    Post Pictures of Your CX-5 Mods, Upgrades and Accessories!

    I was extremely dissatisfied with the lighting in the trunk area so added some LEDs in the lift gate. They work even with the cargo cover attached and have been super helpful. Wired with a flush push button switch next to the cigarette lighter. All wiring is routed through the existing grommet...

    2014 CX-5 Dash Speaker Wiring Harness?

    2014 has 3 dash speakers, Ive got the Bose system and replaced the dash ones with coaxial speakers that included a tweeter. Why don't you just pry off the grilles and find out if wires are there and what connections they have?

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    Oh and for the record, its not the mounting plate that restricts the movement of the chair, only the cup holder itself.

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    It is! Yeah it does restrict the seat from sliding all the way forward but that hasn't been an issue for me yet. It was the only solution I could find that didn't require any drilling. I suppose you could make the attachment bar longer and put a 'leg' underneath to support the weight instead.

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    I added a third cup holder with a piece of steel attached to the inside of the chair track, works a treat! Nice addition for ~$10

    DIY CX-5 Track Style Roof Rack

    The Vortex bars have plenty of clearance for the antenna too. Loving the Rhino quick mount system though!

    DIY CX-5 Track Style Roof Rack

    I was able to achieve a similar result using Rhino Racks RTC tracks and some aluminum U channel on our 2019 CX-5 GT. The RTC seems to be one of the more low profile tracks and also a lot cheaper than Yakima. Fully supported all the way, this thing came out rock solid.

    2014 CX-5 GT Fog light wired to be available all the time

    The way that I wired it I can use my fog lights whenever I like, even if the car is off. The wire that we are cutting leads to the BCM which is what cuts the power to the fogs when high beams come on, which is the main reason I wanted to do this mod.

    2014 CX-5 GT Fog light wired to be available all the time

    I fed the wire through the main wiring grommet that is located behind your brake/gas pedals. Quite easy though you'll likely need to remove the battery to get access from the engine bay side. For the relay in the fuse box i just bent pin 86 to a 90 degree angle and attached a spade connector...

    Replacing 2014 CX-5 GT halogen fog light bulbs w/LEDs

    I'm running LED fogs with no issues. Similar setup to what you've posted. There is a potential depth issue with the stock heat shield (not sure what its called) inside the fog housing. In my case this needed to be cut and pulled out through the bulb hole. It was not easy.

    2014 CX-5 GT Fog light wired to be available all the time

    If anyone was interested in doing this mod themselves I eventually figured out how to do it myself. This brown wire from the indicator/light stalk can be cut and re-wired through the firewall straight to pin 86 on the Fog light relay in the engine bay (I bent the pin to connect a spade...

    2014 CX-5 GT Fog light wired to be available all the time

    Hey guys! Im looking for a thread or some wiring information to be able to do this on my 2014 GT. I found this thread for another vehicle (09 CX-9) but not sure if the wire colours would be the same:

    Easiest way to Install LED light bar up front

    2014 GT light bar installation was a breeze! Put some hella horns in there while I had the bar off too. <a href="https://ibb.co/478pgVW"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/W6kfp2n/fullsizeoutput-52c2.jpg" alt="fullsizeoutput-52c2" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/h943rZD"><img...
