    I finally did it. Double Din

    I think I might paint the knobs for the climate controls black to offset the color a little better. Though I do think it looks good since I added the silver rings around the vents. Gives it a shadow effect.

    Suburban Imports on Grand River in Farmington Hills

    There is a bald buy there with a bad comb over, glasses and a weasely voice, I cant remember his name, but he is a DOUCHE of a salesman. Avoid him. The second you see him you will know who I'm talking about. He was trying to sell me a 2005 3 BARE BONES with 60,000 miles for $13,500. He got...

    Custom 2DIN and new system installed

    Here is mine. Forgot to take a photo of the Hazard installed, but I included a photo of the button before I put it in the car. You can see that I put a USB input where the Airbag light was. Sorry my camera sucks, lol.

    Custom 2DIN and new system installed

    I actually just finished my Double din. I didnt like the look of how the buttons stuck further OUT from where the ash try was before, so my contours IN. Also, I found a Hazard switch from an older mazda that replaced the blank button on the far driver side of the car and reloacted the circuit...

    Cigarette lighter dead - not the fuse

    Many people say, it's not a fuse. Then they find they didnt check the engine bay Fuses. Also, some fuses dont look blown when in fact they are SLIGHTLY. Now, IF you checked BOTH places, checked ALL your fuses. and replaced the ones labeled as the cig lighter, and still no power, then you...

    Asking Advice From The Locals

    When I took it to Gorno, the Mazda Tech went home, but the guy who works the counter Aaron said he hasnt seen anything like that before. The motor seems to be find, We both think it might be the door not sealing properly, but as always not sure. He said he would ask the Mazda Tech and we can...

    Installed New Speakers

    Biggest Problem with replacing the speakers in the 6 is if you dont have Bose and have the stock Headunit. The rear output is filtered for Low Pass. So you dont much for rear output. How do I know this? Pioneer sent me a free pair of the $200 6x8"s. I placed them in the rear to hear how...

    Asking Advice From The Locals

    This is what I assumed, I thought maybe the door wasnt being shut properly when I change the location of flow. Like I said, it does change the MAJORITY of the airflow at high fan speed. But the ammount that flows from the defrost/vents is way more than normal. It's enough flow that with the...

    Remote Start for MS6

    Or get a new Directed model. IE: Viper 5101, 5301, or 5701. They are actually set up for manual trans. OR, bypass the clutch. My honest opinion, if you havnt done it before, let someone else do it. You dont want to mess up your transponder or your car will be dead in the water. You also...

    Component Amp Installation

    The post your refferring to is about grabbing the signal from a factory system that is amplified. If you grab the SIGNAL (before the amp) it will be a low level signal and you can tap into it and use it as a low level (RCA) otherwise if you get the signal from the speaker side of the amp, it's...

    Component Amp Installation

    A Factory radio NEVER has RCAs. They dont exist. You need to use a simple "line out convertor" Basically it taps into the speaker leads off the radio, and drops the signal down to a low level RCA signal, and the RCAs plug into the line out.
