    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    Check the reviews (and pics) for Canbus RP5-MZ-002 (V2.20.007CYN, Date: 20221229). Technically for 2004-2009 MAZDA 3/ AXELA and 2014 MAZDA/CX-7 but I'm willing to bet it should work exactly the same for Mazda5/Premacy (you might need to change the Android's car Model and CAN Type to experiment...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    Thanks for showing your box: MZD-RZ-05; SW: V0106. I wonder how different is it from MZ-SS-06; SW: V1.01..? Note this box has two different dates 20200714 vs 20190710 in the Russian video. If you scroll down, do you see more options? Did you try to set it to "3" (Mazda 3) to see what/if any...

    Mazda5 Electrical issues (diagnosis in progress)

    That is a lead acid battery chart. You need to look up AGM battery (it's not any better).

    Mazda5 Electrical issues (diagnosis in progress)

    google iamge "normal battery voltage" to get a perspective. You should get a 2nd datapoint to get a trend. If possible, leave it for another 3.5 days and check again to get a better gauge of your parasitic drain.

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    I am very curious about your Canbus setup, hope you can provide some details. Do you know the model#, version#, and mfg. date of your canbus unit (should be printed on the box)? In my cross-comparison, there appears to be ~5 different version floating around that works with Mazda (they look...

    Mazda5 Sideview Mirror Glass

    Long story short, need passenger side rear view glass. I am aware of these from the past but they were going for ~$80 pair. I'm opting for direct replacement, $31.68 pair with heat glass. Don't care for turn indicator or BSM (+wiring). IIRC, I believe <'10 cars come prewired up to the...

    Mazda5 Electrical issues (diagnosis in progress)

    I think this is it. I don’t have much experience with AGM batteries but my understanding in is that when they are fully deeply depleted, they need slow trickle charge for 24-48 hrs before use. 2weeks + 10 days with only 30-40 min alternator recharge is likely not enough. Also AGM batterie should...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    I get it and appreciate the forewarnings. B/c I'm technical minded, I need to understand the reasons behind it and not be swayed by blanket or emotional statements esp since I have no past experience. I do have a handful of tablets from really old and cheap to high end and they all have/had...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    Does the T'eyes come with an internal or external Canbus decoder? What else can you toggle/display? I'm not too concerned with brand name but rather focus on hardware/specs. The one thing T'eyes has going is that they moved their support to Australia (English!) and taking an active effort to...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    You are imply I will be messing with this will rolling down the road. I haven't mentioned my use case/needs. Unless I'm making a living using it day in/out, a dedicated handheld ODB2 scanner is not necessary nor recommended. One of the appeals of Android is that it can unify/simplify all for...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    Sounds like you had a terrible experience and left disappointed b/c you were willing to go through 3 units. Can you provide some context. -How long ago did you last use the unit? -Andriod OS version? -Firmware build/version? <-! -RAM count (tech specs)? <-! -CPU speed (tech specs)? <-! -Radio...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    Sounds like this is from experience and not conjecture. Can you share the unit’s detailed specs, when you had it, etc., so we have empirical facts to compare/debate? I’ve never used an “In car” Android head unit. What exactly about it makes it garbage What happens that drive you nuts? My days...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    Janky - LOL, had to look it up and yes for me. Learned something new today! Never said I "was" doing budget, but I did considered it knowing the trader-off that it will run like a $20 tablet but get a modern 9" screen with full kit/wiring. Truthfully, I would not want or recommend anything with...

    2008 Mazda5 Head Unit Died --> Android?

    2008 Mazda 5 getting long in the tooth.. Lately it seems all of the car's material components are starting to failed in bunches as if it hit a some mythical expiration date at the same time. Roof rail cover developed a hold/crack for no reason and the corresponding rear cover popped out... The...

    Help I screwed up!

    Are you able to reverse the ratchet head and use a pair of tongue and grove players to catch the socket to see if you can drive bolt back in to get some space back? You might need try to jiggle the ratchet/socket/player combo. I recall that bolt is a pain and having to use a combo of short...

    Mazda5 (Gen2) Aftermarket Sway Bar Options/Fitment?

    The MS3 end link will fit into the Mz5 suspension arm as is, no mod needed. You can use the Mz5 end link with the MS3 RSB IF you shim it to fit. Technically, the MS3 end link sits a bit short for the stock heigh of the Mz5. This brought back memories... The concept is the same for front or...

    Mazda5 (Gen2) Aftermarket Sway Bar Options/Fitment?

    RSB: you need MS3 spec end links b/c 1) the hole on the MS3 bar is wider. IIRC, one person shimmed it to fit. Not sure how well it worked long term but in theory it should be good. Also, the MS3 end links has a slightly shorter solid shaft b/c the MS3 rides lower. You'll also need wider...
