For some reason, the airbag light stays on in my 2002 protege 5. Dealer took an initial look and said they couldn't find the problem. No codes stored. They thought it might be a relay. They also wanted me to authorize 4 hours of labor totalling $350 and still couldn't guarantee it would be...

Need to replace the stock batt for a bit better one. I searched and could not find the model num for the Optima that fits the P5. Do I need to have a custom bracket made to use an Optima in the P5? I see Interstate makes a Megatron that fits. Any experience? Interstate is half the price of...

I am well aware that RCA's should run down one side, and power on the other. 1st question is: which side for the telephone wire for my remote bass knob? 2nd question is: could cell phone interference be picked up by this cable? I only get interference in my sub. I am doing tests to see...

I don't know how or why this is happening, but man it is freaking annoying. Here's the setup: new Kenwood Excelon X689 HU, Kenwood iPod connector, Hifonics Zeus 4ch amp, Solobaric 12". Occasionally, there is a ticking noise (varies in loudness) that is heard through my sub. It gets worse when...

I am checking to see if anyone out there has a 1 1/4" hitch for their P5 that they no longer want. After a very messy roof-mounted bicycle and garage door incident, I think it's best to put my bike behind my car. -Ryan

Has anyone found a good match for the silver dash paint? I nicked mine up a bit with my last dash install.

I was headed to the dealer for a tune up on my 2002.5 P5 and thought I would pick up some Bosch Double Platinum plugs from the local Pep Boys for the dealer to install. The mechanic at the dealer says Mazda does not recommend installing platinum plugs since it will not yield the optimum...

Got this in my email. Big clearance sale at CEC if anyone's interested. www.cecwheels.com/gallery/archive/clearance_guide_q3_04.pdf I am not affiliated with them and many of the fitments don't work for P5's, but the prices are pretty nice.

Horrible Alternator Whine - Now solved I think have isolated the source of the whine to the power and ground for my Hifonics ZX6400. I used Lightning Audio 4ga for power and ground (ground is ~12-14 in long and bolted to one of the rear seat bolts after grinding the paint off the body for a...

I noticed that Maxxis offers a 195/50VR-16 called the MA-V1. Has anyone driven on or heard of these? I am trying to find a different tire for the stock rims on the P5. http://www.maxxis.com/automotive/productDetail.asp?BrandID=142 Suggestions? -Ryan

Ok, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I have a brand new Hifonics ZX6400 powering a Solo 12L5 with the remote bass boost installed. When I turn the radio volume down all the way, and the bass boost all the way up, I can hear what seems to be a radio station (not one I've ever listened...

I am about to install a modest size amp (Hifonics Zeus ZX6400)and sub enlosure (Kicker VS12L5), but am worried that the stock alternator is no where near large enough to supply adequate power. The amp I am planning to install is fused at 60A which is a decent amount of power. What worries me...

I am looking at putting this pre-made Kicker Solo-Baric and box combo in my P5, and was curious if anyone else has heard one in a P5. I just want a clean sound, I don't want a ton of bass. Other components: Alpine headunit, 5 1/4" Quarts and Diamond Audio components. I plan on using the Sony...

I am looking at 17 or 18 inch versons for my P5. I feel they offer a different look and are not seen on every corner. Any photos would be appreciated. Thanks. http://www.cecwheels.com/images/19.jpg

I got a quote from my friendly (sarcasm) Mazda dealer for $125 for the MSP pocket. I ordered the support bar and screws for a staggering $30. The local audio shop suggested the Best Kits universal pocket. Do not make the same mistake I did. It's crap, doesn't fit, and looks like junk. If...
