Just a note for anyone about to update to iOS 16.4. Something in CarPlay changed and now you can NO LONGER have independent navigation voice volume and music volume (they are one and the same). Additionally, if you use the Mazda OEM radio or XM, the navigation voice will “focus” the OEM screen...

I’ve had my aliexpress ones affixed to the dead pedal spot with Velcro tape for over 3 years. Zero issues. Having said that, my Spyder mats cover the pedal, lol. I didn’t want to use the screws and the tape has really held rock solid.

That’s what I was referring to :). I have the lower lights already.

So… beside the adhesive, you’re pleased with it? Which ones did you get?

To answer all the questions. 1. Nope, never out of sync. 2. Never had a single instance of moisture or condensation. 3. I live in NJ. You pay for flight and I’ll gladly help :) (or wait until I’m in the Bay Area in august).

I was lucky and had a pair of rhino ramps. Made it easier. Yeah, I did have some busted knuckles, but, I’d help someone do it again :)

Out of curiosity… What did you find difficult? Looks great!

Yup. All of the above :)

I can also vouch for japanparts. Many of us replaced our rear headrests with the JDM versions and purchased them through that site.

It’s a good video but WAY overkill…. Just make some room by removing some clips.

Here’s the kits I am using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W77GWD4/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X87LFWN/ You don’t have to remove the bumper at all. I simply unclipped the plastic shield under the front bumper and worked through that gap (I put the front of the car up on rhino ramps). It was...

Just providing a 3 year update (39 month to be exact) on my lighting accessories. Here’s some pics of the rear bumper LED lights (in place of the OEM reflectors) and the lower front bumper led switchbacks (two rows of LEDs, but the photo doesn’t show that distinction). One of my more enjoyable...

That makes sense. I appreciate you entertaining my ignorance!

It’s funny. I’ve changed every type of automotive fluid I can think off, yet have never (in 30 years of driving) never added water to my car battery. Clearly, it’s a “me” issue and something I probably SHOULD be doing…

Yes. And didn’t you find the link on YouTube?

Also, no need to install any of the older 70.xxx versions with the failsafe version as the newer versions remove the failsafe anyway. The 74.xxx versions were originally for the newer hardware (but NOT the "connected" infotainment systems). They were for the wireless CarPlay. Since then, the...

Having zero issues with my 2019. Just offering another data point.

It's the same system, just that the 2020 has the 8" screen (you can even upgrade your 7" screen to the 8" one if you so desire as it fits without modifications), while the earlier model years have the 7". The 2021+ CX5s have the newer infotainment system.
