cx-5 audio

The posts in this forum helped me a great deal when upgrading the audio in my 2018 CX-5 (non-Bose) so I thought I'd return the favour and write about some of the issues I encountered which I couldn't find much information on. Hopefully my experiences will be of use to someone else. I'll try...
