    6MT Endangered?

    Yeah "American Exceptionalism" is at play, we always get screwed in the trim level charades game.

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    Have you looked at the HU connector? Go to the first post, member Hollis has posted wiring schemos that included cable layout diagrams. The other option being running new wires, since you probably won't find the correct connector for the OEM tweeter assembly.

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    After some responses from both Metra and Crutchfield that basically said we don't have a clue and haven't anything in the pipeline, I went ahead and bought some Infinity REF-6502ix and will drop them in the OEM speaker basket and call it a day. They had sounded better than the Polk Audio Best...

    MP3 intergration

    From my understanding and experience, yes. But codec and bitrates have some limitations as to what will work, typical mp3s have not been a problem for me. YMMV though... Read through this thread.

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    The link isn't working, are those 72-7901? If so they won't work, the Metra connector is rectangular and had spade type lugs. The one in the car is squarish and would accept round or square pins only. Let me know if I'm wrong on the Metra number.

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    Did anyone ever figure out the proper connector for the dash speakers? I've read through this thread two or three times and understand what others have done, but after 30 years making cables, fixing tape machines, consoles and outboard gear I'm just not interested, nor can I see well enough to...

    Bluetooth Audio w/ MT 2014?

    The CX-5 "Build Your Mazda" area on Mazdausa does not show a BT option for the MT, AT yes. I understand the '13 MT had this option as I had considered it but the vehicle was not in the color I wanted. I'm guessing that marketing dropped the ball on updating the '14 sales brochures. It may be an...

    CX5 manual clutch stuck to floor car lock down in middle of busy highway

    Shouldn't this topic be in the Engine, Transmission & Drivetrain sub-forum? (mods?) This is a serious matter, I hope the dealer is on top of this.

    Dashboard rattle over bumps - my story...

    ^This! I don't have the time to drop my vehicle off at the dealer for a rattle, I'll either live with it (heck I listen to the radio most of the time, therefore obscuring typical rattles) or I'll attempt to sort it myself, which after this morning (rattle from the left area in question) and then...

    Product Improvement Thread

    Har-har... No thanks, I used to live in that mess in Minnesota. Actually they've been in the 30's in the morning, just enough to piss you off.

    Product Improvement Thread

    Yep. Plus the heater takes too long to warm the cabin, my Korean hatch took 1/3 the time to run me out of the car with heat why can't Hiroshima's best?

    Musings on NVH in the CX-5

    Coming from a 7 year old Korean hatchback (solid, reliable car), I'm sitting in a pretty quiet, fun to drive vehicle. I have heard a rattle from the dash on a very cold morning and seen a little vibration in the driver's side mirror (which I noted on my Elantra the other day with my wife...

    Justa little gripe about lossless WMA

    Well I wouldn't go that far, my 3rd gen Shuffle will not function at all via the USB, yet the 2 different USB thumbdrives with completely different file types created on two different OSes do. Heck the thing even skips past the 2 hidden files on the one drive I made one my Mac, but plays the 2...

    Justa little gripe about lossless WMA

    So I encoded a track direct from a CD using WMP 12 and I made an WMA lossless @ 337kbps, a WMA VBR @ 337, a WAV file @ 1411kbps and finally an Mp3 at 320kbps, and put all of this onto a Lexar 4g thumbdrive. The only one not to function was the WAV file. I wasn't able to create a WMA Pro file @...
