I recently replaced the Double DIN stock radio with a single DIN radio. I used all the required adapters, soldered the adapter harness to the replacement radio plug and all went well. Until it just crapped out. With no explanation, the speakers are silent. There's full power to the deck (both...

Hey everyone, Has anyone figured out how to turn off the Tom Tom prompt that asks to collect and send data to Tom Tom? My navigation system asks me EVERY time i turn it on whether I want to collect and send data. Thank you!

Has anyone here tried doing this on a 3rd-gen Protege? I spent a bit of time yesterday scouring the interwebs for how-to's. I came across several like this (for a Mazda 6) which said to jumper pins 1 and 13 to get a button ("Media" button) to function so you can switch the input to come from...

The stock single-CD head unit in my 2005 Mazda3 is on its last legs: The CD player is skipping and the amplifier appears to be dying. If you have an unblemished 2004/2005 stock (non-BOSE) head unit in good working order that you'd like to get rid of for a decent price, I would be very...

Hello. I am new to the forum. I am about to close on the purchase of a 2010 CX-9 Touring with Bose but without Nav. I have been reviewing posts on the site, and see plenty of options involving either the base stereo or the stereo with Nav, but I don't see any that involve the Bose without...

I have a non-bose 2010 mazda6 touring plus I notice that the rear deck has speaker grill in the middle. I believe this is where the Bose system would have a sub. Does anyone know if a sub can be installed in this spot? If so what size and how difficult is it to get to? If that doesn't seem...

Hi guys, Anybody know where is the best place in (UK right hand drive Mazda2) the firewall to pass through the power cbale to wire up an amp? I have seen some people on here (USA left hand drive) pass the cable through near to the steering wheel but I cannot see the hole they have shown. Any...

Sold my car, and have these upgrades available now Navi is made by finest chinese craftsmen :). It allows for bluetooth handsfree, audio streaming, dvd payback and many other functions i rarely used. comes with gps antenna, remote and a harness adapter already attached for easy installation. It...

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but today when I started up my car, my USB (connected to my i-pod) wouldn't connect. I haven't had any problems with it prior to today and I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in as well as try a different cord and still nothing. Help!

Can anyone please tell me how to remove the Pocket assembly while installing the CX-5 Navigation unit? In the instructions manual it says "Grasp the pocket assy from the back side of the lower panel and press it out to the vehicle rear". Now, I popped the hood open and was looking for the...

Greetings all, Today the OEM head unit I ordered, pulled from a 2012 Grand Touring, arrived, and being a nice comfortable 80 degrees out this evening I decided not to wait until the weekend to do the install. Considering we had 18 inches of snow just two weeks ago, and can expect another cold...

I just bought my MP3 this week, and I would like to swap out the stereo (the stock kenwood's volume buttons are bad). So far I am able to pop off the trim, and remove two screws that appear to hold a bracket for the stereo and that small shelf. That little shelf below the stereo is what I am...

Greetings all, I'd like to replace my stock head unit with one from a GT, and have a few questions: 1) Can I expect this to be a plug-and-play situation? I am assuming that in order to keep assembly of the vehicle simple, the wiring harness and connectors would be the same between all trim...

I am putting together an install for my CX-5 Sport. I am debating on whether to go with an amp or a subwoofer. Currently have: Kenwood Excelon DNX690HD (20W RMS/50W Peak) Polk DXi-6500 Components front (FR 35-26K) 6.5" bass in door, 1" tweeter in dash Polk DXi-650 Coax Rear door So, should I...

I have a spare single-DIN deck that I want to put into my '03 P5 which currently is outfitted with the OEM double-DIN system. I'm having a helluva time locating a kit that will adapt the single to the double fitting so I'm hoping at least one of you may have experience with this. To douse a...

been having this issue for awhile, submitted a question on tomtoms support site finally, here's what i sent

I have recently bought a 2010 BOSE CX-9 in auctions and just received it a few days ago. I have an issue with the Bluetooth: though the menu is there (and I can see that the microphones are there), I am not able to do pair the phone. When I press the pick-up or talk button to enable hands-free...
