    Thanks. I will try with my bare hands :-). Also, I found a opening right beneath the hood-release lever. I was able to touch the pocket assy through this opening which is located in the lower panel. May be this is what mazda instructions ask us to use and push the pocket assy out to the rear of...

    CX-5 Navigation Installation

    I found a small opening right underneath the lower panel below the cubby hole. I was able to reach the pocket assy and felt the wires. I think what the instruction is talking about is this opening. You can probably put ur hands up through this opening and push the pocket assy out. Or pry with a...

    Nizzy1115, please tell me how I can pull out that cubby hole. Just use a flat head screw driver or something and then push the edges out first, then pull the whole thing out? Coz, instructions ask us to push this thing from the rear of the lower panel. Also, are you absolutely sure that we dont...

    Oh, because the instructions say 'from the rear of lower panel'. Darn! Now, noob question, please bear with me. Do I just have to use some flat head screw driver and push outward at the sides and then pull the assy off from the front side? Would this not a nice car theft candidate as its so easy...

    I am trying to install my Nav to CX-5. The step I don't understand is that "Grasp the pocket assy from the back side of the lower panel and press it out to the vehicle rear". I opened the hood and checked to see where the pocket assy is. I know I see the front side of the Pocket assy right below...

    Tech Package vs No Tech Package

    I understand what you saying. However, owning an in-dash GPS has long been a desire for me but never wanted to plunk down $1500. Now, its within reach at 1/3 of the price, so I wanted to try : -)

    Tech Package vs No Tech Package

    I just bought the CX-5 NAV Unit off of ebay for $459. I read the installation instructions and it looks fairly simple. Can I do it myself? (I dont have a lot of car techie experience or exposure before). My dealer charges $124 for installation. Please advice.
