infotainment

Question, So I don't know why this might be exactly but for some reason when I turn on my HID lights at night my radio all of a sudden goes staticky as hell. I know its cause of the amperage draw because when the lights are off the radio stations work perfect! I do have a short antenna which...

My radio/cd unit has been in and out for the last year or so, meaning the sound cuts in and out (not the power). I just decided to remove it just to make sure there wasn't a loose connection in the back. When I reconnected, it wouldn't power up at all. I checked all fuses and nothing was thrown...

Here's the deal. well - project, whatever, you'll get the idea. I'm gonna need a few pointers along the way of the build, so im asking you people with more experience with Mazda builds than me. "Cop attracting red" Mazda 6 2010 2.2 diesel 180hp hatchback. With Navi&BOSE setup. 4+1. the "1" is...

Stereo turns on, but there is no sound fromt he speakers. It will not accept a CD and the lights 3 button cluster below (A/C, Defrost...) do not work either. DId something short? Can it be fixed easily?

Hi guys, been on here for a while now, figured I should just make an actual account. So I recently decided to pick up the CX-5(first new car!) and I'm debating if I should pick up TomTom or not. I read through most of the threads involving the NAV but I wanted to get a better feel for what you...

I have just discovered that I cannot operate the radio's TA button and switch off the radio to listen to spoken instructions while using the TomTom sat nav. My previous car, a Toyota Avensis allowed me to use the sat nav and TA information cut in when it was broadcast. As I do not want to have...

Hello all! This Mazda2 is my first car and so far it is pretty fun, but I want to do some small upgrades to fit my personal style a bit and had some questions. First some background info. This is my first car. I usually ride my bike everywhere, but I got a civil service job that requires having...

I was folding down the seats today using the release from the backseat and as I was folding the drivers side back seat, I noticed a box mounted to the frame that had 4 wires coming from it. I wasn't sure what it was, but I was thinking it might be the amp that is supposedly part of the Bose...

I thought I could live with the OEM head unit in my CX-5. I was wrong. In a fit of rage, I ordered a Kenwood DDX790. I ordered from Crutchfield. Since they didn't have any info for a 2014, I took a chance and ordered everything to fit a 2013. Crutchfield recommended the required antenna adapter...

Need help on the following items: - Location of speed sensor wire - Location of backup sensor wire - What head unit cable adapter and antenna adapter should I get? - Any suggestion where to place the GPS receiver? - Any suggestion routing backup camera cable? - Getting to the head unit, is it...

Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2013 Mazda 5 Sport. The only thing that's stopping me is the lack of Bluetooth integration for hands free calling. Bluetooth is standard in the Touring and Grand Touring models, but those models are only available with automatic transmissions and I really want...

Hey guys, I need help putting in my aftermarket single din radio into the car. I have successfully removed the factory double din radio. I bought a single din radio and another single din pocket to replace the gap. Using the clips/brackets off the factory double din radio, I can't get it back...

I'm not sure if there is a previous thread associated with this, but if there is, please let me know. I'll delete this post immediately. I got an aftermarket HU and decided to do the work myself to replace the OEM one. I know for a fact that I have all the wiring hooked up properly ( I had a...

I just installed an aux port in the MD/Tape port of my '02 Protege5 factory stereo. I started to reconnected everything and now my stereo won't turn on. I checked the connections and the fuses and everything looked good. Is this an anti-theft lock when it looses power? I've seen some Mazda...

Dear All, I just bought new Mazda 3 Neo 2013 and just wanted to know is there any way that I can install new navigation as it comes in mazda sport or any other model. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Atif

Hey, I have recently purchased a CX5 Maxx and I wanted to know if it is possible to install the mazda gps system into the car display and sound after market? I didn't want to pay thousands more when all I really want is the sat nav and I really wanted a manual. Any ideas? I don't really want...

Hi, Checking on Mazda's German website the part number GHY9-79-EZXA is a fully working NAV. It is working with all TomTom Live services including live traffic. Checking the same part number on the Danish, Swedish or Norwegian website I find that live services won't work. TomTom's devices work...

Sorry, I'm a complete noob when it comes to car audio. Just got some Polk speakers for my 2014 Mazda 6 and realized I have no idea how to take the front door panel off . Anybody have any pictures or step-by-step instructions on how to remove the door panel? Thanks!

Just ordered my new CX5 Sport (UK); only downsides of the car for me were: lack of DAB option, no sunroof option, small center armrest (why so small Mazda?). For those outside the UK, DAB is our version of HD radio - UK CX5's only come with AM/FM. I've been looking at the Pure Highway 300Di...

Yesterday my navigation system screen went blank than came back on with my route. For some reason when I make a turn the map does not know which way I am heading. Sometimes it shows me off the road or the map will rotate right or left. It is just acting crazy. I took it to the dealer today and...
