    Adapting 2014 multimedia software (Pandora) into 2013's unit.

    I wouldn't count on much in that regard. If the info can be obtained as to the software injection method and the ROM for the '14 radio secured, I guess it would only be a matter of the qualified individual hacking said unit. Finding all three may turn into a Holy Grail proposition... Let me just...

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    I'm assuming you spliced them in with butt splices, correct? Yeah my shins and knees get great audio, my ears not so much lol

    Mazda OEM Accessories rear window shade.

    Mahzder... lol gotta love them Ozzies. I, for one am tired of reading about and/or seeing products for cars that, due to American Exceptionalism are not made available here. Utter regional marketing bulls***, hate it like the global trim level CF. I blame Walmart.

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    Yeah the door speakers should go as well, I do highly suggest using the OEM spkr bracket/mount and the connector as it simplifies the install, especially on the fronts. So did you put the DB351s in there? If so those will really give the mids and high end the clarity the OEM (and any door spkr...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I just stick my head out the window and say "Beeeep-Beeep-Beeeep" very loudly...

    2013 CX-5 Sport Leather Upgrade

    Nice! Maybe in a few years after the OE fabric begins to show some age, heck I'll install the whole lot I enjoy a cuss fest!

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    Good show man! Yeah I would have gone that route if I were 20 years younger, I used to do this kind of work in my sleep but my eyes cannot work this close anymore without an Optivisor or some-such and it's a tight space which further lowers my patience. Hell the funny part is that I usually...

    Hooting Noise

    I believe that is normal. Your description may vary from other's experience but I've read other similar reports and have heard it myself under the same or similar conditions as you report. There might even be a mention of it in the manual, but don't quote me on that.

    CX-5 blind spot

    Yeah, I almost sideswiped a small sedan a few weeks back on Genesee heading back from lunch precisely for the same reason. I wonder if one can shim the right mirror out some to compensate for the housing...? I'm going to remove the rear head rests since they don't provide much purpose most of...

    Anyone else having iPod issues?

    If I shut off the radio and unplug my iPhone 4 before shutting the motor off, upon returning to drive away it will resume where it left off. If I just shut off the motor before doing this and unplug the phone, it will read the contents before playing anything.

    Replacing the speakers- General thoughts on my install

    The rear speakers went a bit better on install, but I think if I did it again I'd use the adapter/spacer that come with most spkrs. The back OEM spkr bracket doesn't have as much land to screw into for attachment, I found that a couple of screws missed the mark and didn't thread into the meat of...

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    Yeah I gave up on the idea of component speakers for this reason, no one had a clue and I don't have the time to pour over a Mouser catalog to find the proper connector shell type and pin style (if they carry them, hell they carry everything electronic on earth...). That said, if I was more...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Installed a pair of Infinity 6032si in the back, sounds much better now. They have less bass then the REF 6502xi, guess that's understandable given the speaker and the location, the fronts have more volume in the enclosure. Nice bass rise when both sets are dialed in.

    6MT Endangered?

    I fight it somewhat daily and it's taking some getting used to, but overall it ain't bad. If you picked an MT for the usual reasons then an MT in traffic is not going to ruin your day. The worst part I find are on-ramps, but the challenge keeps me from cussing at the stupidity around me (like...

    Is the CX-5 a LEMON ?

    In general? No. The one your GF owns? Possibly. The dealer needs to be taken to task over these issues and if they can't solve them then Mazda NA needs to be informed that if these are not sorted post haste, she will be talking with the consumer affairs bureau.
