    Navigation gripes

    Is it just me or is the navigation system in the 2015 Mazda3 a piece of garbage? It's totally useless compared to google maps on my phone. The interface is about 10 years out of date. I assume the SD card is not keyed to your car as I see them for sale on Ebay, I'm probably going to sell...

    The left side of the speedometer is now dark. (the red colored illumination on the numbers and tick marks) How difficult is it to get the dash apart and replace the lamp? Is it an LED or a regular tungsten bulb? If the former is it surface mounted / soldered on? From what I have seen on...

    WTB: P5 Driver's side mirror (silver)

    I have a silver '03 P5 and am in need of a driver's side rear view mirror with silver body color. Mine was knocked off by an errant dumpster lid and broken in a way not easy to fix. I would prefer that the electrical is properly disconnected and not cut, but I'll take what is available. The...

    Wanted: Protege5 driver's seat belt receptacle

    I'm looking for the female end, that attaches to the seat. I'd like one that hasn't been strained in a wreck. I don't know if the passenger and the drivers sides are identical, if so either would work I guess. Right now I'm plugging my seatbelt into the passenger side receptacle and it...

    It's paid off...

    Well, after almost 5 years it's paid off. And only 90k miles and looks and drives like new. And thanks to the butterfly valve defect, I got a free new engine at 30k. No problems since then except those crappy electric door locks. It'd be nice to drop a turbo in it some time...but as far as...

    Any way to use XM with stock headunit in 06 M3?

    What I'd -like- to do is integrate an XM tuner much like the Terk universal tuner (XMD-1000) and brand-specific adaptors - so that the receiver is controlled entirely from the stock head unit and everything's clean, no extra tuner screen, wires or other external accessories hanging out of the...

    P5 knocking, rattling, rough idle, engine light...burned valve?

    Happy holiday weekend to everyone, hope you're having a better time than I am. I arrived at Felton, CA. to find that when I came to a stop the engine was sputtering and knocking and occasionally rattling, and then the check engine light came on. I hobbled back to my dad's place in Gilroy...

    Kenwood MASK units don't fit P5? (KDC-MP825)

    I talked to crutchfield, and they say that the units are just a little too deep. I haven't removed the stock radio yet, so I don't know what's back there. Is it blocked up on both top and bottom DIN areas? Anyone sucesfully put a recent Kenwood MASK unit in their P5? The one I am...
