    Best door speakers to get without upgrading stock bluetooth unit or adding an amp?

    If I just get speakers that have the tweeters in the speaker, a la the DXi651s, they will still fit correct? I understand that putting tweeters down near your calfs are probably foolish, but it is nice to be able to just drop something in...and it is worth it to swap out the two dash...

    Best door speakers to get without upgrading stock bluetooth unit or adding an amp?

    Okay, I am ready to upgrade the front dash speakers, and the front door speakers. The rears are not important, since the baby sits back there. I would love SPECIFIC model suggestions...I will only be a doing a swap out, no amp upgrade, no sub. Hoping to get some of the muddy sound gone. I was...

    sound system - great sound CD and Crap otherwise

    There are many threads on this already. First, if the CD player sounds good, then the stock amp can drive the speakers just fine IF the source is good. The Sirius service is a totally ripoff with the crap bitrate they send down, but I can't get my wife to drop the service... Your options are...

    2016 CX5 Awesome. Should have waited for sure now i have seen it.

    I guess if I REALLY cared about reliability I wouldn't ride a Buell...a high horsepower Harley Davidson built machine that was known for problems...but hey! I Love Milwaukee iron...I make up for it with a Japanese designed and built Mazda...Yin and Yang...maybe I SHOULD buy a JEEP...nah...

    2016 CX5 Awesome. Should have waited for sure now i have seen it.

    So a few things... Let me guess... after you buy a TV or iPhone or iPad, you still watch the internets and get upset when it drops 50% in value in 6 months or a better one comes out a few months after you bought one...things get better, and usually in a hurry, enjoy your purchases in the...

    CONSTANT NAGGING to accept a the Bluetooth pairing with cellphone.

    You post is incredibly annoying. We get it. You're annoyed. BUT, if you go into the Setup of the Bluetooth area on the CX5, you can pair the car to a separate voice and music stream. If you don't want to currently connect to the car, then tell the car side of the BT to Not pair with YOUR...

    with Android 5.0 about to drop things might get better or way worse for NEW Android phones with our cars. Anyone a developer who has it? I run WP 8.1.1 so I can't be of any help.

    Most Cheap POS cars today work with Bluetooth and have USB Media Ports and work GREAT

    Too many tech options with phones and head units. Even the cars that went to bed with Apple got caught out when they switched to the lightning port. Did you test the phone with the Mazda before you bought it? What would you trade your CX5 for? Have you verified that it works with your phone too?

    Class Action Lawsuit Against Mazda Over USB/Bluetooth Music Issue?

    BOSE is a terrible company that has made outdated terrible products for 20 years. People whom are deaf or dumb or suckers for pyramid schemes think ANY BOSE product is as good or better than ANY competitors similarly priced product in any medium. Mazda only uses the BOSE name because average...

    For those of you who might be interested in something a little smaller than CX-5...

    In areas of lots of traffic congestion and small parking spaces, a Smaller CX-3 would sell. If there is no market, them why is Audi releasing the QX3?

    Infotainment a big part of the complete quality evaluation of a car these days.

    What do you mean they don't work as telephones? Calls have never been clearer, unless you have a terrible phone. Infotainment is as important to me when I drive to the store as the smooth 6 speed transmission, safety features, AWD, handling, braking, etc. It is a cog on the gear... BTW, I...

    new Mazda infotainment system firmware for CX-5 with TomTom coming soon

    new Mazda infotainment system firmware for CX-5 with TomTom coming soon

    It isn't great, I'll admit that. But if they can fix the iPhone issue (I fixed it by upgrading to Windows Phone!) and ditch the safety lock, I'll stop complaining. Seriously, just remove the safety lock. My parents 2013 VW Jetta Sportwagen has a sound system designed in the 80's...and it...

    Oil consumption, dirty exhaust and an answer from a Mazda mechanic

    Soot on the exhaust pipe is from a overly rich condition at some point when driving, my guess is that "loud" 30 second start up the car has. Also, pump gas has stuff in it that tends to make pipes a bit sooty...same thing with my race gas vs pump gas on my race bike, the race gas is much...

    Next major update to the Navi Radio Media Phone?

    Pretty sure the next software update wont fix much. All they could fix would be the safety lock. The USB Bluetooth fix is an actual hardware replacement. That is what I am waiting for.
