Does anyone know how or where to go to get the most up to date map for the navigation system? It's in a desperate need of an update. Thanks in advance.

I have a 2015 3s Touring (2.5L SkyActive) hatchback with a 6-speed manual transmission. Last week while driving on a highway the BSM light flashed on my dash, my stereo skipped for a second or two. Since my car has a manual transmission it normally displays what gear you're in but that stopped...

How do you get the directions to show up on the HUD, or the Active Display as Mazda calls it. All I get is the speed and for a few seconds my cruise control setting. I know the directions from the stock navigation system is supposed to be displayed also but they're not. Any help? Oh, I have a...

My 2015 3s came with 18" wheels. I'm thinking of getting a winter set of tires/wheels and was wondering how low I can down size the wheels to. I'm pretty sure 17" will clear the brake calipers but will 16" work also? I know the 3i comes with 16". Do both models use the same brake components? If...

When I first got my 3s Touring I was able to read texts sent to my phone on the infotainment screen. Now when I get a text I'll get notification on the screen that I have a text and who it's from. Then it'll ask me if I want to view it but then it won't download the message. It'll try but fails...

Well, after over 8 years of ownership we finally bid farewell to our Yellow 2003 Protege5. My wife and I really enjoyed driving that thing and had some fond memories of taking it to Canada, camping, skiing, down the shore, up the mountains, etc. But now with our toddler son we had to get...

My wife's 2003 Protege5's airbag light started blinking yesterday. The pattern is 3 long blinks and then 7 shorter blinks. Does anyone know what that means? Thanks

Hi all, we're considering selling our 2003 Protege5 and we're trying to get a feel for what a fare selling price is. It is yellow with auto trans. The car drives fine with no mechanical issues. It has about 101,000 miles. Oil changed at every 5,000 miles by me. It did have two minor accidents...

As stated in the title, the airbag warning light in my wife's 2003 Protege 5 started blinking. The pattern is 3 flashes, a pause, then 7 quicker flashes and then it repeats. Can someone tell me what it means or can direct me to where I can find the meaning? Thanks.

My wife's '03 P5 just died. I mean she was driving and all of a sudden all the different lights on the dash come on, then radio stopped working, and then eventually the car just died. She calls AAA to get it towed back home and the tow truck driver said it is most likely the alternator. He tried...

I got a Scan Guage II for my wife's P5 but I can't find a good place for it. Can those who have them post where they put it in their car?

I know we're right in the middle of summer and snow is the last thing on our minds but I want to start thinking of getting a set of steel wheels to mount winter tires on for my wife's 2003 Protege5. I'm looking at either 15" or 16" steelies. Can anyone help me find them? Thanks.

My wife was driving to work yesterday in her 2003 P5 and when she got there she noticed there was green fluid dripping from the engine compartment on to the ground and is running down the lot. So right away she calls me at work and told me what's happening. I told her to pop the hood and see if...

One of the belts under the hood is squeaking but only when the car is cold and only for a few seconds. The belts are new and the noise does go away but it is annoying. I know there's a way of tightening it but I don't know how. Can anyone help? Pictures and/or diagrams will help a lot. Thanks.

I just got new brake pads installed and rotors machined. The guy at the shop says the brakes will feel a bit spongy or soft at first until the new pads wear in. When I first hit the brakes the pedal nearly goes to the floor before it will stop. But if I hit the brake pedal, let up, and hit it...

The driver side power lock in my wife's 2003 Protege5 isn't functioning anymore. When she pushes the remote to lock or unlock all the other doors will work but not the driver side. Plus it makes a grinding kind of sound. I though maybe the connection between the power lock motor and the lock rod...

Well, she's at it again. My wife drives the Mazda Protege5 and one of the tires has a slow leak. So I went to the local Pep Boys to get the slow leak fixed thinking it is the tire but they tell me that the rim is bent. So now I'm looking to buy just 1 OEM rim. It does not have the chrome rim so...

Does anyone have and use the ScanGuageII in their car? It is like a trip computer where it monitors fuel economy, distance traveled, etc. It is also a scan tool to help with troubleshooting and is able to reset the "Check Engine" light. My car already has a trip computer so I don't need it but...

I'm looking to get an adapter plug type thing for the headlight bulb. I don't know if you know what I'm talking about but there's an adapter or a plug type thing that goes between the H7 bulb and the wiring harness. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Can anyone tell me if and where I can get access to a backup light wire up near the dash area? I'm installing a backup camera and LCD monitor and I need to tap into a wire that's hot when the car is in reverse. The way the wiring is situated, the 12V+, neg ground, and the backup sensor all need...
