it being built into the Body Control Module but not sure if this applies...

    Simple YES or NO question: Does 2012 factory roof rack fit 2008?

    Well, I just heard back from the dealer who says both his Parts Manager and his best tech. confirm the racks *are* interchangeable. Perfect, as this 2012 rack looks much nicer.

    Simple YES or NO question: Does 2012 factory roof rack fit 2008?

    Sadly I can't just try to install it as *if* it doesn't fit I will need to contact my dealer and exchange it. He will not be pleased (even though it is his mistake) if I give him an open box with a half assembled rack in it. I have emailed him and asked him to confirm if this indeed a rack that...

    Simple YES or NO question: Does 2012 factory roof rack fit 2008?

    The roof rack threads are OUTTA CONTROL here, wow! So my simple question is: Does a 2012 rack (CG15-V4-701) fit a 2008 Canadian Spec. GT? Background: Just bought an '08 and managed to sweeten the deal with the dealer throwing in a new factory rack. I just cracked open the box to look at the...

    NESA NSC-250 Roof mounted DVD player remote control and headphones

    Hello: I just got my "new" car (Candian spec. 2008 Mazda5 GT, w/5spd MT) three days ago it has a "dealer installed accessory" roof mounted DVD player by NESA. It doesn't have a model number on it that I can see, but it looks like a NSC-250 with 10.4" screen, although the tech. specs maybe...
