Hey there, I own the 2022 CX-5 GT AWD and wanted to check if any of the following are possible? 1) Upgrading / swapping the current Manually Adjustable Drivers seat to Electric/Power seat. They introduced Power seats for GT version in 2023. I dont need memory or heated seats - just...

We just got a 2024 CX-5 turbo carbon with 4k dealer CEO miles on it. The Toyo A36 tires truly sucked, so we put a set of Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive tires, which makes it feel like a different car. It had a dangerous level of reactiveness to center lines and a jitteriness with bumps and road...

Just bought a 2013 GT. First things first, replace the stereo! After some chatting with iDatalink Maestro reps, seems the Maestro RR won't really do much beyond retaining steering wheel controls. I was hoping to integrate the factory parking sensors, and possibly the Sirius antenna. Since it...

Hi I just bought an 2008 Mazda Mazda3s and I've been stuck on where I should begin on upgrading my car. I've have an appointment to get the windows tinted on Monday but what do I do after that? It only has 63000 on it and I'm pretty sure its bone stock. What would be a good starting point for...

Hi, I have a 2014 2.2D Sport Nav, which came with the NB1 Mazda Tom Tom/Touch Screen System. I have replaced with a Sony Android Auto unit, which is great. I have got the rear park camera connected fine (UK wiring seems different to some guides I've seen - only 2 wires for the camera, VID+ and...

So, Ive seen a lot of chatter about the new 2.5T engine and how nice the added power makes the car. I do feel like the base engine lags before you actually get a slight power jolt. I however havent seem much talk about the new 2019 G-vectoring system upgrade. Any thoughts or inputs about the new...

Since buying an iPhone XS my Bluetooth connection constantly loses connection and gains it again. So playback is constantly interrupted or speeds up. The old 6s worked fine in my Mazda 6. My new XS phone worked in a newer Mazda no problem. So I assume I need an upgrade in the car, but can I...

Ok, so I called Mazda today regarding availability of Apple Car Play for my model 2018 Grand Touring CX-9 after being told by one dealer that it was available and $800 and another dealer saying they hadn't heard a word. Here's the skinny... Only available for Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 both 2018 and...

Hello all - I really like our '09 Mazda 5 with the exception of the tinny-sounding factory stereo. My low-budget 1st attempt at improving the sound has been to disconnect the small tweeters located at the top of each door. Has anyone found a decent replacement for these? They look pretty...

I would like to swap out my headlights on my sport trim for the GT headlights. What parts do I need to make this happen?

I purchased a 2002 Mazda Protege ES about 2 years ago and I absolutely love the car. Im at a point where I want to play with it a little bit. Among plans I have for my car are the rims. Which right now are the 16" alloys that came stock. I would like to put an aftermarket 17" rim on it. Is this...

Hello, I'm looking for software / Firmware / OS to update the infotainment system of a 2014 CX-9 The car is originally from the USA but is imported into Europe. Mazda Europe can't help me with this. I've noticed several sites on firmware for Mazda CX-5 and Mazda 3 but i doubt if I can use...

Hey all! I just bought an '07 Mazda6i hatchback - really liking it! One of the issues, however, is that the CD changer is broken. It's not top priority, but I was going to keep it simple and get a salvaged unit to replace it. This unit comes as the whole center console, including the climate...

I've got a 2006 mazda3s 2.3L sedan. Very minimal rust - i'm going to fix before winter hits. It's currently just over 150k and it's 95% stock. (As far as I'm aware, the previous owner washed it every week and didn't ratbag it.) Not looking to do much engine work mechanically, but looking at a...

Hey Guys, I'm just wondering what all you guys have done to get some more speed out of your MS6! I just bought mine about a week ago, and I'm just curious what upgrades you all started with just to give her that little bit of extra oomph. Mine is a 06 Mazdaspeed 6 GT Obviously theres the cold...

So, I've got a 2002 Mazda Protege5 that's practically all stock. I've asked around to see where I should start upgrading it, and a lot of people have said a cold air intake is a good place to start. After some looking at the differences between CAI's and short ram intakes I found a short ram...
