    How to add amp to stock radio (non touch screen)

    I finally got a pair of Focal 165KR Power (which might be overkill for my needs but I got a great deal) and now I need to decide whether I should replace the headunit with something like the Pioneer AVH-X4500BT or simply add an amp like the JL Audio XD400/4. What do you guys think should be the...

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    Will a pair of Focal 165kr fit in the front? Hi everyone, I'm thinking on installing a pair of Focal 165KR that I can get for a fair price, but since the woofers are a bit deeper than other speakers most of you are using, I was wondering if anyone knows if the depth (71 mm - 2.79528 inches)...

    How to add amp to stock radio (non touch screen)

    A few more questions Thanks Ukelele for your reply. I had no idea that there were such amps that didn't require extensive installation. The amp should be small enough to fit behind the dash or so Alpine says. Now my question is the following: - Do I need to access the dash from behind the...

    Problem with airbag detector for front passenger

    Hi, yesterday I had a long drive with my wife and we noticed how the passenger airbag was off (the sign next to the clock was on). I've had the CX-5 for about 5 weeks and it's possibly the second time someone had sit on the passenger seat, so I can't really tell when the issue started. Last week...
