I didn't notice 2 wires when I did the install. I just tapped into the first one I saw. Note sure if there are actually 2 (one for each reverse... I think these are the power leads for the reverse lights so there might be 2)

No, my windows aren't tinted. But after a lot of snow in the Northeast this year, having the camera inside (where I can clear the window with the rear wiper) has been a huge plus. One downside to my location though is that you cannot see the rear bumper in the camera's view. The view down to...

Forgot to add, I used a Kenwood camera. No complaints... good visibility and auto-adjusts for dark settings.

I installed it at the top of the window on the inside of the back door (see attached picture). There are a few installs in this forum that have put it here and I've seen one recent post of someone installing the camera down near the license plate (although threading the wire down to that...

Awesome install! Can't believe you got the entire headliner out! Wow!! One note: You mention you wanted a switch to turn the backup camera on at any time. If you hold the NAV button down for 1 sec on the Kenwood, that will give you the reverse camera at any time (not just while in reverse)...

I posted some instructions here: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123711587 Follow those steps (take it slow) and you should be okay. Let us know if you have any issues.

I ended with those gaps around the A/C knobs and buttons too. It's appears the metra dash kit is just a tad too thick. But the gap isn't enough to worry about. Just not as nice a fit as the OEM dash... but much nicer sound, eh! (thumb)

Everyone, It's definitely the Red wire with the yellow stripe. (at least it is on the 2008 GT). You can get to it by removing the kick panel on the right side. There's a bundle of wires coming down from the blue connector - they are wrapped by black electrical tape. Unwrap the tape and sift...

And if you are planning to use the steering wheel controls, you'll need to re-pin the harness (at least the one that Crutchfield sells you) so that pins 12 and 13 are wired. See this thread: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123701738 I moved the power antenna and the remote...

Yes, the display and the bluetooth are in the head unit. But when replacing the head unit, the clock and the A/C-fan-temp portions of the dash display still work. Only the middle portion of the display (the section that says "hello!") will no longer operate. FYI, my aftermarket headunit...

I just replaced my headunit and simply left the old wiring (for the aux input and presumably the bluetooth) unplugged. There are 3 plugs in the back of the stock unit: 1) the Antenna 2) a 6 pin plug (or around 6 pins... can't remember) 3) a 24-pin I simply left the 6 pin unplugged and wired my...

Yes the entire dash base assembly is quite large... it extends from the drivers gas pedal up to the base of the AC controls and then down to the passengers side (and incorporates the gear shift housing - without the silver plate around the gear shift). Be VERY careful pulling the entire base...

Yeah, it works perfectly with the auto climate controls. Actually the knobs are in the same position for manual and auto climate controls so there are no issues. I just finished an install this weekend with this adapter in my Grand Touring (used a Kenwood DNX 5120 for the head unit) and...

stillageek, Thanks for your help. I noticed your other post about the reverse wire in another thread. I presume you tried to tap into the Red/Blue wire coming out of C-04? Have you tried any others? Anyone else out there successfully found the reverse wire? I'm looking forward to getting...

I am about to purchase a Kenwood DNX 5120 with rear view camera and would greatly appreciate any assistance with the following questions before I attempt the install in my 2008 Mazda5 GT (as I can't seem to locate specific answers by searching the various posts): 1. Does anyone know where I...
