I have added lots of more info, more coming later. This what I still have to do: Must: - Extend the tablet mount/holder forward with at least 1/2 inch - its to far away for touch operation - I am 5'11" - Re-route leg vents for the back/passenger's side - currently its blowing to the sub woofer -...

I was looking at these for a while, but I knew there will be lots of headaches with them and no way to return it easily.

I installed B-8PTD, look here

Alright, I have been busy with some problems I got after I finished the rough install: The Alpine unit (148BT) had a very annoying and high hiss at volume level of 60% even with no cable pluged in . The Clarion amp it was powering is super clean - I am very proud of that little guy. In addition...

2013 Manual while the car is I motion you can press and hold the Start/Stop button for 3-4 seconds and it will kill the engine but stays on ACC. That only works while in motion though.

Yes, I just installed it - works like a charm, no programming was needed. Keep an eye on my post: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123834474-2013-CX-5-Sport-Audio-Upgrade-with-Nexus-7 Will post very detailed instructions, for now I can tell you go for the Axxess and get the...

Hey Folks, For the last month I have been planning infotainment/audio system upgrade. Vehicle: 2013 CX-5 Sport Manual, basic radio (without color LCD), 4 speakers, no bose Overview of the project: - Get rid of the OEM stereo - Use Nexus 7 as a head unit/control center - Keep steering wheel's...

No, I am curious if you run a new power wire for the actual unit power source or you used lets say the power outlet under the arm rest?

Another question I have: I know that the Bose amp should be somewhere behind/under the passenger's site compartment. I open the are up today with hope to see the harness for it (since it has 25 amp fuse it will be sufficient for my need) but I couldn't find it. I guess the final piece of the...

I found some more info, but still need extra help: It seems like there are 3 Audio fuses - #38 AUDIO2 - 7.5A, #43 BOSE - 25A, and #44 AUDIO1 - 15A. The Bose fuse doesn't apply to me since I don't have the Bose system. What is weird though is that any of the 2 AUDIO fuses turn off my radio when...

I am planning to upgrade the Sport Basic stereo to Tablet as a head unit, 1 Din basic head unit as a pre-amp and a small 4x45/50 amp in the remaining space in the dash (either the Alpine 445a/u or Clarion 1410). If I go with the Alpine route, the 445a harness directly to an Alpine radio and...

I waiting for this too. I am curious where did you powered it from?

In general I agree with you. However, that does not answer my question. Heat is a residue product. Engine speed is independent to heat produced one you are in gear. With that said, I want to ask again - why does an engine generally burns more fuel in cold weather if we eliminate idle time...

Are you really located in Massachusetts? The Mobil one is significantly thicker specially when cold (I think its the thickest 0w20 on the market) so you should definitely see some improvement with the Mazda GF-5. There is no guarantee that your original oil was the same GF-5. As far as I know...

I understand that, but that happened the next day I changed the oil and it is a significant difference (3-4 mpg +). It has been the same for 250 miles. I check my mpg values hourly and there was definitely a change. What I don't know for sure is if it was from the special oil or because the...

Hi guys, I just changed the oil my self at 5k miles with the new Mazda Genuine GF-5 0w20 with Moly and I got improved gas millage. I am not sure if it is because it is first oil change (e.g. factory oil thicker?, different?) or its a result of the new oil (I believe that) but I immediately got...

I have tried headrest from 2 generation Mazda 3 and they fit loose - e.g. the metal poles are smaller in diameter. Othert than that, the feel a bit better but not perfect.

Do you know what year/trim ? I saw same thing in Ford C-max hybrid. The safety was still there, since you could not push the headrest back with force (e.g., you have to move it all the way forward to release to initial position). I will try stopping by a Subaru/Ford dealer and ask them to try...

I ve tried, turning it around but the angle is to big and it's not good that way either. The back head rests don't fit in the front.
