    New battery at 4 yrs 41k miles???

    Yeah my 2015's stock battery died a little over a year ago so about 3 or 4 years of life. Replaced with a AAA battery which didn't even last a year. Put in a a Northstar AGM after that, hopefully will be much better

    2014 Bose Speaker Replacement - Front Door

    AFAIK you can easily use 6.5 with custom adapters that they sell online, like Crutchfield. Or you be able to drop in an 8" mid-range. I was looking at the Sundown Neo 8. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to replace the dash corners with some Hertz 3.5. May just take it to a shop and...

    2015 Mazda 6 GT Battery * I-Eloop *

    Wish I had known this, couple weekends ago my battery died when I came out to it. AAA jumped it and their reading was the battery is bad so I just had them replace it. Oh well, it was a Sunday and no time off work to go to a dealer. $150 vs $300+

    Doors locked with car running

    Weird, I can't lock my 2015 keys in the car, the car detects them inside with engine off and the driver door won't lock.

    USB playback from first track

    Unfortunately no, get an aftermarket double din. It's worth it.

    20,000 Miles On My 2015 Mazda 6 - List of Problems So Far

    Stop light lag from using 87? has 89/91 been tested to actually make a difference? Got my '15 GT a year ago with 18K on the clock, now its at 36K. Besides oil changes and new front & rear rotors & pads its been going strong. Only mods to it are 2 8" DC Audio M3 in a TL Box with sound deadening...

    Trunk Lid Liner clips

    Basically I pulled off the liner to put sound deadener on it. Of course I pretty much broke all the stupid plastic clips. Besides the dealer any idea where to get these.

    Show your head units!

    Metra Dash Kit from Sonic Electronix. Fits right in. Love that it looks stock. Yeah I'm planning to take the car to a shop near my house eventually and either see if they can hook up to the stock camera or just have a new one run (which I'm sure will have better picture quality anyways) and...

    Did crazy 2017 Mazda 6 custom stereo install.

    Another Bay Area guy! Looks like good work, I will keep them in mind when I finally ditch the Bose. Kind of disappointed they sold you on a capacitor, surprised they even make that junk anymore. I'm running ~1500RMS @ 1ohm to my 2 8's, stock alt, stock battery, no cap. They are not needed...

    Show your head units!

    Pioneer AVH-2300NEX. Installed a couple weeks ago, SonicElectronix didn't send me the harness for Bose connection so ended up having to go to a shop after me and my buddy got it all hooked up then no sound lol. Also, connection to retain factory camera couldn't be figured out even by a shop so...

    Power Steering Recall

    Mazda is recalling more than 60,000 midsize cars in the U.S. and Canada because a wiring problem can knock out power-assisted steering and the passenger air bag. The recall covers Mazda 6 sedans from 2015 and 2016. The company says in documents posted by the U.S. government that wires under the...

    Firmware updates

    Why would you use NAVI that doesn't have real time traffic? Maybe its just me but I don't see a point. Wish I had Android Auto to mirror Google Maps

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    No issues with it. I have the Rockford P1000X1BD. It has input and output clip indicators. When it was in my old car on a Pioneer headunit that have 4v preouts the gain was barely even a hair up but of course the lesser preout voltage its up kind of high so amp gets warm but have had no issues...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    Got this done yesterday. Sure enough you need a micro flat head to turn the inner part where the arrows are. Turned all 4 to the max using corner of a normal flat head then retuned my amp. Usually used the 40hz @ 0db Rockford track but went with -5db this time. Either way it's much louder now...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    Yeah I meant to say it is NOT Philips. I was told it was so I stripped it trying to turn it with the top casing on. I will try using a flat head next time I can get to it. At least by taking it out the other day I was able to clean up the install and make it so my PAC is easily accessible from...

    Amplifier install on 2016 CX-5 Bose with PAC AOEM-MAZ2 adapter

    In the open pic you can tell it's Philips, I tried that with the top two and stripped the plastic. You can tell in the pic it's a weird arrow design. I'll try out a flat head but doubt it will work, these things don't look like they spin
