Yes, there is space behind it. To get to it you do have to pretty much take apart the whole center console. It is not too bad, but does take a little bit of time. I have a post on it here https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123856681-2016-Center-Console-Removal&highlight= Please...

Can you make a how to on this? Do you happen to know if it will work on US versions?

yeah, but I really want to have it integrated into the head unit. I don't want some other box to have to use to select the channels and such. The VAIS Tech option at least adds the support from the USB. So if it might be a hardware item inside the head unit, does that mean the antenna should...

Thanks. I realized I did not get many good pictures of the light process lol. I can at-least get some installed ones though. The actual running of the wire is pretty self explanatory once you get the trim off and know where you want to put everything. I am finding though that even just the...

Yes, they just pull straight out. there are a number of clips in it, so it is a little suborn, but they are just the plastic red kind, so once started it come off fairly easy. should be no need for a trim puller. The inside ones come off in the same manor. In the picture you quoted, you can see...

I took apart my center console today and installed some lights in the front cubby, the cup holder acrylic pieces, the glove box, and the center console storage. With that I will be composing a how-to soon with everything I used. I did not do any other electrical work with the outlets or 12v...

Here is a write-up on the center console removal for the 2016 CX-5. I did this to install some ambient lighting (I am making a separate how to on that). Also check out this thread for info on just accessing the Command Knob or getting under the cup holders...

I had similar problems trying to find a mount/ place for my phone. Ended up finding that iOttie has one that is very nice. It can adjust in all sorts of manners and has a "sticky" suction cup that will not mar the dash. Here is my setup: (pictures taken at shoulder height so the phone looks...

I know this question has been asked a few times on how to get to the command knob area in the 2016 CX-5 for cleaning. If you need to take apart the console, see this how-to: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123856681-2016-Center-Console-Removal So, if you though that getting to the...

Also, question, has anyone looked into exactly what is limiting or enabling the XM feature? Is it just something in the software or is it missing an antenna or is it other hardware within the head unit?

Here is a photo of the pin-out for the 2016 models in case it helps anyone! I was taking apart my center console today so I figured I would get a picture.

I decided to just try it on my 2016... and figured it out! Actually is easier than I expected, after I figured out the command knob part. How to: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123856681-2016-Center-Console-Removal

Took apart the center console to finish installing my accent lighting I purchased almost a year ago now haha. Now that I figured it out, it is actually remarkably easy! Will be making a how to....

I have had those in my car over a year now, they work great and look nice IMO. Holding up just fine. the texture has gone down where my heel is on the driver one, but nothing that indicates it will have a hole there any time soon. Like most other all weather mats, just take them out and hose...

Yep, sounds about normal. As others have stated, you should be able to get about 50 miles past empty before the tank runs dry. Definitely not recommended though...

There are warnings about accidental locking keys in car if you leave them in the cup holder. Try the foil method and put them there, as there is already iffy signal at the cup holders. I do not believe he is talking about the trunk open button, but rather the round button that is to the right...

Thanks for posting, I may go for this option. I frequently drive where there is no cell service so I cannot just use my phone as many do. I wonder if you can access the usb from behind?

Power folding side mirrors are in some other variants of the CX-5, and those I would love to have. That along with the other windows besides the driver be automatic open/close, and the moon-roof "auto" close (so you don't have to hold it auto, could care less if it closed on its own when the car...

Awesome post! I was wanting to do this a while back but could not find out how and like Ride92, I want it to look OEM. One question though, is that wire tap the same in 16 year models?

Any luck with a 2016? My dealer wants $350 for a full paper copy.
