    My New 2013 Mazda5 GT - Stereo Upgrade Time

    Reprogramming the steering wheel buttons is a bit of a pain, mainly because the direction supplied weren't so good. You have to walk through each button and set. I added a long press to the voice button to activate phone assistant.

    My New 2013 Mazda5 GT - Stereo Upgrade Time

    I tried both the Scosche and RedWolf. Both worked fine. I only kept the Scosche because it had a shorter cable and I trust the brand. I had never heard of RedWolf before.

    The PAC unit was so plug and play, no need to even think about anything else. Just get it 😅

    All of those buttons still work with the PAC unit.

    Clock, MPG, etc on top display remains separate. No need to retain Bluetooth since any headunit you get is going to have that built in.

    I can't answer your questions about the Crux, but can say the Scosche TAUSB01B absolutely is compatible.

    Need to replace belts on '13 GT

    Ah! 12+ IS only the 1 belt. So many people kept saying it was the same as a '10. Ugg. Anyway, this was quite helpful.

    Need to replace belts on '13 GT

    Looking for part numbers for both belts. The main belt is easy to find, but I can't seem to find the smaller belt anywhere. And from the looks of it, the smaller belt needs to be cut off in order to replace the main belt.

    What were the part numbers on the belts? I can't seem to find the smaller belt anywhere. I think they are different from 11- to 12+. I have a 13.

    All that work on wiring and you could have just bought the PAC interface.

    The factory BT unit is not retained in my setup. All controls are passed through CANBUS. Feel free to start a new thread with your particular setup/issues.

    You bypass the stock Sirius unit, and use the aftermarket Sirius kit. The existing antenna is retained with a cheap adapter that plugs in behind the glovebox. "Eightwood 3' Fakra Curry Male to SMB Female Right Angle Sirius antenna adapter"

    From another thread: "For steering wheel controls -> Connect the KEY1 wire to Pin 10 (Red/Black) of the vehicle connector. Connect Pin 9 (Green/White) of the radio connector to chassis ground."

    My New 2013 Mazda5 GT - Stereo Upgrade Time

    I used the PAC RP4-MZ11 interface which handled everything directly. No need to hack up any wires, and all buttons worked.

    Mazda 5

    My '13 GT (90k miles) studders a bit accelerating up hill. That's the only time I really notice any issues.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    That's some DARK tint for snow country. What state let you do that?
