    Armrest storage box

    Just got the console storage box from eBay seller. Perfect fit, I just made front USB port a tad wider so the iPod shuffle could fully insert. Was even able to keep the small standard tray in place, sitting on top of new box. Kuddos to OP for the find and sharing experience, as my first attempt...

    Armrest storage box

    Thank you. I also have one that looked exactly the same, bought at AMZN and was so much a pain in the neck to install (hacking involved, described earlier on thread) that requires brute force to remove it. Glad to hear not the case with this one, might be heading there.

    Armrest storage box

    @lowincash, great to hear, appreciate sharing. A few questions if you don't mind: A) Country, trim & year of your CX5? USA Touring'17? B) How easy is to remove the insert? Just grab by side tabs and slides out? C) Can you still use the little tray that comes standard with the CX5? D) Mind...

    Armrest storage box

    Looks like could fit Wished seller had some pictures with tray installed on console. At least the front hole for ports access seems well thought, hopefully tray either sits on rails, or is narrower than them so can easily drop in place and be removed. if someone ends buying this one, would...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Front window tint Had front windows tinted today. Was advised couldn't match rear privacy glass (believe 20%), as TX maximum is 25%. Now to remember to not depress the windows lock button and keep my fingers out of the "do not roll" tape for 3-5 days. Interestingly, seems makes the interior...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Did a great job, thanks for sharing pics. Wished you were in TX instead of FL.... although the 5% tint on front windows would get you in trouble here ;)

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Blacked out chrome looks very nice with the gray color. Have been tinkering with the idea of doing that to my Sonic Silver. What did you use? Plasti-dip? Vinyl? Tape?

    Armrest storage box

    Thought a few pics could assist: Shows the cut I made into the base so could store items under insert. Not a nice looking cut, but the mat -along a little piece of carton- covers it Top view of the "hacked" insert installed, showing all mats in place Front view of the "hacked" insert...

    Armrest storage box

    Did it fit right away? Right after getting my CX-5 ~3 months ago bought one organizer on AMZN that looks almost identical and didn't fit, was as wide as the tabs inside the console that hold the sliding tray while this organizer is meant to go through them and sit right on top of the USB, SD...

    Infotainment Hack

    I sure wish someone in the Houston, TX area offered the serial cable hack as a service. I got .504 fw on my Dec17 CX-5 and nor am I handy to attempt taking pieces of the dashboard yet, neither Linux savvy. I guess can keep wishing.... or wait until MZD supports AA/ACP... but not holding my...

    2017 CX-5 Phone Mount Options

    Have the exact same setup and love it. Went to center vents instead of driver's side in case co-pilot needs to get a hold of the phone. Alternatively, front passenger can use the holder if need be. Mind me asking why USB? Is it for power? If so, I have a coiled cord connected to the outlet just...

    2017 CX-5 Trailer hitch questions

    Similar experience as Alpha, did just by myself ˜5 weeks ago. If you can get someone to assist, should be a ˜45 mins project. Just follow the etrailer.com instructions, there's one little piece of plastic under the CX-5 bumper that you don't put back on, as would hit the hitch. In my case...

    5 basic MZD Connect questions

    My CX-5 is about two months old and I don't spend much time on the road, hence limited MZD Connect usage so far. I'm on version 59.00.504, paired with an iPhone 6 running iOS11.2.5. Shortly after pairing phone realized several contacts were missing, removed connection and deleted Mazda profile...

    2017 CX-5 Phone Mount Options

    ^^ This! Exact same setup I have, has been going on for ~1 month now (my CX-5 is 5 weeks old). Magnetic holder base is made of plastic and was wider & deeper than hazard button housing, hence trimmed sides & front so doesn't extend beyond housing. Cut finish shows a bit hence tinkering with the...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Great improvement. LED panel and motion sensors were a couple of the ideas I evaluated, decided not to go with them as concerned car's own motion, or even cargo area contents could trigger them. But in hindsight, think most of those lights have an OFF setting hence if indeed triggering w/o need...

    Who has done the Mazda AIO Hack?

    Thanks for your reply.Yes, posed the reverse question in case wanted to disguise the fact AIO had been hacked or if ended not liking mod. Cheaper alternative to the $2.2K to address some BT/connectivity issues that has been referenced on this thread. OK, time for me to read/watch more about the...
